Axele Webinar: Optimizing Your Operation Using New HoS Flexibility

Transportation Industry Expert to Discuss Rule Changes and How They Impact Business

Dallas, TX, February 3, 2021—Axele, LLC, a Transportation Management System (TMS) company, is hosting a webinar, “Optimizing Your Operation Using New Hours of Service Flexibility.” Attendees will learn how carriers and drivers can use new Hours of Service (HoS) flexibility to improve operation efficiency. Dave Osiecki, a 30-year transportation industry veteran and President of Scopelitis Transportation Consulting, will share his expertise and knowledge about the rule changes during the free webinar on February 17, 2021, at 2:00 PM ET.

“The Hours of Service rule changes are intended to provide greater flexibility for drivers without lowering safety standards,” said Ryan Camacho, Director of Business Development, Axele. “We believe that it is essential for trucking companies to understand these rules and learn how to successfully navigate them in a profitable carrier operation.” 


In this hour-long event, Osiecki will discuss the four rule changes that came into effect in October 2020, and how these rules will impact businesses. He will answer questions on:

  • What the new rules are and what they mean for your business
    • Short-haul exception
    • Adverse driving conditions exception
    • 30-minute break requirement
    • Sleeper berth provision
  • How these new rules changed from the previous rules
  • How the new rules will impact your business operations
  • How you can use the new rule changes to become more efficient
  • How Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) can help your operations
  • And much more

Dave Osiecki began his 30-year transportation career in 1986 as a motor carrier safety auditor in the field for the Federal Highway Administration’s Office of Motor Carriers (OMC). He left federal service in 1995 and spent the last 20 years at the American Trucking Associations (ATA) in Washington working on behalf of the trucking industry in policy, regulatory and advocacy-related positions. Mr. Osiecki rose to the Executive Vice President & Chief of National Advocacy for ATA, and has represented the industry before State legislatures, federal agencies, the U.S. Congress and in the national media, including appearances on national network news programs. Over the last 15 years, Mr. Osiecki has also been a regular speaker and commentator before transportation and trucking industry groups.
