Facts
The defendant company was investigated as a result of a tip off through the Heavy Vehicle Confidential Reporting Line. The investigation revealed that the two main drivers for the company had committed a number of fatigue management offences driving between Wagga Wagga and Brisbane. The company breached its duty in the chain of responsibility as it failed to schedule trips in a way that enabled the drivers to comply with the HVNL. The company was fined and has since changed their practices, which allows its drivers to rest adequately during travel periods.
As reported by NHVR.
