Question 1

I don't know what compliance documents I actually need. Where do I start?

Accepted Answer

This is the most common challenge for Transport Owners and Directors. Our toolkit provides a complete roadmap based on your operation type - whether you're running light vehicles, heavy vehicles, or fatigue-regulated work. The TOT Document Register categorises everything by compliance area (CoR, Fatigue, NHVAS, etc.) so you know exactly what you need. Start with the 9.3 Operations Manual for an overview, then work through each category relevant to your operation.

Question 2

My big customer just flagged issues in a CoR audit. I have 30 days to close out CARs. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely - this is exactly why we built this toolkit. We've seen too many operators left scrambling when major retail customers flag audit issues with tight deadlines. Our documents are audit-ready and designed to demonstrate 'reasonably practicable' steps. Email Herby directly with your CAR list and we'll point you to the exact documents you need. Most operators can close out CARs within 2-3 weeks using our templates.

Question 3

What format are the documents in? Can I customise them for my business?

Accepted Answer

All documents are provided in Microsoft Word (.docx) format so you can easily add your company logo, ABN, and customise policies to match your specific operations. We've designed them to be practical and usable - not just compliance theatre. Simply replace the placeholder text with your details and you're ready to go.

Question 4

How often are the documents updated for regulatory changes?

Accepted Answer

We continuously monitor changes to the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), Work Health and Safety regulations, NHVAS requirements, and industry codes. When significant changes occur, we update the relevant documents and notify subscribers. Our goal is to keep you ahead of compliance requirements, not scrambling to catch up.

Question 5

I'm a small operator with just a few trucks. Is this overkill for my business?

Accepted Answer

Not at all - in fact, small operators often face the biggest compliance burden relative to their resources. You don't have a dedicated safety manager or compliance team. Our toolkit gives you enterprise-level documentation at a fraction of the cost of hiring consultants. Start with the essentials (Driver Manual, Pre-Trip Checklist, Fatigue Policy) and expand as your business grows.

Question 6

What support do I get if I have questions about implementing the documents?

Accepted Answer

Direct email access to Herby Green is included with your package. No call centres, no ticket systems - just practical advice from someone who understands the Australian transport industry. Ask about specific compliance scenarios, how to handle audits, or which documents apply to your situation. We respond quickly because we know compliance issues don't wait.
