The class programme

You pay after talking to the manager, and can split it in two — nothing to pay on the website.

01What is hauled

Every truck you will findon DAT and Truckstop

We do not stop at one trailer type: the course covers everything that actually gets posted on the boards. Each type has its own requirements, its own rates and its own call with the broker.

A red Kenworth semi truck with a dry van trailer on an Arizona highway

Dry Van

An enclosed trailer — the most common freight: goods, packaging, pallets.

A Kenworth semi truck with a Thermo King refrigerated trailer at a truck stop

Reefer

A refrigerated trailer — food and anything that travels temperature-controlled.

A red Peterbilt semi truck with a flatbed trailer beside a rock arch in Utah

Flatbed

An open deck — building materials, machinery, oversized loads.

A row of white trailers at a warehouse's loading docks

Power Only

A tractor without its own trailer — it picks up the customer's trailer and hauls it.

And the rest of the types you meet in the listings

Step Deck
A drop-deck platform for taller-than-standard freight.
Conestoga
A rolling-tarp flatbed — covered freight, loaded from the top and sides.
Hotshot
A pickup with a gooseneck trailer — urgent, smaller loads.
Lowboy / RGN
A low platform for machinery and oversized loads.

A trailer type is not a separate profession: the mechanics of searching, pricing and calling stay the same — what changes is the freight requirements and the questions you ask.

02The programme

6 classes —each with practice

Theory, then practice on working scenarios right after it. A class is about an hour and a half; the course takes about a month and a half.

The next group

Starts 19 September · Saturdays at 16:00 · up to 8 seats

01

The US general freight market

Who takes part in a trip: shipper, broker, carrier, driver. How the freight and the money move, who pays whom and what the dispatcher is responsible for.

02

Trailer and freight types

Dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, conestoga, power only: what goes in which, weights and dimensions, securement and tarps — and where beginners most often go wrong.

03

Load boards

Working in DAT and Truckstop: filters and saved searches, judging a rate, dollars per mile, empty miles, payment terms, checking the broker.

04

Negotiating with brokers

The call script from hello to confirmation: what you must ask, where to negotiate, how to close the call and get the Rate Confirmation.

05

Paperwork and running the trip

Rate Confirmation, BOL, POD, invoice, detention and layover. The trip from pick-up to delivery: statuses, problem situations, money.

06

Live practice and the final debrief

Finding real loads for a specific truck, working out rates, simulated calls. A final debrief: a CV and the first steps after the course.

03The result

What you can doafter the course

Find and assess loads on DAT and Truckstop, and set up a search for a specific truck

Tell dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck and conestoga apart — and know what changes in the requirements

Talk to brokers using ready scripts, negotiate and confirm the rate

Read and prepare documents: Rate Confirmation, BOL, POD, invoice

Run a trip: loading, statuses, detention, problem situations

Work out dollars per mile and understand what a truck's income is made of

Certificate

After the final debrief — the academy's General Freight Dispatch certificate. It confirms the practice you completed, not the fact that you paid.

04The instructor

Who leadsthe direction

The direction has its own instructor — someone who works with general freight themselves: the DAT and Truckstop boards, broker calls, trip paperwork. They teach from their own daily practice, not from someone else's notes.

About the name and the experience

We only publish what people have approved for the website themselves. You will meet the instructor at the free consultation — that is where we tell you exactly who teaches the classes and what their background is.

How the teaching works

A group of up to 8 — the instructor gets to review each person's work

6 classes: theory, then practice on working scenarios

Homework reviewed at the start of every class — on real listings from the boards

Questions are answered on the spot, not in chat between classes

05Learning live

What a classroom givesthat a screen does not

The instructor is right there: a question is answered on the spot, not in chat

The discipline of a schedule: harder to drop than an online course

Common questions about the direction

They find a load on the board for a specific truck, work out whether the trip pays, agree the rate with the broker, handle the paperwork and run the trip from pick-up to payment. It is remote work for US carrier companies.

The rest of the answers — in the full FAQ.

06Finding work

An honest look atwhat comes after the course

We do not sell the fairy tale of "you paid, so you got a job". Here is what actually happens — two levels of help.

Option 1

Partner trucking companies

80%+

of our graduates start working within the first weeks after the course

We work with trucking companies and, when employers are interested, we refer our students to them. It is an opportunity strong students earn through results — not a clause in a contract.

Option 2 · in any case

You are taught by a working dispatcher

He works in dispatch himself — and together with him you:

learn where and how to look for work

put your CV together

prepare for the interview

search for real openings together in the last lesson

Nobody can guarantee employment — the result depends on your practice and your English. But you do not leave the course into a void: you leave with a plan, a finished CV and a first list of openings.
