An Electronic Logbook for Owner Drivers and Contractors
When you own the truck and juggle several clients, your logbook has to follow you, not the company you're working for that week.
Logmaster is an NHVR approved electronic work diary that runs on your own phone and sends your logs to each client you work for.
Owner drivers and subcontractors often run for two or three operators in the same fortnight. Each one wants to see your hours, but the limits apply to your total work, not to each job.
Keeping that straight in one paper booklet, while also chasing your own licence and rego renewals, eats into time you'd rather spend driving.
Logmaster: Your Logbook, on Your Phone
Logmaster is an NHVR approved EWD that's approved as device agnostic, so it runs on the Android or Apple phone you already own. Your diary goes with you from client to client.
Your hours are counted across every job in one place. You can schedule your log to be emailed to each employer or client, so everyone who needs it gets it.
The app doesn't track your movement, and your data isn't shared without your permission.
Multi-company drivers keep a single diary and send it to every business they work for.
Your Own Device
Run it on an Android 7+ or iOS 12.5.5+ phone, with no hardware to buy from the client.
Your Data Stays Yours
GPS is used only when you make an entry, and nothing is shared without your say-so.
Renewals Flagged
Alerts warn you before your licence, registration or medical runs out.
Pre‑Starts in the App
Vehicle checks and fitness declarations are done on the phone and exported as PDFs when a client asks.
Signal or Not
Recording carries on in dead spots and catches up when you're back in range.
Who It Suits
Heavy Vehicle Drivers
Owner drivers and contractors keep one logbook across every client, see their hours left and stop doing sums in the cab.
Fleet Managers and Record Keepers
Operators who hire contractors receive each contractor's logs by email or in the portal, without chasing carbon copies.
Transport Business Owners
Prime contractors get clear records for subcontracted work, which helps show the reasonable steps Chain of Responsibility expects.
Used by Owner Drivers and Big Fleets Alike
Logmaster's 10,000+ drivers range from single-truck owner drivers to fleets such as PFD Food Services.
The EWD carries NHVR approval, and the company behind it holds ISO 27001 certification.

Yes. Logmaster supports multi-company drivers, so you keep one diary and schedule your log to be emailed to each employer or client. That matters because your work and rest limits apply to your total work, not to each job separately.
No. Logmaster captures location only when you make a work or rest entry and doesn't follow you between entries. Your data isn't shared without your permission.
No. Logmaster is approved as device agnostic and runs on Android 7+ and iOS 12.5.5+ phones and tablets. If you'd like a dedicated tablet and truck mount, Logmaster can supply them.
No. An EWD is optional and the written National Driver Work Diary remains legal. Some clients prefer contractors on an EWD because the logs arrive without anyone handling paper.
Yes. Logmaster sends expiry alerts for licences, registrations and driver documents such as medicals, training and inductions, so renewals don't sneak up on you.
