Overview

When the length of a job exceeds the maximum allowable spread of hours within a 24 hour period (see below for calculation), the job will be flagged as a driver managed fatigue job. This is the system’s way of indicating that it doesn’t have enough information to know when the driver is taking breaks, and therefore cannot calculate whether or not they will be compliant with all of the fatigue rules. In these situations, it is up to the driver to ensure they are taking the required breaks and remaining compliant with fatigue regulations.

• Scheduled breaks can be added to jobs to clear the driver managed fatigue status. This allows the fatigue calculations to take into account planned rest breaks when determining if a driver will remain compliant with fatigue regulations.
• Once jobs are completed, the driver managed fatigue status is no longer taken into consideration.
• Allocators will receive warnings when allocating a driver to a job that has the driver managed fatigue status, or if that driver has a job with the driver managed fatigue status within 28 days either side of the job they are allocating.

Single driver jobs

• Single driver jobs become driver managed if the scheduled length exceeds 17 hours. This is because a driver must have a minimum of 7 hours continuous rest in a 24 hour period to remain compliant with both the standard solo and standard bus ruleset.
• If a single driver job has a scheduled length of longer than 17 hours (on a multi day tour for example), the driver will need a scheduled break of at least 7 hours added to that job in each 24 hour period to remain compliant with either standard solo or standard bus fatigue regulations.

Two up jobs

• Two up jobs become driver managed if the scheduled length exceeds 19 hours. This is because drivers on two up jobs must have a minimum of 5 hours continuous rest in a 24 hour period.
• If a two up job has a scheduled length of longer than 19 hours (on a multi day tour for example), each driver will need a scheduled break of at least 5 hours added to that job in each 24 hour period to remain compliant with two up fatigue regulations.

Driver managed fatigue badge

When viewing a job that has the status of driver managed fatigue, a badge will be shown next to the job number as shown below.

Clearing the driver managed fatigue status

The driver managed fatigue status can be cleared by adding scheduled breaks to the job. This gives the system the information it needs to determine whether or not the driver will remain compliant with fatigue regulations.

See Scheduled Breaks here

Driver managed fatigue jobs tile

Jobs within the next seven days that have the status of a driver managed fatigue job will be shown on the tile on the Operations page. Clicking on the tile will take you to the Jobs page with the filter:

• Driver Managed Fatigue = Yes
• Job date range = next seven days

It is recommended that operations staff are adding scheduled breaks to these jobs to remove the status and allowing the fatigue calculations to ensure drivers are compliant with fatigue regulations.

Driver managed fatigue filter

The driver managed fatigue filter can be applied manually by navigating to the Jobs page and clicking the filter icon.

Driver managed fatigue warning

A warning is shown when updates are made to a job which has the driver managed fatigue status, or when the allocated driver has a driver managed job 28 days either side of the job being updated. This alerts the operations staff to be aware that the system is not performing fatigue calculations for this driver and that they may need to review details about this job, or the surrounding jobs to ensure they remain compliant with fatigue regulations.
