OPERATOR AWARDS and How to Sleep Better to Be at Your Best

You'll discover who won "Operator of the Year" for the Southeastern ROC plus...

  • How your sleep makes you a better driver
  • The top sleep strategies for drivers.
  • The easy and accurate way to manage your ELD mandates.

Three Key Takeaways

1. Hours of service regulations are somewhat complicated and change periodically. Whether you are on a short haul exemption or performing interstate deliveries, you need to know the rules and be able to explain the rules that you are operating under to DOT officers. Believe it or not, DOT officers have trouble keeping them straight also.

2. The reason why we have nationally-imposed hours of service regulations is because fatigue is a killer. Know when to surrender to fatigue and don’t sweat the consequences; it’s not worth dying for. 

3. If you are a professional driver, you have to learn how to professionally rest. Practice techniques to obtain a good night’s sleep; there are tricks to it. Sleep is fundamental to good health and safety.

Call To Action  

Driving a bomb is like flying a fighter in combat; If you take-off fatigued, you have just significantly increased your chances of not returning home safe. Fatigue is already an ace; chances are good that you aren’t.
