HETF replaces the paper a heavy equipment contractor fills out at the end of every shift on a wildfire assignment. Fill out the Emergency Equipment Daily Shift Invoice on the phone, collect both signatures on the screen β€” the contractor's and the government inspector's β€” and email the finished PDF to the incident's Finance section before you leave. No more carbon copies, no more waiting until you are back in cell range with a scanner. WHAT IT FILES β€’ Emergency Equipment Daily Shift Invoice β€” the daily, dual-signed money form β€’ After-Dispatch Roster (Exhibit J) β€” your equipment and crew as dispatched β€’ Single Resource Shift Ticket (OF-297) β€” for a resource working on its own BUILT FOR THE PAPER, NOT AROUND IT Every form prints exactly like the printed original, in the same fixed rows and the same order, so a Finance clerk reads it the way they always have. The generic pre-printed equipment type is what prints β€” a Feller Buncher prints as a Feller Buncher, whatever you call your machine. FILL IT ONCE Your Company Profile β€” business details, equipment, operators, VIPR agreement number β€” fills in the top of every form. Set up a Task Force for a dispatch and every shift filed against it starts pre-filled with the incident, the agreement number and the resource order. THE REST OF THE SHIFT β€’ Photograph receipts for reimbursable expenses as you go β€’ Keep inspection reports, licences and agreements where you can reach them β€’ Re-send any form you have already filed, to a new address or the same one β€’ Add a dated note to a document after it has gone out β€” it becomes a new version, printed after the signatures, and the original stays exactly as it was signed β€’ Invite a foreman so more than one person can file for the company WORKS WHERE THE WORK IS A signed invoice is never lost to a dead bar of signal. It is held on the phone and sent as soon as there is a connection, so you can close out a shift at the fire and let it deliver on the way down the hill. Sign in with Face ID. Everything is stored against your company account, so a new phone signs in and has your equipment, your crew and your history. HETF is for contractors working under a federal Emergency Equipment Rental Agreement. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a product of the USDA Forest Service or any government agency.
