Set the alarm clock for 12:58 am

Online alarm clock for 12:58 am

Pause the road-clearing checks long enough to set an alarm for 12:58 am, so you can break away and leave for the Lindis Pass clearance run. The alert lands just before 1:00 am, giving you a clear handover point instead of relying on a glance at the clock while you are occupied with equipment and departure details.

Before returning to the job, choose the alarm sound and run a quick test at the volume you intend to use. A signal that seems obvious in a quiet room may be lost beside a running ute, radio traffic, or machinery, so check it under conditions close to departure. For the Lindis Pass clearance run, keep a separate alarm on your phone: this browser alert will stay silent if its page is closed or the computer goes to sleep.

While finishing preparations at this late hour, keep the screen dim enough that it does not dominate the cab or work area, but bright enough to confirm 12:58 am without squinting. Use a warmer display setting if available, then place the screen out of your direct line of sight once the alarm is armed. That also reduces glare on windows and makes it easier to keep attention on the gear around you before heading towards the pass.
