SOD & EOD entries on digi printout

Not used digi for awhile.

My Q is do I use the times on the printout for my SOD & EOD which are 1 hour early due to UTC or do I input the actual times i put the card in and took in out which will be 1 hour later than what my printout shows.

Thanks

You put it on the time you start and end work according to the tachograph, the days of “pinching the hour” finished with the analogue.

Cheers thankyou

There is nowhere to be writing EOD or SOD with a digi tacho and your SOD and EOD will be whatever manual entry you make.

Your start of duty and end of duty times for your time sheet are local time, so BST one hour later than the tacho time at this time of the year. If you are making manual entries at the start of a shift to cover the time from taking the card out and actual finish time of the previous shift and from the start of the shift until when you got into the truck, then they will be in UTC, same as the tacho.

‘… do I use … UTC or do I input the actual times…’

As a Euro-sceptic (no, seriously!), I’m a mischievous sod & mix UTC and local by simply putting the time from whatever clock I see first with either ‘UTC’ or ‘L’ penned alongside it

OK, so the clerks initially got a bit mardy about it, but as I told them, we’re all in this EU together: I argued lets all have a slice of the undemocratically introduced EU nausea rather than subordinating driver’s beneath suits who’d like the reality of bolleaux tidied up by us drivers before we presenting to them with the nonsense taken out. My Top Trump was that it is EU administration & that they are administrators within the EU.

It works for me.

Pedantic? Some may suggest perhaps - but why be an unpaid merde filter for a foreign system that is of no interest to me as an England-only driver?

The problem is, I was talking ■■■■■■■■, Neil has mentioned a card, the other bloke chucked in a bomb which I caught

Hope you are not injured, Wheel Nut

what the [zb] is a SOD, and EOD?
i know what a UTC is, i saw one on star trek.

Don’t worry your pretty little head about it, it’s not necessary and is only used by power-crazed transport managers who love writing internal infringement reports.

I jumped in with an earlier answer without reading the end of it, so I was talking about wax charts. There is no need to take a digital printout unless you have been naughty.

Employers may also ask drivers
to indicate on a chart where their duty (or rest) begins and ends, so that they can ensure that a full
record has been submitted.

Most analogue charts have a specified place to make manual entries (usually on the reverse). However,
manual entries can be made anywhere on the chart provided that they are clear and do not obliterate
other recordings.

Unfortunately I work for a (power crazed transport company) who want all their drivers to do a printout after every shift - yep every shift !!

On the rear of the printout is 0 - 24 hours and this is where we enter our relevant SOD & EOD times.

Wheelnut was correct in his original answer that we should enter the SOD & EOD as per the digi printout times and not enter the actual time we entered/ejected the card which would be 1+ hr ahead of the digi times.

Has anybody pointed out to them how much this pointless printing costs I’m paper? I love how technology keeps moving forward yet some companies remain resolutely stuck in the past. I bet they still use fax machines in the office too don’t they!

I would leave that firm, they haven’t got a clue. VOSA wouldn’t even look at those printouts if they came round to do an inspection, they aren’t required under any legislation so have about as much relevance as the toilet roll in the bogs.

ruddyantique might as well do a bit of work by writing the SOD&EOD cause i know he dont do much else while at work apart from sleep and eye up the warehouse girls

I think the correct answer is whatever your (obviously very confused) employer wants you to do as there is no correct answer in tacho law due to the printouts being completely unnecessary in the first place.

As this is a pointless exercise and surely the data is available from the data on your card if somebody with a bit of brains could read it. I’d go for Happy Keith idea of annotating my printouts with UTC or L. :smiley:
