Logmaster Australia

This weekend at Truckfest, Logmaster sponsored the Sydney Truck Show’s first-ever Logbook Throwing Competition 🏆

And what unfolded was something between elite sport and a kind of unspoken protest.

Not polite lobs. Not half-hearted flicks. These were committed, full-bodied launches — hips turning, shoulders driving, eyes locked on the horizon. Sydney’s finest looked like they were trying to send those diaries into orbit 🚀

Here we have the winning throw — and it’s epic 🎥💥

We thought it would be a bit of fun. What we didn’t expect was how clearly the sentiment would reveal itself.

There was real commitment in those throws. Not just athletic — expressive. The kind of effort that tells you exactly how someone might have been feeling about a thing for years.

Sometimes that feeling comes out as a logbook flying 40 metres across a field 💨

The event somehow became more than the sport. Watching it unfold — the precision, the power, the unmistakable intent — was both surprising and delightful. At times, it was almost graceful.

Transport managers — the day will come when whoever has been holding things back with old ideas sees the light and your company goes digital.

When that happens, your team might feel inspired to run an event like this.

One detail: probably don’t use real logbooks 😅

If you want replicas that really fly, ask the Truckfest team — they’ve clearly figured it out.

Logmaster is dedicated to the athletes 💪

Special thanks to Sydney TruckFest , Brendon Ryan, Bruce Gunter, Meg Becker and the Copy Southbound Podcast team for putting on an event that genuinely reflects the culture of this industry 🙌

🚛 Our MD Josh officially got his HR licence 🚛
Not because he’s planning on jumping in the drivers seat full time, but because if you’re building tools for truck drivers, you should actually know what the job feels like.

Massive thanks to Ash Anderson Truck Instructor at Dynamic Truck School for putting him through it. Proper training, solid gear, and yeah, a bloody good time doing it too.

If you’ve ever thought, “these software people have no idea what it’s really like driving trucks”, this is us making sure we do.

When a serious safety incident occurs, both the NHVR and state WorkSafe regulators are now routinely testing whether company officers have exercised due diligence, not just whether the business had policies on paper.

The Melbourne Cup in Numbers 🏇📊
You don’t have to watch horse racing to appreciate the physics.

Here’s an estimation of what actually happens down that 3.2 km stretch at Flemington:

24 horses on the track

~500 kg each → about 12 tonnes of moving mass

4 hooves each → 96 hooves hammering the ground

Volume of the field: roughly 12 cubic metres (a third of a 20-foot container)

Peak output per horse: around 12–15 horsepower, averaging 10 hp over the race

Field total: ~300–360 horsepower in motion

Mechanical energy: ~36 megajoules over the run

Actual energy burned: closer to 140 MJ, once you count muscle efficiency losses

Time: just over 3 minutes

Top speed: around 60–65 km/h (16–18 metres per second) as they hit the final straight

Sound level at the finish line: about 95–100 dB — similar to standing near a passing semi-trailer

Twelve tonnes of biological engines, turning hay and oats into motion, roaring past at 60 km/h.

🚛🎉 LOGMASTER - 3 YR MILESTONE 🎉🚛

Three years ago, we hit the road with our NHVR-approved Electronic Work Diary, ready to help drivers like you keep compliant and cut the paperwork.

Since then, we’ve gone from a small start-up to being trusted by some of the biggest names in Aussie transport — and it’s all thanks to the drivers, operators, and mates who’ve had our back from day one.

From the cab to the depot, we know it’s you blokes and ladies behind the wheel who keep Australia moving — and we’re proud to be part of your journey.

Here’s to the next chapter. 🍻 Thanks for riding with Logmaster!

🛑 Fines going up from July 1

Just a heads up: the NHVR is raising the price of accreditations and the fines for logbook issues, fatigue breaches, and more.

That means one small mistake could cost you hundreds — or more.

At Logmaster, we’re here to help drivers stay safe, on the road, and out of trouble. Our digital logbook keeps everything clear, easy to use, and up-to-date with the rules.

📲 Don’t get caught out. If you’re not using Logmaster yet, it’s a good time to check it out.

🚛 Stay informed. Stay safe. Stay compliant.

🚨 DRIVERS – IMPORTANT PROCEDURE FOR INSPECTIONS 🚨

Know what to do when you're pulled up for a logbook check or weighbridge inspection?

👉 Tap Compliance in your Logmaster app before handing over your phone!
Why?

✅ Limits access so the officer can ONLY see 28 days of your logbook

✅ Keeps your personal info and other parts of the app out of the matter

✅ Officers are only trained to use this inspection mode

✅ Helps avoid confusion, or examination of irrelevant functions
📱 ANDROID USERS: The device auto-locks in Compliance Mode — no extra steps needed.

🍏 APPLE USERS: Can activate Guided Access, which locks the screen to the inspection view.
Once in Compliance Mode, officers can:

📄 View 28 days of logbook entries

🚨 See locked-in breaches

📝 Leave inspection notes

📧 Send themselves a copy of your logs
Instead of going through the daily operational area of your logbook app.

It’s secure, simple, and built to protect YOU.
🛡️ If you don’t use Compliance Mode, you might be opening up way more than required.
➡️ Spread the word – tag a driver who needs to know this!

🚚 What a few days at the Brisbane Truck Show! 🚛

We had an awesome time at BTS - the biggest trucking event in the southern hemisphere - it definitely lived up to the hype!
Every two years, the whole transport world comes together in one place: drivers, fleet owners, service providers, and everyone who keeps Australia moving.

We’re super grateful to be part of it, and even more thankful to all the legends who stopped by our booth. Whether you came for a yarn, gave us feedback, or just wanted to say hi - we really appreciate it.

Big shoutout to our partners, industry mates, and of course the drivers who make it all happen. We’re proud to be on this journey with you.

Bring on the next one! 👋
