Case Study 120

Jason collects empty pallets on a flatbed lorry and returns them to the factory for repair. He works a four on four off shift and has long days, consisting of around 13 hours of work each day.

He is 44 years of age today and has been driving on a commercial basis for one year.

Jason starts his shift at 07:00 am. He spends 30 minutes carrying out his daily vehicle checks and is on the road to his first destination by 07:30 am.

The lorry has a maximum payload of nearly 14,000kg, but Jason rarely meets that limit.
