schedule, including regular checks for tire pressure, fluid levels, and brake systems.
• Conducting routine training sessions for drivers on safe driving practices and
emergency procedures would reinforce our commitment to safety.
• Additionally, I would establish a feedback mechanism for drivers to report any issues
or concerns regarding vehicle performance or road conditions. By prioritizing
preventive maintenance and prompt repairs, we can minimize downtime and prolong
the lifespan of our fleet while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

ensure adherence to safety protocols and timely vehicle maintenance?
Supervision and Management:
To supervise and manage drivers in Nairobi effectively, I would adopt a combination of
proactive measures and supportive leadership.
Regular meetings and performance reviews would provide opportunities to discuss safety
protocols, performance expectations, and any challenges faced on the job.
Implementing a system for documenting driver activities, including vehicle inspections and
maintenance tasks, would promote accountability and transparency.
Providing ongoing training and professional development opportunities would not only
enhance drivers' skills but also foster a culture of continuous improvement.
Additionally, open communication channels would allow drivers to voice their concerns and
suggestions, facilitating a collaborative and positive work environment.
Can you outline your strategy for training new drivers on the use of the DiRTrAC
system and ensuring compliance with Concern’s Transport & Fleet policy?
My strategy for training new drivers on the use of the DiRTrAC system and ensuring
compliance with Concern’s Transport & Fleet policy would involve a combination of hands-
on training sessions and written materials.
I would start by familiarizing new drivers with the DiRTrAC system's interface and
functionality, demonstrating how to log trips, update vehicle status, and report incidents or
maintenance issues.
This would be followed by guided practice sessions where drivers can navigate the system
under supervision and ask questions as needed.
Emphasizing the importance of accurate data entry and adherence to established procedures
would reinforce compliance with organizational policies.
Additionally, I would provide ongoing support and refresher training to ensure that drivers
remain proficient in using the system and uphold compliance standards.
Stores Management:
How do you prioritize and organize the dispatch, loading, and offloading of deliveries in
Nairobi?
Dispatch and Loading Prioritization:
Prioritizing and organizing the dispatch, loading, and offloading of deliveries in Nairobi
requires careful coordination and efficiency.
I would begin by establishing clear protocols for receiving and processing incoming
shipments, including verifying quantities, checking for damages, and updating inventory
records.

stock cards and warranties?
Effectively managing store documentation, including stock cards and warranties, involves
implementing standardized procedures and systems for record-keeping and
documentation.
I would start by organizing physical and digital storage spaces to facilitate easy access and
retrieval of documents. Implementing a centralized database or electronic system for storing
and tracking inventory records would streamline documentation management processes.
Regular audits and reconciliations would ensure the accuracy and completeness of stock
cards, warranties, and other relevant documents.
Providing training to staff on proper documentation procedures and data entry protocols
would promote consistency and compliance with established guidelines.

and vehicle operations in Nairobi, including those enforced by the National Transport
and Safety Authority (NTSA).
• Regular training sessions and updates for drivers would reinforce awareness of traffic
rules, safe driving practices, and vehicle maintenance protocols.
