Just making the painful transition to this digital equipment and boy am I having headaches with it.I seem to be able to master the basics but have a problem when I do a print out at shifts end ie-it seems to take at least 3 actual printouts to get an accurate record of my daily activities and am using far to many paper rolls as a result.I figure I am doing something majorly wrong and even lost a job with a firm that operates a zero-tolerance approach to infringements?
Problem is i always relied on the old style tak trak device when on the paper discs but this duzna seem to work when used in digital domain.Can ya dig?
You shouldn’t take a print out as soon as you have stopped - but rather wait 5 minutes with the mode as rest
I always used to do a print out everynight but it was using way too much paper
all i do now is fill in a small photocopied list each night
if you press ok and then scroll through to display driver one - 24 hr day - you can show all your days works without wasting paper
and if you forget you can always select the sate when it asks - as with all the 90 fortnightly spread is one press of the down arrow
i used to fill in the daily drive each night if you use microsoft exel and a laptop it can work it out for you
i do have a time sheet already made for exel - i can send it to anyone who wants it
it also does fuel and weekly / dail drives
regards
Steve
PS i used to leave my card in all the time during the week too
If you are using a Siemens tachograph just press the button to eject the card at the end of shift and you will be given the option to do a printout, press “OK”, you will not have to wait as the card ejection process will have already begun.
Having said that if you do printouts every day you’re going to use a lot of paper unnecessarily

Sorry but I don’t understand that, are you saying you got an infringement for doing a printout frankly any firm that has a zero tolerance to infringements probably isn’t worth working for anyway
Nq not for the printout just general infringements such as 4 minutes over the 90 hour fortnight to give one example.Trouble is after years of being told to just…"sign this paper and don’t be a naughty boy again"I ended up on a 3 month trial with a massive Soham based outfit that as i say won’t tolerate any offences so i’m back on the dole again after 10 accident free years in the increasingly corporate world of containers…■■■■ appens
Sounds like you need to go back to the base roots of haulage matey
I personally chack every infringement and advise the driver individually on how to rectify and control their faults
its working slowly but surely -
you are all human not robots and life isn’t perfect esp on the road
