Routes run daily whether the truck is right or not, and a breakdown mid-run means bins left out and phones ringing. The fix is catching the defect at the depot gate, before the truck leaves, and having the workshop already booked when it comes back.
Drivers run the prestart on their phone at the start of the shift. A failed item raises a fault report with photos on the spot, it is emailed as it happens, and in Gearbox it is prioritised and turned into a work order, so the repair is scheduled while the truck is still on its round.
Compactors earn services in hours and kilometres at the same time. Gearbox alerts on whichever comes first, with the lead time you choose, and the service calendar lets the workshop drag jobs into the gaps between runs instead of pulling a truck off a route.
Every truck carries one traffic light across registration, services, faults, repairs and inspections. The morning snapshot email shows what needs attention before the first truck rolls, and the compliance dashboard holds the inspections and permits behind it.
One question at a time on the driver's phone, with a failed critical question standing the truck down on the spot.
The driver picks the reason, attaches photos and flags repeat issues, so the workshop knows what it is walking into.
Set reminders against any component or date, from hoist inspections to tail lift servicing, all feeding the truck's status.
Tyre work orders are tracked separately, so tyre spend lands accurately against each truck.
Drivers log in with their mobile number, so putting the app in a new starter's hands is part of adding them to the register.
Prestarts, services and repairs are dated, attributed and stored as they happen, ready for the contract review.

If something breaks on the round, the driver does not rerun the whole checklist. The Faults button raises a report on its own, with type, reason, notes and a photo, and it emails the nominated people on save.
