how often should the fith wheel be checked and lubricated?
I don’t think this can be answered with one time period. The 5th wheel should be checked as part of your daily checks but you wouldn’t grease it every day.
crispybacon:
an attendant must accompany you when your load is wider than what?
No idea, I don’t do and have never done wide load stuff.
crispybacon:
Hard ! — if you work for more than one employer you must return your completed tachograph charts to■■? first? second employer? the one i worked most hours for or one who supplied charts?
If those are the only answers available then it is an out of date. You must return charts to the transport concern whose orders you were subject to while driving the vehicle. So if you work for more than one company in a week you return the relevant charts to each company.
crispybacon:
easy probably but will type anyway - you must ensure that your tacos are returned within ?
Charts must be returned within 42 days counting from the day after the latest date on the record.
crispybacon:
Max number of hours you can work in any one day (i put 10 here)
The maximum working hours in a shift/day is 15 hours. 24 hours in the day - 9 hours reduced daily rest = 15 hours. The 10 hours is maximum driving between rest periods.

should ur digital tacho card fail to register whilst on duty what should you do?
Take a print out at the start and end of the shift. Print your name, sign and write your driving licence or digi card number on the rear of the printouts
crispybacon:
how long in advance will the system warn you that you are approaching 4.5 hours of continous drivinng?
15 minutes
crispybacon:
when should you UPLOAD your digital tacho card? eg beginning of each shift…end…once a week
Not sure what they mean here. You don’t upload a digi tacho card. It must be downloaded at least every 28 days but that doesn’t appear to be one of their answers.
crispybacon:
should u insert card at start of shift or only when start driving eg insert in lorry then go into office to sort maps out etc or only when getting in truck to drive off?
If you have access to a vehicle it should be inserted at the start of the shift. If you don’t have access to the vehicle until later in the shift you will have to make manual entries to account for the time from the start of the shift
crispybacon:
does your tacho card address LEGALLY need to match your driving licence address?
No.
crispybacon:
If the incorrect mode switch is used how would u rectify this? eg manual entry?
By means of a manual entry on a chart or in the case of a digi on a printout.
