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 👍🏻👍🏻

Why is it all sooo complicated 😂😂too much 2 take in starting me lessons in January can't wait but need 2 get me head around this.. thanks deady 👌

Legend!! Iv been driving lorries for 8 years and never had to do manual entries until now with a new company! Thank you! 👍

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.

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.

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.

Out of all the videos I’ve watched on manual entry, this by far the most understandable. Cheers mate 👍👍👍

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.

This is what KZfaq is all about 🙌🏻🔥🔥 🔥Great Job buddy 👏🏻👏🏻

This was the clearest video I've seen for understanding how to do a manual entry. Thanks mate.

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!!!!!

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 🤣🤣🤣👍

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

It's not hard but is daunting if you're not familiar with it. This is excellent and explains the steps well 👏🏼

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.

Best and most precise video explaining the process of manual entry....Thank you....

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 👍👍

Excellent, we checked this out a while back as we were getting new MAN’s at our base in Nottingham. Well done Deady

Thanks for this video deady I was confused when I first started doing the manual entry and this explains it well.

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.

Brilliant explanation ,i got under a month of driving and i was strugglin with manual entries and also with wtd.Thanks for the video

Perfect, simple explanation - thanks Buddy !!

Past in march my old job didn't bother with these at all started a new job need to do these everyday thanks buddy much appreciated 👍

Thanks great advice just what i needed to know after a van shift not my usual LGV shift

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.

The best explanation. Seriously. Cheers bud for that.

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

Absolutely brill my friend, the key thing is to work backwards until your ready for the off..🤗

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'.

Thank you for the upload. I recently passed my class 2 and CPC. Got a driving assessment this weekend for a potential job and I’m bricking it lol

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 😅

This has been so helpful, many thanks

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.

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

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 😃

Just the info I needed and simply delivered, thank you.

Thanks Deady... I’m learning slowly

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

Very good and simply explain:)))Thank you 😀Good job...

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👍🏻

A true teacher. Many thanks

Great explanation bruv, thanks v much. Good luck to me as new HGV driver, best wishes for you. Cheers

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.

Well done young man, good simple explanation I'm sure it must of helped alot of insure drivers.

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!

Nice one deady big help for newcomers top guide

I was taught its just like filling in a time line Cheers buddy again!!

Cheers pal. I'm confident now on my return to the digicard. Ryan

Nice one mate perfectly explained

Awesome best one yet

Good video, Makes it look simple, which of course it is once you’ve done it a couple of times

Brilliant explanation. Thank you

Excellent video good explanation so simple

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 😎

Good Job Deady, Keep up the excellent work

Thank you so much man. I couldn't find amyone willing to teach me this. You're explanation was methodical and precise. 5⭐ channel

Thanks Deady I finally now understand thanks to this brilliant video

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 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

Thank you, only today I understood how to do this...

Brilliant explanation 😎

Cheers mate, very nice and easy to understand explanation.

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!

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 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 👊🏻

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.

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 👍

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

Brill, il try and type this up as a reminder

Deady plonker!!!! Great video buddy. Never stop!!! #thumbsup

Good man thanks that really helped.

Nice one Deady thanks for good explanation

Well explained, thanks.👍

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 ?

Cheers Deadly. My first day back today after 6 months off so needed a recap of what to do.. Starting at the new massive Evri warehouse in Barnsley. 😱 When are you coming back to driving and blogging again.. 👍🏻

Thanks mate for your help 👍 👋👍💪🚚

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.

Grate vid mate 👌 👍

Thanks for video mate 👍

Thank you this video too very helpful

Brilliant. Finnaly got it!

Really helpful. 🙌🙌🙌

Geographers really staring to confuse me with all the numbers times ect.Thank that explained it a lot cheers.#thumbsup

best in youtube is all

Excellent.

Very well explained by a clear ex military man like myself ,ps daily checks will always be a first parade

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 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

Nice 1 matey never understood the finish shift part of it

Now this is the type of stuff we love!!! Well done that man! Brilliant

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 🤔

Thanks buddy much appreciated

Cheers deady 👍

Just my opinion and I may be in the minority but these shorter videos are so much better. Hope to see more of them 👍

Manual entry for HGV! Oh! I get it now! Thought was something else! ;)

Very well explained I very rarely do manual entries I put my card in at start of shift and take it out when I finish

Is it possible to edit your Start, Breaks, & finishing times for the previous day if you’ve made a mistake using manual entries?

Top vlog again sir , we dont use digi cards on the dustcart has we use drivers book, , have a great week and hope the Air cons working

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.

Excellent video. Thank you. So, say you've been in a small van Monday to Thursday, then Friday you're in the truck, you can't put the previous 4 days start and finish times on the tacho, you can only put the previous day's hours on it, like you did here? Do I get that right?
