Cheer’s mrpj for the reply :smiley: .

No problem, the new rules about 7.5t limiters seems complicated with international and UK rules.

what rules■■?

this is one problem with agency work. im an HGV driver. i dont get told about non HGV regulations or amendments that are passed. i still havent been officially informed about the WTD although i seem to know a lot more about it than full time employees that i have worked beside.
no new time sheets yet so i worked out my hours and handed a sheet of paper in which included a break down of every hour i drove, worked, rested and POA for the week. including as a drivers mate and van driver! how many others have kept their agency this informed? i dont mean just in here!

Just out of interest these are the rules I was refering to:

i see. cheers. i thought there was new ruling governing the use of 7.5 tonners on the outside lane or new speed limits for them.
my point is still valid though. if any new restrictions were introduced, how would we know? the only information i get is via these websites :confused:

Have not done agency work myself but if you are not being informed then I have to agree with you that it is hard to keep up with the rules.
