If any of your work that day needs tacho you have to use it all day. Possibly log all that weeks work too.

Just been looking at the new guidance & you might be ok re utilities exemption. It used to be tied up to the big main companies. Now it seems much looser. Vehicles used in connection with sewerage, flood protection, water, gas and electricity maintenance services, road maintenance or control, door-to-door household refuse collection or disposal, telegraph or telephone services, radio or television broadcasting and the detection of radio or television transmitters or receivers. There have been a number of significant court rulings from the European Court of Justice and British courts dealing with this exemption. Common themes have included a direct and close involvement in the exempt activity; the principle of a general service in the public interest; and the limited and secondary nature of the transport activity. It’s DVSA’s view that vehicles used in connection with sewerage, flood protection, water, gas and electricity services must be involved in the maintenance of an existing service (rather than the construction of a new service) to claim the concession.

Er you have to keep them for quite a while. Even when not using tacho you need to comply with working hours regs re driving time & hours worked / rest periods.

Even lots of real utilities are not exempt under that exemption.

Sorry they are downloaded on my PC.

No

REGULATION (EC) No 561/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 15 March 2006 on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport and amending Council Regulations (EEC) No 3821/85 and (EC) No 2135/98 and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85

REGULATION (EU) No 165/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 4 February 2014 on tachographs in road transport, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport and amending Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport

Would that make it exempt? Remember its the use that defines it not the registration. It will have business use insurance after all or you have no insurance.

In this case? I cant see any that would.

Unless another exemption applies yes. You are outside the 100km radius from your base. Get it delivered to site.

Tachographs should be installed in vehicles to which Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 applies. Certain vehicles should be excluded from the scope of that Regulation in order to introduce some flexibility, namely vehicles with a maximum permissible mass not exceeding 7,5 tonnes used for carrying materials, equipment or machinery for the driver’s use in the course of his work, and which are used only within a 100 km radius from the base of the undertaking, on condition that driving such vehicles does not constitute the driver’s main activity.

Get TP to deliver.

The law is from you main base.

I cant see any options working bar kill the tree or move the wall 2+m. Any less will be short term buck passing.

Been further. But normally to make it viable for you it needs to be a few days.

How many days?

Thinking of upgrading or changing your trailer or vehicle? If your not sure if your combination is legal on a cat B licence then use this handy guide. https://www.facebook.com/TrailerTrainingCymru/posts/2177495702510724

No that is fine, Keep a note of this web page. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/towing-a-trailer-with-a-car-or-van/towing-a-trailer-with-a-car-or-van-the-basics Especially this bit Where the sum of the maximum plated weights of the towing vehicle and of the trailer added together exceed the plated GCW of the towing vehicle, this is not a problem as long as the ‘actual’ weights of the vehicle and trailer (which may not be fully laden at the time) do not exceed the plated GCW. Just remember that this is ONLY for C&U offences not for licences. For licences we use the max plated weights.

We don't yet have trailer registration unless you are taking a commercial trailer out of the UK.

Do you have the same rules in Sweden?
