How do linked runs at shift change work?
The vehicle brings the incoming shift to the gate just before the change, waits for the outgoing shift and drives them home. One trip to the plant serves two shifts.
| Shift change | Vehicle brings | Vehicle takes home |
|---|---|---|
| First → second | Second-shift staff | First-shift staff |
| Second → third | Third-shift staff | Second-shift staff |
| Third → first | First-shift staff | Third-shift staff |
Works best when incoming and outgoing staff live along the same route.
Do all three shifts need the same vehicles?
Not always. The night shift often has fewer people, so a smaller vehicle may do; the main shifts may need buses. We size each shift separately from your headcount.
How is the third shift kept safe?
Night runs use GPS on every car, driver details before pickup and live location for the coordinator; female drivers are available on request, and your drop-off rules are followed.
