Simplified way of doing a Manual Entry on a Tachograph machine. Hope it helps someone out there :) Business Email: GLADeady@Yahoo.com Instagram: Deady2012
I’m new to the HGV industry and never really got shown how to do manual entries which is something the company I work for ask me to do. Thanks to your video I can now comfortably do manual entries. So many thanks Deady! Keep up the brill vids 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you manual entry was the only subject i wasn't quite sure about. I watched and listened you explained it clearly this has been a great help now i have a fleet of 100 + drivers watching you.
I'm a few months into my first job after passing. I'd always been put off using manual entry by my supervisors as they said it was a minefield. This has shown me just how simple it is. Tried it for the first time today without issue. Cheers mate. Much appreciated.
Thank you for this video. I've checked out dozens of videos on this particular topic and yours was the most explanatory. You've been a great help. Stay safe and well. Andy.
Quite well explained there my good man. All the general knowledge of tachos in one fell swoop 👍🏻. On a different subject, just had my first day back driving on the trucks again after nearly four months of being furloughed!!!!!
Cheers Deady that is the best and easiest description of how to make a manual entry, brilliant ! Keep on trucking and ring when tipped ! Regards Tony H.
Come back to driving after 15 year break. Watched many videos and other drivers at work but couldn't get my head round it. Perfectly explained and in simple terms that even a lory driva could understand 🤣🤣🤣👍
Brilliant explanation man. I’m amazed at how many experienced drivers don’t know how to do it. Two years in I asked two experienced drivers and they didn’t know. It’s something that doesn’t appear to be taught.
thank you very much, you won't believe the videos I've watched. your video is the 1st that I've understood. just by simply putting your finger over the bottom line. it might seem daft but when you've had drivers explaining and still finding it difficult.
Great Tips Deady. 100% correct about agency work, I've got to the yard before and waited for a truck to come back. As you say your work time starts the moment you arrive at the yard.
Nice one mate. The other thing if you just show as jumping in and driving off would ask them to question if you'd actually done your walk around check. Yeah, you might have a bit of paper with ticks on it but they could and probably would say, " well, when did you do that" i Once they start seeing things like that they'll dig further. Absolutely the correct thing to keep accurate records. Spot on . Ive been a TM for 15 years, never been on the wrong side of DVSA or the OTC, but it's proper unpleasant when they come knock on the door
Thank you mate, ive been driving for donkeys years, and normally its us old timers giving you young lads stick, you should have done this you should be doing that etc etc. well ive tried allsorts to get my head round how to do manual entries and i havent been able to do them, i always balls them up and the knock on is it effects driving hours and so on. This is the first video ive seen that makes it clear how to do them. so from an old know all, thanks again mate, much appreciated. Drive safe buddy
Your one of the only videos I've seen that explains it in simple terms ,never used tacho and waiting to take test and get working so still learning and taking it all in 😅
Nice one Deady,simple straight forward no noncence information, cheers matey. As you said Gareth,always keep a record of all that you have done,that way there can be no mistakes.all the best to you & the family as always, Stay safe & keep on truckin'.
I saw this video 6 weeks ago during my assessment and i memorised it but I didn’t start work till 6 weeks later during which I had forgotten how to do manual entry but because of this video I was always calm that I don’t need to worry
Best explanation I’m likely to see so will stick to this video. Will be doing some agency work shortly and one of the companies who I will be driving for pay you the hours recorded on your driver card so it’s important to do manual entries if you want to get paid properly, thanks, Chris.
Got my class 2 few months ago mate couldn’t find any work full time or agencies waste of time and money all wanted 12 months experience I’m driving a sprinter van now with a tacho 40 hours a weeks same time start finish easy day cheers brother 😃
Brilliant mukka , your explanation of manual entry's has helped me out alot , I'm only 7.5 and only got out from time to time so remembering how to do a manual entry was very difficult. But with your video I'm spot on so cheers fella👍🏻
Just done the first of my CPC renewal modules and the tutor told us to look on YT to find out how to do a manual entry rather than tell us himself! Glad he did in the end as your explanation was crystal clear - well done!
Great video mate on manual entries. Just getting back into the industry. Ive saved this one for future reference and sub'd your channel. Steve in Fife.
Great explanation pal.I very rarely do manual entries I just stick da card in when I start and take it out when I finish obviously changing da mode to other work or break
Evening Deady. Well put and yes your right record all your time at work 👍🏻 Do some as it’s always useful for new and old drivers 😊 Keep safe buddy 👍🏻 Cheers Stevie 😎
I had the same experience at fresh direct at Christmas, got in at 3am and didn’t leave the yard till 6:50am took the absolute mik!! Lesson learned that day I tell ya. Stay safe bro 👊🏻
Top vlog again Deady thank you for taking the time to show us these aspects of the job buddy hope you're all keeping safe and well Gareth take care bud until the next vlog bud
@@Deady2012 I'm fine thanks Deady and the family are all fine too thanks I'm looking forward to Friday's episode already stay safe and well until then Deady
Excellent simple video mate. If you're paid by the hour, these 20 minutes here and there soon add up over the week. Vosa like to see a manual entry, shows you know what you are doing 👍
Good Manual entry Vlog. I use it all the time.Like you say it backs your hours up and plus Vosa prefer it. Some firms want you doing Manual entry. Fairplay pal Great vlog
