Re: Could someone please help with lock-in and lockout when downloading a the Tacho on wagons?

You need to lock the vehicle in to your company when you first get it, keep it locked in for the duration you have the vehicle. And then if you sell/de-hire for example lock it back out. That's great, thank you. I'm glad I've been doing it correctly. In bud Thank you! ☺️ Have you started a new job ?...

I quick question, hoping you can help restore my sanity... a driver gains class 1&2 in armed forces in 2016. Leaves armed forces and new job requires to drive a utility 7.5t rigid. Does this driver need to resit his theory, practical and complete 35hrs CPC training? Or just the 35hrs CPC training?
