1. Efficient Driver Scheduling and Job Assignment
Easily schedule drivers and assign jobs with a user-friendly interface. Assign tasks such as transporting plant equipment or managing multi-trailer configurations with just a few clicks. The app ensures drivers always have updated schedules and job details at their fingertips.
2. Fit-for-Work Checklists
Safety is non-negotiable in the transportation industry. Drivers can complete digital Fit-for-Work checklists directly in the app before starting a shift. This ensures compliance with safety regulations and helps prevent incidents caused by fatigue or other risks.
3. Daily Maintenance and Fault Reporting
The app simplifies daily vehicle checks, enabling drivers to report maintenance issues or faults as they occur. By capturing this data in real-time, fleet managers can address problems proactively, minimizing downtime and ensuring vehicles remain in optimal condition.
4. Load and Dimension Checklist with Photo Capture
Hauling oversized or heavy loads requires precision and compliance with strict transport regulations. Drivers can complete load and dimension checklists in the app and upload photos for verification. This feature ensures documentation of the load’s condition, compliance, and safety checks for every job.

The app supports scheduling and managing combinations of trailers and dollies, allowing your team to efficiently handle complex transport configurations required for mining equipment mobilization.
