What changes when fatigue stops being something you only check after the fact.

Fatigue checked once a month, if at all

"Are you right to drive?" asked out loud, never recorded

Fatigue plan sitting in a folder nobody opens

No proof of the steps you took

What Is Fatigue Management Software?

Fatigue management software helps transport operators monitor driver hours, check fitness for duty and record the steps they take to stop fatigued drivers getting behind the wheel.

Driver Inputs

EWD hours and fit-to-drive checks.

Vehicle Inputs

Fatigue alerts from in-cab cameras

ManageVehicle

Brings the risk signals together.

Action & Records

Alerts, follow-up and audit-ready history.

Product experience

From the start of the shift to a closed-out fatigue event

Start every shift with a fit-to-drive check

A quick check for drivers, a clear record for you.

Drivers confirm they're fit to drive in the app before they start. The amended HVNL widened the unfit-to-drive duty to cover illness, injury, medication, alcohol and drugs as well as fatigue, so recording this matters.

Fit to drive Checks

What your team can do:

Fit-to-drive declarations

Custom questions per fleet

Flag drivers who aren't fit

Stop Asking - Is He Too Tired to Drive?

The fatigue questions that keep fleet managers up at night, answered with records instead of guesses.

Did everyone do a fit-to-drive check today?

Check today's declarations.

Who's closest to their hours limit?

Fatigue records that show the reasonable steps you took

The fatigue duty penalty under the amended HVNL is now up to $26,610, and the unfit-to-drive duty covers all heavy vehicles over 4.5 t GVM. Our guide to fatigue breaches and work rest penalties explains what's at stake.

Fit-to-drive on record

Every declaration stored with the driver and time.

Follow-up you can show

Each fatigue event linked to the action taken.

Works with your EWD

MV Driver, our NHVR-approved EWD, feeds work and rest records straight in.

Connected fatigue & fleet operations

Fatigue risk shows up in hours, driving behaviour and the road itself. Bringing those signals together gives you the full picture.

Used in Real Transport Operations Every Day

Real operators, real problems, and what changed once everything sat in one system.

Brandon Manion Coaches
Problem

Maintenance across the bus fleet was difficult to track, with information spread across driver checks and maintenance records.

Result

Drivers complete daily inspections, record odometer readings and report faults directly in Manage Vehicle. The maintenance team has clear, up-to-date visibility of what needs attention. Better maintenance visibility. Fewer missed issues. A fleet that stays on top of its maintenance.

G & V Logistics
Problem

Limited visibility of where loads are while in transit, and difficulty quickly accessing evidence when an incident occurs.

Result

With telematics, G & V Logistics can see where their loads are in real time and share location details with clients immediately. In the event of an incident, they can quickly access and share relevant footage with insurers or other parties.

Alpine Civil Earthmoving
Problem

Limited visibility of how equipment is being used on site, making it difficult to track operating hours and actual equipment utilisation.

Result

Telematics gives Alpine Civil clear visibility of where equipment is and how long it has been operating on site. This helps them monitor utilisation, track equipment activity and better understand how their machines are being used. Better equipment visibility. Better utilisation tracking. More control over site operations.

Veera Transport
Problem

Jobs, PODs and invoicing were previously managed in batches, with the team waiting until the end of the week to collect everything and process invoices.

Result

Jobs are now allocated, driver approval is captured, PODs are recorded, and invoices are sent to the client within 15 minutes of job completion. Faster invoicing. Faster payments. Better cash flow.
