quick word of warning orys, if the truck is a digital tachograph, when your the second driver it will NOT record you as having a break, so after the first 2 shifts you will have to stop for a 45 minute break

VOSA are accepting that the first 45 minutes are break.
But I don’t know how other countries are treating it.

That’s similar like in electronic old school tachos - they changing from break to POA when moving…

But I have nothing against breaks :wink:

Thanks a lot for letting me know.
