FleetPro: Fleet Compliance & Route Optimisation
How GetPost Labs approaches transport compliance. NHVR fatigue management, EWD integration, and route optimisation in one platform.
Executive Summary
The Problem: Transport operators receive NHVR fines because dispatchers can't see driver hours remaining. Routes are assigned based on availability, not compliance. EWD data entry is manual and error-prone.
The Solution: FleetPro shows every driver's remaining hours instantly, alerts before breaches happen, optimises routes for Hours of Service limits, and syncs EWD data automatically.
The Outcome: Operators achieve 100% NHVR compliance while actually increasing delivery capacity through smarter route planning.
The Challenge
Understanding the problem space
"We received $45K in NHVR fines in one quarter. Dispatchers were assigning jobs to drivers who had insufficient hours remaining."
— Owner, Murray Valley Transport, Melbourne
Heavy vehicle fatigue management is regulated by the NHVR under the Heavy Vehicle National Law. Drivers must comply with work and rest hour limits, and operators face significant penalties for breaches — up to $30,000 per offence.
Most operators track compliance manually or through basic EWD systems that don't integrate with dispatch. Dispatchers assign routes without visibility into remaining hours, and compliance issues are discovered at roadside checks — when it's too late.
The Solution
What GetPost Labs would build
Core Capabilities
How Compliance Is Guaranteed
Prevention, not penalty
Compliance moves from reactive (catching breaches) to proactive (preventing them):
Pre-Dispatch Checks
Dispatcher checks spreadsheet of driver hours. Data may be hours old. Assigns route hoping driver has enough hours.
System shows real-time remaining hours. Blocks assignment if route would cause breach. Alternative drivers suggested.
Route Planning
Driver takes familiar route regardless of current hours. Rest stops decided on the road. Fuel stops unplanned.
Route optimised for Hours of Service including mandatory rest stops, fuel stops, and estimated completion time.
Compliance Reporting
Admin staff manually compile EWD records for audits. Takes days to prepare. Gaps discovered during the process.
Click "Generate Compliance Report" — complete EWD history, driver summaries, and breach report (if any) ready instantly.

The business process modelled
Dispatch & Compliance Process
User Journey
Sydney to Melbourne Delivery
Scenario: Urgent freight delivery from Sydney warehouse to Melbourne customer. Driver must comply with NHVR fatigue rules.
Opens FleetPro dashboard. Sees John Smith has 9.5 hours remaining today, fully rested, compliant for long haul
Calculates optimal route: 878km, ETA 6.5 hours. Includes mandatory rest stop at Albury. Fuel stop at Gundagai
Clicks "Assign to John". Route, customer details, and delivery instructions pushed to driver app instantly
John accepts job, starts trip. EWD automatically begins logging. GPS tracking active
Dispatcher sees real-time location. System monitors fatigue — at 5 hours, alerts John to take 30-min rest break
Customer receives SMS: "Your delivery is 45 mins away". Live tracking link included
Delivers goods, captures POD signature on app. EWD auto-logs completion. Invoice generated immediately
Outcome: Delivery completed in 6.5 hours, 100% NHVR compliant. Zero fatigue violations.
