What Is NHVR Compliance?

NHVR compliance is meeting all regulatory requirements under the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator, including fatigue management, Chain of Responsibility, mass and loading, vehicle standards, driver licensing, and other obligations under the Heavy Vehicle National Law that applies to heavy vehicle operations across Australian jurisdictions.

NHVR compliance requires operators to implement appropriate policies and procedures, use approved systems and processes (such as NHVR-approved work diaries), maintain accurate records, monitor compliance performance, and demonstrate they have taken reasonable steps to prevent violations and manage operational risks.

Logmaster covers the fatigue side of NHVR compliance: an approved electronic work diary for drivers and live visibility for the office.

Compliance That Starts in the Cab

Logmaster makes NHVR compliance easier for drivers by doing the counting, sending reminders and replacing paper forms with a few taps.
Minute-by-minute logging icon

Exact times, no rounding

Compliance records are only as good as their times. Logmaster records each entry to the minute rather than the nearest quarter hour.
Less paperwork icon

No more paper to chase

Guided screens take the place of handwritten pages and messy corrections. Weekly log sheets reach the office on their own, so compliance records aren't sitting in a glovebox.
Fatigue breach alert icon

Warnings while there's time

Break reminders and low-hours alerts give you time to act before a breach is recorded. Fewer breaches means fewer penalties for you and your operator.
Offline mode icon

Built for remote routes

Remote routes don't have to leave gaps in the compliance record. Logmaster records offline, stores entries on the device and syncs them automatically once you're back in range.
Drivers icon

Easy for every driver

Drivers keep their side of compliance with a few taps a shift, whatever size operation they work for.

What the Office Gets

Logmaster turns everyday driver activity into evidence you can use, from live monitoring to exports for audits and reviews.

Live compliance status

The web portal lists potential breaches first, giving you the chance to prevent them rather than report them.

Evidence in one place

Diary records, pre-start checks and fitness declarations are held together in one secure system. When you need to show what happened, the evidence is already organised.

Fewer surprises

Issues are flagged on the day, so a follow-up can be recorded before it turns into an audit finding.

Rosters that respect limits

Realistic schedules are one of the reasonable steps operators take. Live hours data helps you set them around the time drivers really have.

Less time training

With clear screens and few steps, drivers get comfortable on the app quickly, which keeps training short.

Own devices or supplied tablets

Run Logmaster on the phones drivers already have, or ask for tablets with truck mounts if a fixed in-cab setup suits your fleet better.

Getting Your Fleet Started

Drivers and the office each have a short list of steps.
Step 1

Checks and declarations

Each shift opens with a pre-start check and fitness declaration in the app, giving the office a record of fitness for duty.

Every work and rest change is logged when it happens and checked against the driver's rule set.
Step 4

Automatic syncing

Data syncs automatically, so the compliance team always has the newest entries.

Compliance portal

Compliance staff review alerts and records for the whole fleet in one place, as entries land.

Create reports for internal reviews, audits or a request from the regulator.

Why Logmaster

Logmaster was built with the people who carry compliance duties every day: drivers, record keepers, schedulers and business owners. It focuses on the fatigue side of NHVR compliance, with accurate diary records, simple screens for drivers and alerts that let the office act before a breach. More than 10,000 drivers use it, at fleets including PFD Food Services, Cleanaway and Greyhound Australia. For an operator, that means a clear view of fatigue risk and records that stand up at audit. As the HVNL changes, Logmaster changes with it, guided by industry feedback.

What Operators Tell Us

Ray A.

First day with Logmaster was to my surprise was user friendly. Josh was very thorough in taking me through all the steps in setting up the Logmaster app. I would recommend Logmaster to all drivers regardless of age. Never have to worry about making a mistake as it tells you if you are. Great customer service after hours support is second to none.

Mike H.

Have started using Logmaster after trying 3 other models. I actually enjoy using it. Very easy to use and follow and the help if you need it is top notch by the developer. Does everything by the minute and works when no service is available. My system is customised for me and fits well with my system (I’m WA). Cost is on par with two of the other ones looked at.
