Second Man for the day

So had the “pleasure” of going out with another driver the other day as a second man sort of , didn’t actually do any driving or very much work for that matter, he did it all.
Question is, even though I recorded less than an hour of other work over a ten hour shift, how many hours would it actually count as for the WTD.

If you were on POA then no it doesn’t count!

What beezle said. We double man a lot, average working week is 26 hours. :wink:

Whatever you recorded as work, so less than an hour

Cheers for that, so you can go to work get paid and record less than an hour for the day, but get paid for being off on holiday and it counts as 8 hours!

This is one of our jobs:

Double-manned, Monday leave Salford and collect Carlisle. Head over to Immingham for the Ferry early hours Tuesday morning. Get off ferry 08.00 Wednesday in Sweden, drive four hours to delivery point, return to Gothenburg and catch evening ferry. Return UK early hours Friday and head back to base.

Technically one of the crew need do no driving, ferry counts as POA so that’s two lots of 27 hours and neither does he need to help loading, speaking to anyone of the ferry staff, so he could in theory do a full week on POA. On that particular run, even if the driver does all the work, it still works out around 20 ish hours all told for a week.
