Weekly rest periods

Hi I know this has probably been asked thousands of time on here and apologises but can’t get my head round this.

So this week is my first week trucking my working hours consist of :

01:50 - 19:04 Monday
04:54 - 1328 Tuesday
1343 - 2259 Wednesday
0934 - 2152 Thursday
11:26 - 23:02 Friday

I now believe ( May get a phone call) I am off Saturday (today) and Sunday (tomorrow)

Does this mean my weekly rest is correct. Way I’m looking at is I have 48 hrs weekly rest now.
Or dos the daily rest hours count towards weekly rest

But what does this also mean for my next week work

Any help appreciated (simple terms as possible please guys and girls)

Simply put when you remove you card/chart after your shift on Friday you need 45 hours from that moment to when you start again on Sunday.

For example finish 15:00 on Friday and you can start again at 12:00 on Sunday

Is them hours correct for Monday at over 17

Yes they are correct I was double manning as it was a training day so we were told we could do 22.

21 hours max for multi manning but as you only did 17 that’s fine :smiley:

What did you do before this lot - the last 9 days will do?
01:50 - 19:04 Monday
04:54 - 1328 Tuesday
REDUCED WEEKLY REST TAKEN AT THIS POINT
1343 - 2259 Wednesday
0934 - 2152 Thursday
11:26 - 23:02 Friday

The first part of a weekly rest is ALSO the daily rest - a daily rest turns into a weekly rest if you like …

I was going to say that Mondays shift was illegal unless you was multi-manning but I see you was :slight_smile:

Your weekly rest period begins when you finish work on Friday, you need 45 consecutive hours rest for a regular weekly rest period not 48 hours.

Fridays daily rest period also counts as part of the weekly rest period.

If you have a regular 45 hour weekly rest period you can legally start work again at 20:02 Sunday, if you’re having 24 hour reduced weekly rest period you can legally start again at 23:02 tonight (23:02 Saturday).

Alternatively I see you had a reduced weekly rest period of 24 hours 15 minutes on Tuesday (13:28 Tuesday to 13:43 Wednesday), so you could work the weekend if you want to but would then need to start a weekly rest period no later than 13:43 Tuesday.

What did you do before this lot - the last 9 days will do?

What difference does it make ? :confused:

Possible regular weekly rest already taken for this week

That’s just going to confuse a new drive.

Anyway going back nine days would be pointless, if the OP had 45 hours off before the Monday shift it was a regular weekly rest period for the first week worked as a driver.

Was that his first ever day as a driver under EU regs?

I saw that but was not certain that it did not mean the first full week

2 yes my first ever week driving

Before I work in retail for 7 years finished there Friday started driving Monday.

Thank you for the info

As your first week started after sunday midnight then you already have a full 45 regular weekly rest for the fixed week 19th to 25th May

you also have an extra reduced weekly rest during the week which does not need compensating for but resets the max 144 hours between weekly rests rule

If you have a regular weekly rest this weekend which finishes after sunday midnight then it can be used as the regular weekly rest for the fixed week (known as week) 26th May to 1st June

If you start back before sunday midnight then its simply another extra weekly rest

Each fixed week (sunday midnight to sunday midnight) must have a weekly rest IN it

IN means it must be at least 1 minute in the fixed week you wish to use it for

A weekly rest can only be used once so if it includes sunday midnight then it can be used for the fixed week ending OR the fixed week starting

Every other fixed week must have a regular 45 weekly rest used for it

There must be at least a reduced weekly rest of 24 hours for a fixed week

Still can not get it. :blush:
Last weekend been off so over 45hrs rest.(and weekends before)
During the week had over 11hrs rest.
Been asked to do one delivery today in hope to get
back till 9am because must start at 6am on monday
and I would have my 45hrs rest. But… got back at 10am.
No chance to start at 7am, mut start at 6am.
So weekly rest will be reduced.
Is that means I have to take one xtra hour on next weekly
rest?
Thank’s in advance!

Compensation for reduced weekly rest periods should be paid back by the end of the third week following the week in which the reduced weekly rest period was taken.

You will need to add one hour onto any rest period of at-least 9 hours.
If you have 11 hours daily rest period every day next week you can count one of them as a reduced daily rest period plus one hour compensation for the reduced weekly rest period, alternatively if you have a rest period of 12 hour in the week the compensation will be paid back.

Basically if you have a rest period of one hour more than necessary any-time in the next three weeks the compensation will be paid back.

So.
If I have 12hrs or reduced daily rest plus one hour by next saturday it resets this week and I can work out my driving/rest periods starting from next monday? :blush:

As I said you can pay back the one hour any-time over the next three weeks (3 weeks to keep it simple before anyone says anything :unamused:).

Sorry I’m not sure what you mean by “and I can work out my driving/rest periods starting from next monday?” :confused:

The fact that you had a reduced weekly rest period this weekend makes no difference to your driving limits, and the compensation being paid back does not mean you can forget about this weeks reduced weekly rest, to keep things simple you will need a regular 45 hour weekly rest period next weekend, that’s assuming you work Monday to Friday/Saturday.
