An OD can use Article 8(a)

By way of derogation from Article 8, an Owner Driver may extend the daily
rest period beyond the 24-hour period in order not to jeopardise customer relations
and thereby his business. This derogation may be used no more than twice between
weekly rest periods and any rest taken outside the 24-hour period shall be compensated
by an equivalent period of rest taken en bloc before the end of the third week following
the week in question and attached to another rest period of at least nine hours.

I hope this helps.

It certainly does. Well well, I didn’t know that one existed, not that I’m likely to be OD again. Not in this country anyway.

Thankyou.

Say for example, you just HAD to make that drop and didn’t have enough hours left, what would you do? Yes, yes, I know you’d park up and tell the boss to shove it, but what if you were an OD for example?

See,a man could spend hours seeking that kind of information and never find it but here’s your man and he’s on it straight away.
I often think that you should be an app on a smart phone but what to call it?
Coffee time? Maybe…Or how about CoffeeSmart something?

Arse…It has a ring about it.

Oh and morning.

coffeeholic · 1 February 2012 03:05

Morning to you to, I did wave earlier but you may not have noticed.

Thankyou

shropsbri · 1 February 2012 03:14

You need to use more fingers…unless you was waving at George who is going uphill tonight.

coffeeholic · 1 February 2012 03:25

I used all 11 fingers and I just waved at every truck going up or down in the window of opportunity.

Thankyou.

shropsbri · 1 February 2012 03:33

Ah twas your extra finger…and here was me thinking it was something else.
I waved at everyone last night apart from a DHL one.

coffeeholic · 1 February 2012 03:48

I don’t know who you work for so I don’t know which ones not to wave at.

Thankyou.

shropsbri · 1 February 2012 03:49

And I dont know who you work for either.

coffeeholic · 1 February 2012 05:14

I don’t work for anyone. I am employed by a large company but by no stretch of the imagination can you call what I do work. My WTD ‘working time’ weekly average over the last 7 or 8 months is just under 21 hours.

Thankyou.
