Just finished my first week at a cash and carry for an agency. The cash and carry operates Mon to Sat deliveries, so this is new for me.
Mon 0800 to 1400
Tue 0800 to 1400
Wed 0800 to 15.30
Thu 0800 to 16.30
Fri 0800 to 1700
Sat 0800 to 1300
20 hours driving total for the 6 days
Im due to start again on Mon at 0800 giving me a weekly rest of 43 hours. I expect to do the same hours again next week so on Mon I can include the 2 hours of weekly rest in with my daily rest?
Have I got this right? Just need to put my mind at ease
You will of reduced by two hours, so you got to pay them back within a period of three weeks. Which if you finish at 1400 and dont start till 0800 you will of paid it back the next day so think you are fine.

It’s legal as long as you have a regular 45 hour weekly rest period next week.
In any 2 consecutive weeks you should have either 2 regular weekly rest period or a regular weekly rest period and a reduced weekly rest period.
In other words you must have a regular (45 hour) weekly rest at least every other week.
ROG:
How many weeks are you going to be on this job ?
I don’t know Rog. Its a easy number with more lifting than driving, so I would like to stay as long as possible until a full time job turns up. The agency have lost me in their explination of RTD/WTD etc saying I’ll be fine, but I don’t think so myself. Looks like I will need every second Saturday off.

That’s no surprise
You catch on quick
Any chance you can get them to move the times a little so a 45 can be done ?
The other thing I should say is the drivers mates all start at 6am to load vehicles and sort deliveries. So their working times are all in this too. They should all finish at 2pm. I’m not sure if a weekly rest counts for them as well
Just an update to the situation I was in with weekly rest when working six days. The full-time drivers at this cash & carry have every second sat off. So I phoned my agency and said I would like every second Sat off as thats what the full timers do.
I was then told that as Im no full time I could work every Sat as long as it averages out over 26 weeks. I ask what if I work every Mon to Sat for the next 26 weeks, how does it average out or how do I sort it? The reply was…Ok just have every second Sat off
Just goes to show, without trucknet Id be none the wiser. Cheers trucknet
