Driver Documents for Owned Plant Transfers
Generate driver delivery documents for owned-plant allocations, transfers and depot returns, linked to each movement, asset and contract.
Owned plant movements need a consistent delivery record
A wagon turns up at a site gate with a machine on the back. What is it, whose is it, which contract is it for, who signed for it? When plant moves on a phone call, the driver may have no consistent document and the receiving team may have no shared record to check.
Months later that missing piece of paper is the difference between settling and losing an argument about what was delivered, when, and in what condition.
Delivery documents generated from the movement itself
Equipbase generates a driver delivery document straight from the movement record: the plant being moved, where it's leaving, where it's going, the dates and the transport details. The driver carries paperwork that matches the movement record, and the receiving team can check the delivery against it.
Because the document is produced from the movement, it stays linked to it, findable from the transfer, the asset and the contract rather than lost in a cab.
What you can do with driver delivery documents
Documents from movements
Generate a delivery document from a recorded owned-plant movement.
Origin and destination
The document states where plant left and where it's due, whether that's a depot or contract site.
Plant details listed
Each item on the movement, identified properly. No "1x digger" mysteries.
Transport details
Record the transport used for the move, so the haulage side has a record too.
Linked to the record
The document stays with its movement, asset and contract for later retrieval.
Consistent format
Every delivery document looks the same, whichever depot or site produced it.

Frequently asked questions
Which movements can produce delivery documents?
Owned plant movements (allocations to contracts, moves between contracts and returns to depot) can each generate a driver delivery document from the movement record.
Where does the document go after the move?
It stays attached to the movement in Equipbase, so it's findable from the asset, the transfer and the contract and doesn't depend on the paper copy surviving.
Can it include how the plant is being transported?
Yes. Movements can record transport details, and they carry onto the document so the delivery record covers the haulage as well as the plant.
Do hired plant deliveries get documents too?
Hired plant deliveries are made by the supplier under their own paperwork; Equipbase tracks the delivery status against the order. Driver delivery documents cover the movements you run yourself.
