The depot board, counted

Fleet and checks.

Fifteen assets, called by the names the yard uses. A statutory light on each one, WOF and COF told apart, fourteen days of walk-around checks with the gaps drawn in — and, at the top, the truck that left this morning without a sheet. That last one is the part no job-management system reports, because a system fed by submitted forms can only ever tell you about the forms it was sent.

Reading the register

Every vehicle, plate, odometer reading, driver name and check sheet on this page is simulated. Tubby, Barney and Pickles are fleet names Tree Truck uses publicly; every other name here was invented for this demo and is marked. WOF, COF and registration dates are held as entered — no vehicle register is connected, and nothing on this page reads from NZTA.

Passages quoted from published standards — the Whanganui District Council tree maintenance specification and New Zealand legislation — remain © their publishers, are quoted verbatim, and are cited to source. Any passage is removed on request.

First Light was built by Brim Consultancy and Emertech as a concept demo of a bespoke morning control centre for Tree Truck. It is connected to no Tree Truck, Whanganui District Council, SimPro, Fergus or Calendly system; every person, record and figure shown is simulated, except quoted published standards, which are cited to source.
