A great day yesterday at Drivetech Southland with our Logbook Refresher course!

We had a lively bunch of hardcase drivers in the room, plenty of laughs, good banter, and some great discussions throughout the day. A big thank you to Steve from CSVT for attending and sharing his extensive knowledge, experience, and guidance with the group. His insights were invaluable and greatly appreciated by everyone.

It’s always great to see drivers committed to staying up to date, sharing experiences, and continuing to improve their knowledge of industry requirements.

Thanks to everyone who attended and helped make it an informative and enjoyable day. Safe travels out there! 🚛

⚠️ FORKLIFT FINES & LEGALITY IN NZ ⚠️

Many NZ businesses don’t realise their forklift operators could be breaking the law.

If forklifts are being used in:
✔ Open yards
✔ Loading zones
✔ Customer collection areas
✔ Shared driveways
✔ Carparks or public access areas

…operators may legally require:
✅ Forklift Operator Training
✅ F Endorsement on their licence
✅ Correct licence class
✅ Current rego & WoF (where required)

Failure to comply can lead to:
❌ NZTA infringement fines
❌ WorkSafe investigations
❌ Prosecution after accidents
❌ Site shutdowns
❌ Insurance issues
❌ Fines up to $100,000+ for serious breaches
❌ Company penalties reaching hundreds of thousands — even millions — in severe cases

Remember — under NZ law, a “road” includes many areas the public can access, even workplace yards and loading areas.

Protect your staff, your business, and your reputation with proper forklift compliance training.
