As there’s been some interesting questions from new and old I thought I would do a quiz.
Q1 Taking into account that he does a 15 minutes check and 15 minutes debrief and drives for ten hours,when would the breaks be and what mode would he after use at drop 1 officially.
delboytwo was driving a 44 ton truck with a 13.6 meter trailer, he had 26 pallets on. He started work at 6am and finished at 9pm, there was a 30 minute delay in getting the trailer,on knowing this he was ask to move two trailers which took 30 minutes he had two drops on. The first drop was 4 hours and 30 minutes driving time and the other was 2 hours 30 minutes, there was two hours waiting time at drop 1 this was not know in advance of his arrival, there is only a onsite loo, and 1 hour loading at drop 2 this was know in advance.
Q2
How many hours of DCPC are required for a driver that passed is test before 1997, and how my this be done and how many test would be carried out to gain your DQC For periodic training.
Q3
What is the maximum length of a ridged lorry.
Q4
How many hours cans a driver drive under EU regulations between weekly rests
Q5 The run below as a start time of 6am,and as only got two hours driving to the drop and two hours back, 15 minutes work at drop. Your now back at yard and you have to do 3 hours other work before you go home, how much break is required for the day and when must it be taken. (there is two possible answers here)
You come to work and find that the job you were going to do as changed, the new load as to be loaded and it will take 2 hours to load, your truck is available and you can get it ready. the boss tells you to put your tacho on POA for the time of two hours after your 15 minutes check, you leave the yard on the two hour mark and go up the road
Q1…i’ll have to come back to as i’ll need to concentrate and count.
Q2…35 hours, no tests.
Q3…don’t know
Q4…56
Q5…30 mins break needed. Probably easiest to take it all just at the 6 hours work point.
Q4 is a sneaky one cos it says between weekly rests and not in a fixed week so it means working out how many possible driving hours can be done in 144 hours crossing two fixed weeks using minimum rests … hmmm …
Its not that easy unless you want 58 as the answer - fri to wed would allow 4 x 10s and 2 x 9s for the same start and finish times on each of the 6 days but its possible to fit in more driving hours in the 144 hours available from one weekly rest to the next

You have the answer but don’t think of 144 hour as its not its 6x24 hour between weekly rests, and the only answer can be 58,
its even in the vosa giude
ROG:
Bit lost on Q5 - does it mean the driver gets the load sorted by doing other work but the boss says to put it on POA ?
