Axele Webinar – Make Your Driver Training Work

Transform Training Into Culture for Greater Success

Axele Webinar – Make Your Driver Training Work

Dallas, TX—October 1, 2021—Axele, LLC, a Transportation Management System (TMS) company, will be hosting a free webinar, “I’m Training My Drivers But It’s Not Changing Behaviors. What Do I Do Now?” on Thursday, October 14, 2021, at 2:00 PM EST.

“This is a very timely webinar as safety issues account for up to 20 percent of fleet turnover,” said Belinda Rueffer, Director of Marketing, Axele. “This is driven by the fact that many drivers see training as punishment rather than professional development. As a result, they reluctantly take training courses and see it as a nuisance which drives dismal results at best.”


Kelly Anderson, President of Kelly Anderson Group, will give the presentation. He will share techniques and best practices to create a culture of excellence in safety. The policies, procedures, and programs outlined in this presentation can significantly improve training outcomes. Attendees to the free webinar will learn how carriers can successfully change key factors around compliance, safety, and training, including:
•Results
•Culture
•Driver Attitudes
•And more

Kelly Anderson has worked in the transportation industry for over 30 years in positions including the US Coast Guard - Federal Law Enforcement Officer, Professional Driver, Driver Trainer, Driver Recruiter, Safety Supervisor, and Safety Manager for a 1720 truck fleet. Using these experiences Kelly founded Kelly Anderson Group, Inc., which provides seminars, e-learning, driver engagement surveys, and recruitment services.
