Tips for sourcing a safe transport operator
Choosing the right transport operator can sometimes be a daunting task. Following we have provided just some tips to help you through the selection process. By using these tips, you will have taken the steps necessary to assure your guests a safe, comfortable, and satisfying travel experience.
How long has the company been operating?
Ask when the company was established and how long it has been offering coach hire & charter. Generally, a long track record is more desirable and indicates that the company understands the rules & regulations of the coach & bus industry. These differ from state to state.
Does the company operate it’s own maintenance facility?
A company may say they have new vehicles and don’t need maintenance facilities. Ask about their provisions for routine maintenance & safety services.
Ask for a copy of the operators Certificate of Insurance?
The company should be willing to supply you with a copy of their Public Liability Insurance. The certificate will show the cover of insurance as well as the effective policy dates.
Does the company operate within the law?
Ensure that the company’s vehicles are properly licensed and registered with commercial license plates.
How many vehicles do they have in the fleet?
The overall fleet size is important as this gauges the operators ability to a) supply an alternate vehicle in case of a mechanical problem, b) appropriately roster and manage a multi-coach movement for a large event, c) supply coaches for a last minute booking.
Does the company adhere to National Fatigue Management requirements?
There are regulations that limit the number of hours a driver can work, these vary from state to state. Nationally a driver is limited to 12 hours of actual driving time in any 24 hour period. Ensure that the company you work with has a clear understanding of your travel requirements and that they provide appropriate guidance to ensure safe traveling conditions for your guests.
Does the company have a formal Drug & Alcohol Testing Program?
There are many factors that contribute to making an operator safe. Does the company have a drug & alcohol policy & do they conduct a testing program in the workplace.
Ask the company for any references?
Ask the operator if they can forward any references from a similar group or programs
When you are booking transport for your next event remember to use some of the tips mentioned above as safety is the single most important issue!
