1- in effect your truck is carrying your toolbox so I believe you are okay to ‘move your tools’.
2- not aware - maybe someone else can assist.

Re: Can passing your transport managers exam count as hours toward your CPC ? I’m being told conflicting answers ?
If it was ‘approved by JAUPT’ and you had been told prior - quite possible.
If you need to ask, probably not.

has this changed after Brexit as our drivers use foreign digit cards until they expire. Tough company only accepts UK drivers license because of the insurance policy in place. I believe not as we still work under various bits of legislation adopted by the UK with the departure of Brexit. Last conve...

I believe (open to correction) that a Digi has to be changed to the current company you reside if your stay is more than 186 days. I have previously asked similar of Licence & DQC with a DVSA officer and advised all cards to be changed within the 186.

Re: If driver starts 5am on Monday worked to his maximum 15 hours allowed 20:00 then taken daily rest of 11 hours
It’s a Reduced Rest not because of 15hr shift. Rest must be concluded within the 24hr day, thus starting at 0500hrs, the Rest finished at 0500hrs the following morning. 2000hrs to 0500hrs is a 9hr Rest period. As it’s less than a a Standard of 11hrs, it is Reduced.

Re: Double manning once first walk round check is completed by driver 1 is driver number 2 required also to check?
A true event…. Crew (driver & mate) go out in the morning and complete their work requirements. On return to depot, TM asks mate (he has the appropriate licence) to go 20mins up the road in the vehicle he was in earlier, collect some goods and return. Mate returns to the depot with collected goo...

Cover you ‘rear’ with as much documented advise/guidance along with the issues. Are you nominated as the TM on the O Licence?

Re: The company he drives for has paid for him to attend a CPC course but are not paying him for the day spent there
Most companies will do 1 or other - pay course or pay time. If you’re lucky they’ll do both. Some companies do neither. As for your request for a link - there isn’t one. It is the drivers responsibility to maintain his/her licence. Some ‘good’ employers help them with it. After all, no DQC, no drivi...

Could be perceived as ‘Failing to drive with due care & attention’ so may be taken (as I understand) into consideration following RTA or similar.
