How does a driver receive their questionnaire?

Right, let's sort out how your drivers receive their medical questionnaires. It's designed to be straightforward, no app login required on their end, which keeps things moving.

Here's the drill:

  1. The system sends an email directly to your driver. It'll come from your operator name, with a clear subject: "Medical questionnaire — please complete by [date]". Can't miss it.
  2. Inside, they'll find a "Start questionnaire" button. Heads up — that link is good for 14 days, then it expires.
  3. They just click that link on whatever device they're using – phone, tablet, laptop, you name it.
  4. First thing they'll see is a fair-processing notice, explaining who's asking for the info and what happens to it. Transparency is key.
  5. Then, they'll tick two consent boxes: confirming their answers are true and that they understand Section 88. This is the one auditors love to see.
  6. Time to answer. Quick one — Tier B usually takes about 3 minutes, while a first-time Tier C might be 10. If it's year two-plus and nothing's changed, they're done in under a minute.
  7. Once they submit, that link's used up. Can't be reused, so no worries about old drafts hanging around.

Quick one — if a driver misplaces that email, no panic. You can always issue a fresh assessment right from the Medical tab. That'll generate a brand new link and invalidate any old, unfinished attempts.

And if a driver's not keen on putting things in writing? There's a "Withdraw and contact my manager" button at the bottom of the form. Clicking that sends a notification straight to the medical reviewer, rather than submitting their answers.

See? Keeping on top of driver medicals is a breeze when DDIR handles the heavy lifting.
