Inselaffe:
Due to the length of the crossing, it is not possible to have your full daily rest on the boat.
So after booking in at Harwich, don’t forget to set the vehicle to “Ferry/Train” and your driver setting to “Rest” on your digitacho
That isn’t the point at which you select the Ferry/Train option. You select it just before you begin embarkation so it will mark the data and printout to show the reason the mode has changed from rest and you then must remember to select rest mode again once on board. If you are continuing your rest after leaving the ferry you would do the same thing just before disembarkation to again explain why the mode is switching from rest. Just selecting Ferry/Train when you park in the port prior to boarding will result in several infringements. You can also only use the interrupted rest if you have worked less than 13 hours in the shift, 12 - 12.5 hours realistically to allow times for the movements and still fit the required 11 hours into the 24-hour period.
I have been doing it the same way as Inselaffe and had no infringements or comeback when i have had my card scanned back at the yard. I was told to do it this way by our tacho man, although it seems more logical your way to be honest.
Simon:
Reading that just reminded me.
In Holland, at the tunnels, they’ve changed the signs concerning hazardous loads.
Where they used to have the haz’ plated vehicle barred sign, with a Pg I, II or III modification, they now have a C or D modification.
Are these the new signs you’re talking about ?
If so, are C and D a direct replacement for Pg I and II (or II and III).
If not, can you give me a brief explanation please ?
I first noticed the change a couple of months ago, roughly.
I’ve been meaning to ask, but kept forgetting
Hi Simon, I’m already on it mate.
For now, we can expect to see all tunnels on the Trans European Road Network (TERN) over 500m in length being equipped with new signage.
The letters for designating the tunnels will be A - E, where “A” = no restriction and “E” meaning very restricted as to which dangerous goods may be carried through the tunnels.
I’m working on a post about that, and whilst I develop it, I’m keeping it in the pantry for now.
Is this related to the C3 H1
C3 H2
C3 H3
These used to be used on the Kennedy Tunnel and we had a card to decode the instructions in writing. If it was forbidden, then the Leifkenshoek was the way to go.
We had another post prompted by Brit Pete about C24 a. C24 b. and C24 c which involved explosives and inflammables
Well job went well no major ■■■■ ups harry was spot on

brit pete: THIS is a possible ROUTE There are lots of road works on the A1 so be aware that you may get stuck in a jam or two also do not forget the maut, If carrying ADR you are not allowed through the ELBE tunnel apart from the times allowed also it is only for 4.00m and they have a automatic height control so you get caught and pay the fine ,any more questions just ask away
I know its a bit late now (job complete) but if you use routes.tomtom.com

i thought it was cheaper in the uk at the moment for shopping?
glad the trip went well, i have only shipped from harwich twice but i really like that route, and im glad i read this thread as i had been putting my tacho onto ferry once i had boarded
if shopping for wine try the ALDI or LIDOL ; in Germany ,for beer use the ALDI in Belgian UNLESS you want some special beers also try the aldi in Holland,if you need to find the stores use the internet as the storelocators will show you where to shop, in Belgian by LOKEREN is a ALDI next door to the DE HAIZE supermarkt, these are also good places to shop, for those gong to AUSTRIA try the Hoffner aldi shops for beer also the supermarkts are great for bargins
