Driver and Field Exit
Exits where the assets and documents are on the road.
What this coversHideA driver resignation is an asset recovery problem as much as an HR one, and the assets are rarely at head office when the notice arrives.
- Vehicle return location and condition check
- Vehicle documents, permits and keys recovered
- Fuel card and toll tag deactivated immediately
- Handheld device, scanner and phone returned
- Trip advances, expenses and detention claims reconciled
- Route knowledge handed to the replacement or supervisor
- Pending consignments and PODs accounted for
- Licence and endorsement record closed
Deactivating the fuel card and toll tag on the last working day, rather than when somebody notices, is the single most common gap and the easiest to close.
- Notice received
- Vehicle and documents recovered
- Cards deactivated
- Advances reconciled
- Route handed over
The general method — what exit and alumni management covers, the questions it answers and what an engagement produces — is the same whatever the sector, and is set out on the exit and offboarding process page. What is above is the part that differs for logistics and transportation.
