Professional drivers

Shifts, runs, checks and hours — for the people whose office is a vehicle.

Driving for a living means a second job in paperwork: the check before you move, the drops you made, the hours you were at the wheel and the fares you took. These are for that. They print no hours limits, no rest rules and no fare rates, because those are set by the rules where you drive and the operator you drive for, and they change.

Sheets in Professional drivers

Abnormal Load and Route Plan

Put the whole movement on one page before it starts, so the bridge that will not take the height is found at the desk and not at the bridge.

PD-01 2 pages

Courier Delivery Run Sheet

Keep a paper record of the round that survives a flat handheld, and settle a 'where is my parcel' query from the row it is on.

PD-02 1 page

Driver Daily Hours Log

Account for a day at the wheel in enough detail to answer an operator, a client or an inspector, and see for yourself how close to your limits you are running.

PD-03 1 page

Driver Defect Report Pad

Get a fault from the driver's walk-round to the workshop in writing, with a closed loop showing it was fixed.

PD-04 1 page

Driver Earnings and Commission Sheet

Know what a shift or a week really earned after the operator's cut, and check the operator's or platform's payout against your own count.

PD-05 1 page

Driver Expense and Overnight Claim

Get back what a trip cost you, in one claim with the receipts in order, rather than a shoebox of paper and an argument about the nights.

PD-06 1 page

Driver Licence Check Record

Keep the licence checks for a whole operation on one running register, so a lapsed licence or a new endorsement is caught at the check and not at the roadside.

PD-08 1 page

Driving Instructor Lesson Record

Pick up exactly where the last lesson left off, and keep the money straight with the pupil without a separate ledger.

PD-09 1 page

Failed Delivery and Redelivery Log

Answer 'where is it' with a row instead of a search of the van, and show the depot that a failed drop was the address's doing and not yours.

PD-10 1 page

Driver Fuel Card and Receipt Log

Reconcile a fuel card statement in one sitting instead of hunting for the receipt that matches a line, and see consumption from the odometer readings either side of each fill.

PD-11 1 page

HGV Walk-Around Check Sheet

Do the same walk-around in the same order every day and leave a record of what was found, who it was reported to and what happened next.

PD-12 1 page

Driver Incident and Dashcam Record

Get the clip saved and the facts written down in the first hour, while both still exist, so the insurer and the operator get a clear account rather than a reconstruction.

PD-13 1 page

Instructor Diary and Booking Page

Keep the week's bookings in the car on paper, so a lesson survives a flat phone and the week's takings add up from one page.

PD-14 1 page

Load Securing and Strap Check Sheet

Show, for one load, that the restraints used were the ones specified, were in fit condition and were checked again after the first miles and at each stop.

PD-15 1 page

Parcel Handover and Signature Sheet

Have paper proof of delivery for a whole round when the handheld fails or the customer insists on signing something, in a form that will stand up to a claim.

PD-17 1 page

Private Hire Booking Log

Carry a driver's own record of every pre-booked job that matches the operator's system, so a query weeks later is answered from the page and not from memory.

PD-18 1 page

Pupil Progress and Test Readiness Sheet

Show a pupil where they actually are across the whole course, and give the instructor a written basis for saying the test is, or is not, the right call yet.

PD-19 2 pages

Route and Drop Planning Sheet

Decide the day once, on paper, before the engine starts — and keep the gate codes, closing times and awkward approaches where the next driver can find them.

PD-20 1 page

School Run Transport Register

Give the driver or passenger assistant a record of every child carried on a school run, so a question weeks later about who got off where has an answer.

PD-21 1 page

Tachograph Chart and Download Record

Keep your own record of what tachograph paperwork you produced and when it left your hands, so a missing chart or a late download is not your word against the office.

PD-22 1 page

Taxi Shift and Fare Sheet

Know at the end of a shift exactly what you took, how it was paid and what is owed to the operator, instead of working it back from a pocket of receipts.

PD-23 1 page

Taxi Vehicle Daily Check

Start each shift knowing the vehicle is fit to carry a paying passenger and carries what a licensing officer would expect to find, with the check written down.

PD-24 1 page

Vehicle Handover Between Drivers

Put a name and a time against the state of a shared vehicle, so a dent, an empty tank or a missing sack truck is settled at handover rather than argued about later.

PD-25 1 page

Wheelchair Passenger Securing Check

Show the restraints were checked and each wheelchair passenger secured and double-checked. Withdrawn equipment, and anything in use during a collision, is logged as well.

PD-29 2 pages

Vehicle Height and Low Bridge Check Record

Know each combination's real height and check it against every low bridge before setting off. The cab notice is updated whenever the trailer, body or load changes.

PD-30 2 pages

Weighbridge and Axle Weight Log

Check every load against the vehicle's own plated weights, axle by axle, before it leaves. Re-weighs after a drop or a load shift go on the same sheet.

PD-31 2 pages

Interstate Mileage and Fuel Trip Sheet

Back up a fuel tax return with the distance run in each state or province and the fuel bought. One sheet per trip, with the receipts stapled behind.

PD-33 2 pages

Tail Lift Daily Pre-Use Check Sheet

Show that the tail lift was looked at every day it was used, not only at its examination. A worn roll stop or a weeping ram is found at the depot, before a cage goes over the edge.

PD-34 1 page

Tipper Pre-Tip Safety Check

Make the same nine checks at every tip point and leave a dated line to show it. The near misses on page two are the ones worth talking about before the next job.

PD-35 2 pages

Lorry Loader Crane Pre-Use Check Sheet

Record the check made before the first lift each day, crane and accessories together. A day ends in a plain safe or not safe, so nobody has to guess from a row of ticks.

PD-36 1 page

Driver Days Away From Home Log

Keep the time, place and business reason for every day on the road as it happens. At month end the full and part days are counted for your tax or expenses claim, at the rate you use.

PD-37 2 pages

Load Restraint Equipment Register

Know what restraint kit you own, what each item is rated for and when it was last checked. Faults and withdrawals sit on page two, so a damaged strap is traced to the day it went out of use.

PD-38 2 pages

Gas Cylinder Vehicle Carriage Check

Record the cylinders on a vehicle each day and that they were carried as your procedure says. The total is checked against the limit you write in, not one printed for you.

PD-39 1 page
