The CoRGuard Heavy Vehicle Trip Planner is a free online tool that builds HVNL-aware trip plans for Australian truck operators. Enter a route and it schedules fatigue rest breaks and fuel stops, produces a driver safety briefing, and exports a PDF trip plan you can keep as Chain of Responsibility evidence — no login required.
What the trip planner does
HVNL-aware route planning
Plan a heavy vehicle journey from origin to destination with the Heavy Vehicle National Law front of mind, so the trip is structured around compliant driving and rest rather than raw distance.
Automatic fatigue and rest breaks
The planner spaces rest and fatigue breaks across the journey so drivers and schedulers can see where breaks should fall before the truck leaves the depot.
Fuel and rest-stop checkpoints
Practical fuel and rest-stop checkpoints are built into the plan, giving drivers a clear, realistic run sheet for the trip instead of guesswork on the road.
Downloadable PDF trip plan
Export the trip as a PDF with a safety briefing and stop schedule — a simple record schedulers, drivers, and managers can share and keep as Chain of Responsibility evidence.

From a trip plan to ongoing compliance
The trip planner helps with a single journey. Managing fatigue, driver diary checks, vehicle standards, inductions, and Chain of Responsibility evidence across a whole fleet is a bigger job — that is what CoRGuard compliance software is built for. Explore the full feature set or read more in our resources.
This tool generates trip plans as a guide only. Drivers and operators remain responsible for compliance with the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) at all times.
