What is cover driver?

A cover driver is a standby driver who is ready to fill in when the regular driver is not available or in the event of an emergency. This could include illness, injury, suspension, or unexpected situations that prevent the regular driver from doing their job. Cover drivers are trained to operate the same vehicle and follow the same routes as the regular driver. They must also be familiar with safety protocols and regulations, as well as any specific requirements of the job. The cover driver plays a crucial role in ensuring that deliveries or services are not disrupted due to an absence or emergency.