Top vid Deady! Very helpful,thank you. As I start the first agency job tomorrow morning, may just do a manual entry now! I’m hoping the truck isn’t too old!
@@Deady2012 thanks for that! That must be the reason why i didn;t know what I was doing yesterday, just seen this comment now! It was a brand new Scania - very nice indeed! I think I forgot to take the tacho off break after my 45! Loved the 1st day even though it was raining heavily :-)
Will come in handy when I can finally get my class one done.cheers covid 19 for putting that on hold currently identify as a road sweeper so exempt from taco 👍love the vlogs
I remember when digicards came in we were told you just put it it does the rest job done..... Pfffft more bloody messing about and paperwork than ever. Glad after 40 years on the road I'm a couple of years off retirement. I wont miss it now.
Haha I shouldn laugh but this video alone explains "Bob on" why my boss is pulling his hair out with my infringements not knowing what I'm doing wrong with the drivers ball n' chain lol. Ye vids get better and better mate. Iv held my license since you did yours but youv really flown you deserve it,keep it going Deady
its only been 3 years since i was filling paper tacho cards out ,, and ive still got a unused log book somewhere from the good old days ,, no power steering no radio no air con in fact no heater unless it was summer ,,, ahh the good old days
It's now a legal requirement to fill in the gaps. I do part time and have a VDO simulator on my laptop but it is the old version. I practiced on that before starting a 3am shift and found the VDO in the truck gave me different displays. I managed to give myself a POA for around three days!!! Thanks for the guide I think I've got it now. Without guidance it is not an intuitive display on the VDO.
Hi only passed my test in January then Covid stop any work so I’m still trying to get my head around a Tacho Thanks for the demo Sort of making more sense 🤔
It's a bloody nightmare, started my first job this week and still can't get my head round it. I do think they should teach you how to use them when your learning to drive the Hgv good luck.
I got into the habit of writing down all my driving hours in a small diary, start time finish time, last 45 finished, drive time and rest. Do this every day, dont have to but if I go over my hours and then get stopped by mr Vosa I can demonstrate I try my hardest to keep on top of my hours. Simple but very effective. I even have my old diarys in the cab. I know people take print outs and keep them but to do that every day it soon adds up in tacho rolls.
It does mate! I never do print outs unless i've done an infringement, my latest was forgetting to put tacho on break, leaving card in and gone home haha! Had an 18 working day lol!
@@Deady2012 used to leave the card in overnight all the time haha. I have the Siemens tacho I think it is, the one that counts down the time. Still manage.to run close to my time. How far are you from Buxton area?? I am down there all the time and I see plenty of bulkers, Lomas etc, really want to see you doing 1,2 loads a day in a cracking truck. Stay safe mate.
@@Nick-7432 I applied to a place in Buxton last week, Robert Slater or something like i think, they advertised on Facebook but didn't get back to me unfortunately. Don't know why haha! Bored to tears now i have to admit lol!
Hi Deady, thanks so much for this really clear explanation. One question ... if you are entering the 3.5T van as 'other work' and a start and end time, does that get you in breach of the WTD rules? ie do you have to register a 15 min break before the 6 hour point? Thanks James
I wish I saw this video when I started, made it sound so easy and I've been screwing my card up by doing manual entries wrong so much recently. Got a bag full of manual printouts now 🙄
Don't mention them two words in my company please. FRESH DIRECT. Did 3y with um. 2012 _ 15 learned a lot. And put some graft in job n finish everyone was trying to get away from the place . Still got me nackerd sack trucks I had to buy. For going up and down stairs. But couldn't wait get me class 1. From Red Rose . Then got the hell out of there and took a few lads with me. Terrible place. As for tacho. Why does it ask u for Auto. From me leaving base to getting back wom it knows everything I've done . In fact . too much .big brother is watching u. Good vid though lad. Wigin Mon.
Great video buddy quick question .If you are waiting to load work so put it on break ? Will that break be than counted as my break of 45 mins which is what I get daily . Diss that mean I can only get 35 mins break or can I still get a whole 45 mins break as that 10 min I was waiting for work ?
If anyone ever sees DRIVING WITHOUT CARD 28 on their Tacho, it's there cos someone's driven the lorry without a card. Chances are it's the shunter who's moved the lorry round in the yard as he doesn't need a card for shunting in the yard. Simply press OK prior to putting your card in, will resolve the issue.
I have followed all your video's and I am sure that they will have helped many a potential new driver to the industry. Nice step by step of manual entries, very clear and helpful. So glad you made the point of recording all your duty hours to comply with the law. The only point you might reconsider (IMHO) is the use of POA, a waiting time that the driver knows about before it starts, i.e the shovel driver is just finishing a brew - he will be with you in 10 minutes, would be POA. POA does not count as duty time for the 6 hour rule, your 48 hours average or your 60 hours maximum working time so can help avoid "running over" the WTD rules, especially when you go back to doing longer hours as a tramper. (most WTD infringements are in the second six hours of a duty) Look forward to the next installment, keep safe and well.
I understand this mate, but POA makes everything really confusing and in 99% of cases, it's unnecessary After being on POA for just say 47 minutes, you now have to have a hand written time to the minute of when you stopped driving because it'll reset your driving hours on tacho but not actually count as a break... it'll pause your working time etc etc. It's far easier to either leave on Other Work for 10-20-30 mins whilst you wait to be tipped or whatever, then put it on break when you actually know what's happening. But every truck driver has their own way of doing things, if you are comfortable with POA then crack on matey.

