Hi guys, so I finally started my journey as Van Driver and really need to get some money in at the moment.
I am working full time at the moment but before started i did few shifts in a logistic company through the agency that I enjoyed a lot. Single drop, 5, 6 hours duty, 4 hours driving Max included. Paid minimum for 8 hours.
Unfortunately I had to decline because of the full time job but because I am double manning at my full time job I am thinking I could fit thise shifts with the agency here and there( maybe 1 or 2 weekly)
A I am being delusional? I don’t understand well the double manning hours so any help would be appreciated.
Full time job:
06:00 start
15:00 / 14:30 finish
No more than 4:30 myself driving
Double manning only affects the maximum shift length you can work being a 21 hour shift. But you have to have a second driver from the start of your shift or an hour into your journey to class as being double manned otherwise even if you have two drivers but one is collected a few hours after the first driver set off then you are not double manned and subject to normal hours rules.
Double manning won’t affect whether you can work for two companies what hours and days you work and keeping a track of your times etc will be what’s important as to whether you can work an extra shift. Someone who can work it out will be along to help I have enough trouble sorting out my hours let alone worrying about trying to work yours out.

Tuesday to Saturday
Double manning or single makes no difference to the rest rules
The driving time is not going to be an issue
You need 45 off every second saturday 1500 to tue 0600 with at least 24 off on the weeks between
Generally that will mean you can do one extra day driving every other week but you might be able to squeeze in a little more with careful planning
These could be done on a 45 off week
Finish sat 1500
rest sat 1500 to 2400
drive sun 0000 to sun 0900
sun 0900 to tue 0600 = 45 off
OR
Finish sat 1500
rest sat 1500 to mon 1200 = 45 off
drive mon 1200 to mon 2100
mon 2100 to tue 0600 = 9 off
