Digi Taco Question.

[PeteB]

On a paper taco disc, you record name, date, start place and destination and bsically the mileage readings and distance covered. On a digi Taco with a drivers card, how is start place and destination recorded? can you do it with the machine or is it back to the manual records to show where you started from and where you are going to?

You're not required to enter details about start pionts and end points. The tacho is there to record the drivers hours, time in the vehicle, breaks etc. With the tacho cards you have to get a digital downloader. More expense. The cards we've got seem to fill up pretty quickly so if you use it regularly you need to down load often.

Nothing has really changed though has it? you are supposed to leave your paper charts at the office, no difference in downloading or dropping the previous weeks charts in with the transport office.

It asks questions after you put card in "start country UK?" you confirm or select another, as for change yes. You have to buy the initial card and then renew every five years and digital tachos rob your driving time, Every time the vehicle stops it automatically deducts 1 or 2 minutes I can't remember which, so if you are in roadworks for example its better to creep at a snails pace then stop start with the traffic flow. It was out of date technology when it was released.

An artic I used to drive was due for replacement last year and they tried a digi equipped truck on demo, It made the job too close to running out of driving hours or not enough time. So the truck went and the contact with it.

They are easy to use however.

Download every 3 weeks and remember to take a 46 min break and not 45 as when you stop you are in the 1st min of your break. Badly designed piece of junk imo.

It's great how it is illegal to not put a start destination on a chart but you start a digi card in the uk no matter where you are in the country.
