Operational approach
Driver status should be collected proportionately and lawfully. It must not become a substitute for proper planning or pressure drivers to continue when rest is required.
During beta, confirm which TruckerMate functions are enabled for the user, fleet or agency before incorporating them into a live process.
Use one authoritative record
Define which system controls the assignment, vehicle, route, driver, message or compliance record. Avoid parallel spreadsheets and personal-message chains that conflict with the primary record.
