If your 'normal working week is 39 hours x2 = 78 hours then that leaves 9x2 =18 hours to play with.Not so. If his other job is not in this industry then the WTD does not come into play, the 39 hours would not count toward the 48 hour average and 60 hour maximum per week working time for the WTD as it applies to a mobile worker. Those hours will only apply for the EU Driver’s Hours Regulations.
Now I’m looking for the glint of a gunsight and getting prepard to duck 
lol,think you’ve sorted me out one way or another anyway guys.
Just to clarify however;
I start mon 0800 and finish fri 1530, with occasional overtime.
My job title is DRIVER/LABORER (though the laborer bit rarely applies, I do a lot of fabrication and steelwork)
Now that I’ve got the “C”, part of my job will be to drive work’s 7.5tonner. until I leave,that is
Thanks for the help sofar

You can run, but you can’t hide.

That makes a difference. I assume that will require use of a tachograph in which case the WTD for mobile workers will indeed apply to you and you will have to make sure you don’t exceed 60 hours work for the week, only driving and work count, not breaks or POA, toward the 60 hour total. As you will only be able to do one driving shift every two weeks your average of 48 hours shouldn’t be a problem thanks to all those 39 hour weeks.
If you are driving the 7.5 tonner every working day you will obviously need tacho records for each of those days but if you only drive it on certain days you will still need a record for each day you work. The only weeks you would need to keep no daily records for are weeks when you do no driving at all.

SAVED - just in time
Well done mate. Glad you made it through and hope you enjoy the new experiences the job will bring.
thankyou
Don’t worry, I’m not usually one to complain, I was genuinely not very happy with the way the training went
God I’m confused lol.
soo, What am I allowed per week? 48 or 60 hours or other? Take it that’s any work but obviously not breaks?
Do the 56 hours a week / 90 a fortnite apply to? Just driving or will that include my other work too?
and, how come I can only work once a fortnight?
one last question, define “driving” i.e. I also do a reasonable ammount of van driving at work, that count towards “driving hours” too?

I’m no expert on this - coffeeholic, tachograph & geebee45 are - but I’ll try to answer some.
the 48 hours is a combination of driving & other work not breaks or POA (told you are going to be waitng but being ready to start again) and is an average over 17 or 26 weeks (depends what you agreed with your employer)
van driving is other work
you can usually only do one day every other weekend due to the weekly breaks that need to be taken under EU rules.
A tacho must be filled in for each day worked (name ,start & finish time) using a seperate one for each day for the week in which you came under EU regs (sun midnight to sun midnight)
Think isaid that ok but prob better if you can get reply from one of the three mentioned
so, I can work an average of 48hours a week (on the weeks I drive a vehicle fitted with a tacho) with a maximum of 60 hours a week, all work included if I drive said vehicle that week.
If I drive this vehicle in a perticular week, I need to fill in tacho’s for that week - do I include daily breaks (lunch break etc) or not?
Is that close enough for a rule of thumb?

NO - just your name with the start & finish times.
thanks, so have I finaly got my head round it!?
