So you cannot work from 06:00 to 12:00 and then take a break, you must take a break at 11:45 or before?
@hgvrulestheeasyway8993 ай бұрын
Hi. If you go even 1 minute over 6 hours work you'll have an infringement. You need to take a break any time before 6 hours. So if you take a break at 11:00, or 11:55 or 11:57 that's fine. Just bear in mind always take 16 or 17 minutes break.

If I work 6 hours and have taken a 15 min break within that but then only work another 30 mins after should I have another break or is my early finish counted as a break? Thanks
@hgvrulestheeasyway8993 ай бұрын
Hi. If you work over 6 hours no matter how much over you still need to take another 15 minutes break. If you work 6 hours and 10 minutes or 6 hours and 30 minutes. To avoid taking another break after working over 6 hours you can take 30 minutes break before 6 hours and that will cover your wtd.

Everything you said in this is very true. I just got my licence in Feb this year after a long and difficult journey through the Skillsbootcamp. It took a bit, but i just got my first job through an agency. Super happy. It's very hard work, though, requiring 50/50 manual labour and driving. The industry does look very saturated now for drivers but im still glad I got the licence. One of my hardest challenges

Hi. Thank you :) Yes, that's correct.. If you don't drive 4,5 hours in a day. If you do drive for 4,5 hours you can take 15 minutes then second break 30 minutes ( that will cover your driving hours as well) then another 15 minutes and you're covered.

I would recommend getting a C+E license. I don’t drive for a living I just do it for extra pocket money through an agency. I’ve driven the last two Fridays and got £180 and £170. I did about 12 hours work total with less than 7 hours of that actually driving and I’ve earned £350! If you have the opportunity to do it then do it.

Thanks for the best video, just to clarify: If I work 8 hours a day (starting at 00:00) should I take one 30 min break at 5:59 or 5:45? And if I work 11hrs a day, will one 45 min brake starting at 5:59 or 5:45 cover WTD? Thanks
@hgvrulestheeasyway8995 ай бұрын
Hi Darius. You need to take 15 minutes break BEFORE you hit 6 hours of work then another 15 minutes if you go OVER 6 hours. If you take a 30 minutes break at exactly 05:45 that would cover your wtd but bear in mind it's most likely not going to happen. I would take 15 minutes before 6 hours ( any time between 5am and 6 am) and then another 15 minutes before hitting the 8 hours work so before 8am. If you work 11 hours a day you'll need to take another 15 minutes when you go OVER 9 hours of work. Taking 45minutes break in one go won't cover your WTD. It would cover only your driving hours.

@hgvrulestheeasyway8995 ай бұрын
Hi. Driving hours and WTD that's two different things. If you take 45 minutes break before your 6 hours work it will cover only your driving hours. Your working time directive won't increase. For working time directive you still need to take your breaks as in the video. That's why the best way of doing it is taking 15 minutes break and then 30 minutes break

I'm not entirely certain, but I believe one reason many companies refrain from accepting new drivers is due to the higher insurance premiums involved. Consequently, some companies prefer candidates who have held their licences for at least 12 months.
@RunninWithScissors6 ай бұрын
It's down to the insurers, most big companies "self insure" so don't have an insurance company dictating things like how much experience a driver has. Smaller companies can't afford to self insure so are stuck with these insurance companies.

Hi. This is what the video says. You need a total of 30 minutes between 6-9 hours and a total of 45 minutes between 9-12 hours. For WTD you can take 15 minutes breaks. Please bear in mind that WTD and driving hours that's two different rules.

Obv I’m grateful but I tried my hand at every agency known to man in the between time because I’m excited to get out in the truck but no one will touch me with a barge pole due to my inexperience.

you never see the bus industry saying they need experience to get a job on the buses..... ok maybe 6 months driving a car.. what I'm saying is in the bus industry, if you have a pcv/psv licence you are most likely get a job, and with a hgv licence, you don't... this is why you see more and more young bus drivers! say you passed car test at 17, dunno what to do after school, after 6 months car driving experience, bus companies are happy to train you up and get you in the driver seat! and driving buses is much harder than lorries.. and some buses are much longer than class 2 lorries! you don't often see 18 year old driving lorries, my local first bus depot just passed 2 new drivers, an 18 and a 19 year old! what does that tell ya, the hgv industry has the mentality of so what if you have a licence, no experience no job.... you can't blame the ''shortage'' on brexit, blame the companies and their mindsets. you have shitload of new hgv licence holders waiting YEARS for their first runs.
