Directive (WTD). Fleet operators will be reviewing
the impact of WTD on their schedules and this
process could be widened to identify potential
benefits from changes to working practices.
Not all companies had the same peak days or
weeks and not all fleets operate 24 hours per day or
seven days a week. The variation by fleet is shown
in Figure 8.
In the participating sample, companies operated:
■ five fleets that worked seven days per week
with roughly equal activity throughout
■ 12 fleets that worked seven days, with one or
two relatively light days
■ two fleets that worked six days with varying
levels of daily activity
■ four fleets that worked five days with roughly
equal activity throughout
