will be looking for weekend work

Do you have a mon to fri job?

Yes rog making beds at the mo for a well known company been here for going on 7 years now seems longer lol

If you work mon to fri then you can only drive for one day every other weekend due to weekly rest rules

In any week where you drive then the other job must be officially recorded

Thanx for the heads up rog much app mate wouldnt have known that how would i go about recording the hours for the mon - fri job ?

Easiest way is to get a box of analogue tacho cards and use 1 for each day worked with your name, date, start and finish times on each

After 28 calendar days you can bin them

Thanx rog :wink:

You will need initial first before you can do periodic unless you already had a LGV C1 on licence before you did C

hey mate, nah it was straight forward to be honest, just mastering the reverse & the coupling procedure and just road position, but with determination and hard work, Justice paid off! :slight_smile:

I see your lucky with your cpc, i have to do these crappy 2 new mods that are in force, so yet again back again to the test center lol
