what if i was in a van one week and the next week i was in a truck would i need to input the data on my digi?

You could, though there is no requirement in the rules to record if in a week 0000 mon to 2359 sun you dont do any EU work. You only need to record it in a week where you carry out EU work.

EG to keep it simple if you work mon-fri, this week you were in a transit and next week mon tues the same but wed on a tacho, you are only required to have records for mon / tues next week with you and anything falling within the last 28 days which you did in the weeks before. Does that help? I can’t ever seem to simplify it!!!

This is one where I cannot be sure of because if it is for the same employer that you drive LGVs for then it might be that all the van work for that week where you did not come under EU regs will need to be recorded for the RT(WTD)R as you are still classed as a mobile worker :question: :question: :question: :question: :question:

Van work for a seperate employer working under the normal WTD which can be opted out of would be a different issue IMO

I have not got my head around this issue so maybe a GURU can assist ■■?

Do we start taking these guru jibes as a dig ROG?

:unamused: :unamused: ROG obviously dont class ya as a ‘guru’ then zippy! as we all know you get your answers off google and wikipedia :wink: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I don’t want to be one either mate!!!

But thanks to wikipedia I manage to wing it mon-fri!!!

I know quite a bit about the regs but am certainly not classed as a regs GURU and I certainly would not say that I am anywhere near being an EXPERT on that subject

Editted - 1 too many NOTs :laughing:

Don’t worry ROG! Dunno if you have missed the point with what I said now! CC knows the score and regularly takes the **** out of me!

And I would class you as an expert as you really know your stuff and help a lot of people!
