The Main Risks in Night-Shift Employee Transport

What are the main risks in night-shift transport?

Short answer

Fatigue, the last drop, dark points, breakdowns, silence, deviations.

The main night-shift transport risks are driver fatigue, the last drop (one employee alone in the vehicle), dark or isolated pickup points, breakdowns at night, delays nobody hears about and route deviations. Controls: rest between duties, written drop rules, safe pickup points, a backup plan, a 24/7 escalation path and GPS with no unapproved route changes.
