could have been done then so as said don’t worry …

Not your prob shag. They should be copying the tacho head unit once every couple of months although it holds a year odd of data so…

It is a legal requirement for the operator to ensure the head unit is downloaded.

Legally the VU should be downloaded no later than 56 days from the day after the last download, but as others have said it’s not your problem so don’t worry about it, there’s no comeback on you if the VU is never downloaded.

I went to one of our depots last week and found that the manager has made it the 2 drivers jobs to download the head weekly along with their drivers cards.
I was like WTF ? Nothing to do with you :S

Apparently they have been doing it for time now, since the manager took over, and now it’s the ‘normal’ thing to do.

Lazy managers :stuck_out_tongue:
