What is wrong with the apps? I have been using co pilot and it is just fine, cost is £86 per year which I feel is quite expensive for an app. Been experimenting with Road Lords which is free and it is OK although Copilot is better.
Thanks for this video, I've had my class 1 license for a year but was never shown how to do this during my driver training with the school same with load securing other than the quick 5 minute test for my CPC. Only ever got a brief show how to use a tacho 8 odd months ago during work experience. Been finding it hard to actually get a job because of my lack of experience, companies don't want to touch me because of insurance costs and I'm too big of a risk to them and agencies just expect me to go and do work knowing everything without proper training or mentoring. Thanks again though for getting straight to the point with it all and showing us newbies.
Hi Kevin be careful when publishing how to videos on digital tachos you give correct information. When using the latest Gen 2 Tachos, daily rest is denoted by the symbol’?’, not the bed symbol. That’s the previous old tachos, not the latest. Just a heads up, it’s good you’re trying to get drivers to do the manual entries.
Fantastic informative video. Im only used to the old paper tachos years ago. I do have a digicard but my CPC ran out before I could use it, and ended up doing something a bit different for a while until I could decide what to do. Probably go back in the industry, I miss the bigger vehicles. Cheers for uploading this.
I've recently passed my class 1 all I need to do now is my mod4 CPC and send off for my tacho, This video has helped me out loads giving me ideas how the trucking life is going to be like.
I bought the same tomtom sat nav as you, and I have owned it a year now. I have a minor grumble and a major grumble. 1st grumble. It's slow, I was surprised how slow the menu system is. It's really frustrating clicking a button and waiting for the next menu option. 2nd Major grumble. It consistantly losing traffic info connection. It immediately had bluetooth connection issues with my Note 9 phone. So I upgraded to a Samsung Ultra 23, and blue tooth connection to Tomtom traffic services worked for a while then stopped..... I then used mobile hotspot wifi on my phone to connect to tomtom, this worked well for months, then last week it stopped working, zero traffic data. Even when connected to my home wifi which should work regardless. Still no joy. In desperation I reset the device and had to restart the entire thing as if it was a new unit. I have literally just done this before I wrote this. It appears to have brought back my traffic data but I have yet to test it out on the road. My advice is, when you do updates that you will be asked to do. check your traffic is working immediately after update. This may be the problem. When its fully working, I am happy with the way it works, always check your routes, especially bridge heights, it has tried to send me under a low bridge even though my vehicle height was set higher. PS I also have on phone road lords and TomTom Go as back up (this app is odd and cant say Birmingham...)
Most architects and designers haven’t got a clue about how to design a turning area for HGV trucks especially Tesco etc etc etc.😮😮😮and this yard isn’t suitable for a class 1 …a rigid would be far more suitable class 2 (c)❤✅✅✅🚛
