What must be done when a licensed driver is not available for vehicle loading or offloading?

When a licensed driver is not available for vehicle loading or offloading, it is imperative to screen and determine the most qualified individual to operate the vehicle. This ensures that the task can be performed safely and efficiently without compromising the integrity of the operation or creating unnecessary delays.

Selecting a qualified individual means that this person should possess at least a valid driver's license and meet the necessary training requirements for operating the specific type of vehicle. By doing so, the risks associated with the operation, such as accidents or mishandling cargo, can be minimized.

Delay of the operation until a driver is found may not be practical or efficient, as it could lead to downtime and affect the entire logistics chain. Similarly, moving the vehicle without an operator is unsafe and not permissible, while notifying the aircraft commander may not directly relate to resolving the immediate situation regarding vehicle operation.
