Of course they will there will be no other way, oh sorry there is do everything above board and have £100 a week wage and pay the rest into the system.

So Mark you are saying if i do everything above board i get a wage rise, ideal

 

The future will be interesting thats for sure.

[Mark James]

Just have to plough on, be interesting to see if and when we start getting caught what the outcome will be. Maybe see ourselves on the 2012 edition of the BBC excellent documentary Car Wars.

Is it worth lobbying for an 'O Licence Lite' for operators who use vans, not LGVs?

Page 8- 21 will be abolished??? If it's staying you can argue that's what a chipper is?

If O licence happens and tachographs for tree surgeons and foresters they are going to work smaller and less profitable days.

The maximum a HGV driver can work in a fortnight is 90 hours. Regs determine which Sunday this starts, no pick n mix. Also specified is a minimum variable rest period according to what you have already done. So if you work(includes driving time) a big day you have to compensate in that 2 week period. But it wont work by having a big hit on the job then having rest of week off you will have to travel out the to job more, pollute the environment we were all trying to save with extra trips. Everybody will lose expect Tacho installers and enforcement fines.
