• Record delivery schedules and related information accurately in the company system, in line with NHVR and compliance obligations.
• Work closely with drivers, customers and transport subcontractors to keep communication clear and delivery updates timely.
• Support depot activities such as trip processing, dispatch assistance and general administrative tasks.
• Keep track of fuel tank levels remotely across service sites to help maintain ongoing supply.
• Help ensure customer service expectations are met through efficient planning and quick response times.
• Arrange truck servicing and maintenance appointments to reduce vehicle downtime.
• Prepare driver rosters and timesheets while meeting fatigue management and work-hour rules.
• Provide practical support across depot operations whenever needed.
