Driver Shift Coverage Calculator
Determine how many drivers you need to cover a 7-day, 2-shift operation including leave + sickness buffer.
Formula: base_drivers_required = vehicles_in_service * shifts_per_day * operating_days_per_week / 5; buffer_drivers = ceil(vehicles_in_service * shifts_per_day * operating_days_per_week / 5 * (annual_leave_days + sick_days_per_driver) / 250); total_driver_pool = ceil(vehicles_in_service * shifts_per_day * operating_days_per_week / 5 + vehicles_in_service * shifts_per_day * operating_days_per_week / 5 * (annual_leave_days + sick_days_per_driver) / 250)
