The problem
A tired driver at 2am has to ring the same dispatcher who planned the run, and many just keep going. Concerns about pressure to drive longer are never written down, and the compliance manager hears about them weeks later, if at all.
How it works
- Answers by phone, text or chat at any hour
- Records who, where, which run and what happened, and gives a reference
- Tells the on-duty dispatcher at once so the load can be re-planned
- Reminds the driver that stopping for fatigue is never disciplined
- Sends reports of pressure to drive longer privately to the compliance manager for a call within one working day
- Never works out hours or explains the law; points to the work diary and passes rules questions to compliance
What it connects to
- Dean (driver)Jess, I'm just past Warwick on the Sydney run and I'm cooked. I need to stop.
- AgentThanks for telling me, Dean. Stopping is the right call, and nobody is ever in trouble for it. Can you get safely to a rest area? Tenterfield is the next one on your run.
- Dean (driver)I'll pull into the bay at Warwick, it's right here. The Sydney drop is booked for 6am though.
- AgentThat's fine. I've told Ravi in dispatch now so he can move the delivery time with the customer. Your reference is FR-0284. Ravi will text you a new plan within 20 minutes.
- Dean (driver)Cheers. Do I have to do a full 7 hours now?
- AgentI can't tell you what the rest rules require, but your work diary will show your hours, and I've asked Leanne Cho in compliance to call you in the morning to go through it. Get some sleep.
