Log Books
Gentlemen
Can anybody tell me if there has been any changes to the rules concerning log books? Ive been told that you fill out your log book, when driving a bus with TV plates,even within a radius of 100 klms as against the old way of outside the radius of 100 klms.Sorry for not saying earlier but i am talking about NSW.

It used to be related to the type of tachograph fitted.
If the bus/coach uses 7 day card tachos, shared by all drivers, you used to have to fill out a log book. If you used a driver specific daily tacho card, you didn't.
I never used an electronic log type recorder, but I think they were treated as driver specific if you could key in an employee number.

The NTC is currently is considering driving hours options along with fatigue management guidelines.
There is considerable debate.
Take a look at the busnews website (http://www.busnews.com.au) (ABC) and it gives you the latest.
Public comments have been invited by Sept 11.
Also look at the NTC website. Another good source of info are the inside pages of your logbook.

I have been told if driving a bus with tv plates we must use log books,even within 100klms.It may pay for others to at least check it out.(some members of our rta are pretty snappy at times)I would not like to see anybody get booked.

THis was purely an MoT requirement, not RTA.
The company I worked for used daily tacho cards, and we did not have to use log books inside the 100km radius once we got our tachographs converted. THis procedure was confirmed by the MoT at the time, and there have never been any issues with it in over 10 years..
What does the owner of the bus tell you to do??

There are some narks in the RTA, but with all the b**t they must get from some truckies I am not really surprised.
One had a go at me a few years ago because I wrote "Sydney" as the location for a rest break. Told me I had to be more specific, use a suburb name, etc. He wouldnt understand that I was very specific, because my bus was parked in Market St at the time!!
