  • 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.
