Work Diary Mate is the easiest and most intuitive work diary assistant and log book checker there is. It is based on the Australian National Driver Work Diary for Heavy Vehicles so you will know how to use it straight away. It has been designed with the truck drivers’ needs in mind and will take all the effort and guess work out of maintaining your work diary. Simply tap and swipe in the work or rest area on the work diary daily sheet and you will be automatically notified if a breach has occurred. Please Note: This product is a Work Diary assistant, not an Electronic Work Diary (EWD). You still need to fill in your paper work diary if you use this product.