Quite well explained there my good man. All the general knowledge of tachos in one fell swoop 👍🏻. On a different subject, just had my first day back driving on the trucks again after nearly four months of being furloughed!!!!!

Spot on. As long as I pass my assessment I’ll start my first job soon. This one thing been itching the back of my mind. Cheers lad 👍👍
Brilliant explanation man. I’m amazed at how many experienced drivers don’t know how to do it. Two years in I asked two experienced drivers and they didn’t know. It’s something that doesn’t appear to be taught.
Excellent, we checked this out a while back as we were getting new MAN’s at our base in Nottingham.
Well done Deady

It sure does mate :) Don't let agency scam you off like that.
It's not hard but is daunting if you're not familiar with it.
This is excellent and explains the steps well 👏🏼
Thanks great advice just what i needed to know after a van shift not my usual LGV shift
Thanks for this video deady I was confused when I first started doing the manual entry and this explains it well.

Thank you, only today I understood how to do this...
Excellent video good explanation so simple
Brill, il try and type this up as a reminder
Brilliant. Finnaly got it!
Excellent!
Nice one Deady thanks for good explanation
Happy to help
its only been 3 years since i was filling paper tacho cards out ,, and ive still got a unused log book somewhere from the good old days ,, no power steering no radio no air con in fact no heater unless it was summer ,,, ahh the good old days
Haha! Sod that! To be fair, it sounds like the Volvo i'm driving now haha! Freezing in winter Boiling in summer, 13 speed manual haha!
Good man thanks that really helped.
It's now a legal requirement to fill in the gaps. I do part time and have a VDO simulator on my laptop but it is the old version. I practiced on that before starting a 3am shift and found the VDO in the truck gave me different displays. I managed to give myself a POA for around three days!!! Thanks for the guide I think I've got it now. Without guidance it is not an intuitive display on the VDO.
Very well explained by a clear ex military man like myself ,ps daily checks will always be a first parade
Manual entry for HGV! Oh! I get it now! Thought was something else! ;)
Lol!
Just my opinion and I may be in the minority but these shorter videos are so much better. Hope to see more of them 👍
Doubt i'll be doing many this short, this is just a simple 'How To' kind of thing haha!
Thanks for video mate 👍

I can’t wait for the ‘Full Deady’ of how to use a tacho.
