START WITH WHAT YOU KNOW.
Begin with a short HOS assessment to see
where you stand.
Knowing the Rule Is One
Thing.Knowing What to Do Next Is
Everything.
Hours of Service doesn't happen in a classroom.
It happens when the clock is running. When a shipper keeps you waiting. When
the schedule changes. When dispatch needs an answer. When your ELD shows
available time, but the situation isn't as simple as the screen makes it look.
HOSoptima training is built for those moments.
Learn the rules. Work through practical situations. Strengthen your understanding.
Then demonstrate what you know.

Path to Certification
Demonstrate what you've learned.
This Isn't "Next. Next. Next. Complete."
A driver can finish a course without fully understanding what was taught. That's a problem when the subject is Hours of Service.
HOS decisions happen throughout a driver's day, and the answer isn't always sitting neatly on a screen.
HOSoptima is designed to move drivers beyond simply being exposed to HOS information.
The goal isn't simply to finish HOS training. It's to understand what you're doing when the situation changes.
CONNECT IT.
Understand what happens when
multiple rules and clocks interact.KNOW IT.
Build a strong understanding of
the rules, limits, responsibilities.APPLY IT.
Use that knowledge to work
through practical HOS situations.RECOGNIZE IT.
Identify situations that may create
compliance problems before
making the next move.DEMONSTRATE
IT.Demonstrate you've learned
through assessment and
certification.
Built From the Fundamentals Up.
Hours of Service is easier to understand when concepts are introduced in the right order.
HOSoptima training builds from foundational HOS concepts into situations that require drivers to connect multiple
pieces of information and decide what matters.
HOS FOUNDATIONS
Key rules, terminology and
driver responsibilities.DRIVING & DUTY LIMITS
Driving limits, duty
windows, breaks and
available hours.MULTI-DAY LIMITS
How accumulated on-duty
time affects your available
hours.SLEEPER BERTH
How sleeper-berth use
works and why it matters.EXCEPTIONS & SPECIAL
SITUATIONSWhen an exception may
apply and what the
requirements are.RECORDS & ELDS
The relationship between
HOS rules, records and
ELDs.REAL-WORLD
APPLICATIONBring it all together with
practical situations.
Because Real HOS Decisions
Don't Arrive Labeled.
A driver's day doesn't stop and announce: “This is a 14-hour driving-window question.”
A delay happens. Plans change. Time keeps moving. And the driver still has to decide
what happens next.
- How much driving time is actually available?
- Which limit controls the situation?
- Did that rest period change the calculation?
- Does an exception actually apply?
- How should the time be recorded?
- Can the driver continue driving?
Knowing a rule matters. Knowing when and how it applies is where understanding becomes useful.
Learn It. Work Through It. Demonstrate It.
