Poa question

I just think it was frowned upon in France and to make life easier we took our breaks together, bit of an unwritten rule like the 4 hour driving that the Gendarmerie are so fond of.

If I was a school teacher I would be telling you off for your previous post then.

and is only accepted in the UK.

Firstly apologise to Tachograph.

tachograph:
so it’s a bit of a farce if it’s not accepted by other EU countries.

Now apologise to everyone else.

As far as I’m concerned, poa is nothing but a number fiddling scam, specifically designed to get around the 60 hours limit on your working week.

Absolutely spot on, however its mainly to get around the 48hr average limit. I was driving as a Linehaul driver at Geopost (Interlink/Parceline/DPD) when the WTD was coming in. Union was negotiating a 20% payrise and the company were going for it as they foresaw a big rise in demand for drivers by almost everyone with a 48hr max week as at that time it was 48hrs max, not average, and there was also not going to be a 60hr max either. Then PoA and max 60hrs work a week was announced and that 20% deal went out the window and it was back to arguing over 3%.
