          o   Not required to submit log card and inspection report

         For hook-lift trucks and equipment (OTCs, Compactor, PWCS
          Container), system will send reminders at a stipulated frequency before
          the certification expires.

2)    Update and submit drivers and crew information
      Interface with SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG)
          o   Not required to submit WSQ certificate
