The whole course in two minutes

Nine blocks are nine steps of a dispatcher's work: the job and the market, the load board, rates, broker calls, paperwork, the trip, money, your own carrier and a final week.

The course is built around one truck and its week: the same loads, documents and numbers run through every lesson.

How a lesson works

Read, watch, decide

A lesson never turns into a long lecture. It goes in steps, and every step gives you something to do with your hands.

01

Steps of text

Short paragraphs, examples with numbers, terms on tap. The side menu shows where you are.

02

Video alongside

A one- or two-minute clip next to the text: a map, documents, a broker call. Voice and subtitles.

03

Decisions

Chats with a driver or a broker, "dispatcher or broker" situations, a calculator, the "Build a truck's week" exercise.

04

Check

10 questions one at a time, a pass from 8 of 10, and a printable one-screen cheat sheet.

Program

9 blocks, 44 lessons

Lessons come out in order, block by block. A published lesson opens from its link; the rest are marked "Coming soon". The practice tag means the lesson has a task in Load Finder, the call trainer or on a document.
