Day-to-day operating brief

What Traffic Office Manager work looks like in practice

A Traffic Office Manager leads day-to-day transport control, coordinating drivers, vehicles, routes, loads and customer updates. The agreement should define services, shift coverage, driver-hours interfaces, dispatch authority, subcontractors, defects, delays, incidents, documentation, systems and escalation. Commercial pressure must not lead the manager to plan unlawful or unsafe work or conceal missed service. The traffic office should maintain a live view of driver availability, vehicle status and uncompleted work across shift changes. The manager may arbitrate competing customer priorities, but the reason for each override needs an auditable record. Employers should define welfare checks, severe-weather decisions, agency-driver verification and the handling of suspected tachograph or conduct concerns. A structured handover should name late vehicles, stranded loads, open incidents and collections that remain unconfirmed rather than relying on informal messages. The manager should additionally review shift workloads and rest opportunities for controllers themselves, because fatigue in live allocation can create unsafe instructions and missed incident escalation. Recovered service should still retain the original delay cause, customer impact and corrective follow-up in records.

Responsibilities to define

  • lead traffic office staff and shifts
  • allocate drivers vehicles and routes
  • monitor progress hours and disruptions
  • coordinate customers depots and subcontractors
  • record incidents defects and recovery actions

A realistic working scenario

A late collection would push a driver beyond available hours, so the manager replans rather than instructing the driver to continue.

Outputs to agree

  • controlled daily transport plans
  • clear driver and customer communication
  • reliable incident and delay records

Records and evidence

  • driver vehicle route and shift
  • load collection and delivery status
  • hours delay and replan decision
  • incident defect customer update and handover

Authority and escalation

The manager cannot instruct unlawful driving, release defective vehicles, manipulate hours records, misstate delivery status or appoint subcontractors outside authority.

Contract priorities

  • services shifts staff and systems
  • drivers vehicles routes and loads
  • hours defects delays and incidents
  • customers subcontractors and handover

Information the employer should prepare

  • the transport services and shift model
  • the dispatch and replan authority
  • the hours defect and incident controls
  • the customer and subcontractor process
  • the transport manager and senior routes

Individually written and reviewed against the maintained role record.
