End of shift digital tachograph card eject process

Couple of questions please...........Why didn't you switch the mode to rest if it was the end of your shift? Also.......is it best to switch the engine off but ignition on before removing the card or is it ok to eject it with the engine running...........I feel it seems like you're still at work if ejecting with the engine running.

Bit of a weird one this but my company pulled me in for a slight tacho infringement...........they said I wasn't entering the begin country. The thing is I always switch to rest after my shift and end the country in the UK etc (I'm never overseas). When I initially put my card in at the beginning of my shift the enter country option isn't there (only the option to manual enter extra work etc). How do I go about this...any ideas please? They said I could go into the main menu and do it but I can't see anybody else having this problem online !

What happens if you eject the card while driving

I've been ejecting my card on rest and it's been counting my off time and weekends as other work so I got in my daf today and it said rest period needed immediately. Our machines are a bit different we have to hold the driver 1 or 2 button in to eject card. Should I end the shift with the hammers showing or the bed??

Hi, nice and simple lesson cheers

By the way, some lorries don't let you eject the card unless IGN is on. So, if like me, it wont eject and you're tearing your hair out thinking its bust - just try turning the IGN on again.

You dont eject your card until the driving week has ended!

Hi Steve do you not put your tacho in rest mode before ejecting?? That's what we were taught in 2005/6 when we first had digi tacho's.

CPC told us always put on REST before ejecting end of shift this means no manual entry on start required just remember to put back to work before walkround so a good 10mins+ is shown before moving off... This seems to have changed a little now, they want a manual entry on start and to add 10mins to end of previous shift to show working for final admin..This is done for our overseers really cuss I park up let forks unload whilst I hand in paperwork wash hands then return to truck park it up log out, back to office 30secs hang up keys bugger off home. Hate manual entry 1 wrong press and darn thing goes crazy or drives you crazy trying to get back on track.

I'm new to a digital tacho. Do I need a print out at the end of every day? Cheers

I am a new driver and I'm having problems. If someone can assist I'd be very grateful.

So I done a shift and the shift was 4hrs and 20 mins. I've now taken my card out and not worked for the next 9 full 24 hour days.

Ive gone to a new shift more than a week later and when I've put in my tacho card it tells me I've already done 4hrs and 20 mins and had a 15 min break on my previous shift so now it tells me after 10 mins of driving I have to take a 30 min break! Keeping in mind I've had 9 full 24hr days off.

I'm so confused and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. This has happened to me on 2 occasions where I've had atleast 3 days in between shifts but it does not reset.

Someome please help.
