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.
Dry Van
An enclosed trailer — the most common freight: goods, packaging, pallets.
Reefer
A refrigerated trailer — food and anything that travels temperature-controlled.
Flatbed
An open deck — building materials, machinery, oversized loads.
Power Only
A tractor without its own trailer — it picks up the customer's trailer and hauls it.
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.
What each trailer type means — in the glossary of the trade02The 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 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.
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.
Load boards
Working in DAT and Truckstop: filters and saved searches, judging a rate, dollars per mile, empty miles, payment terms, checking the broker.
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.
Paperwork and running the trip
Rate Confirmation, BOL, POD, invoice, detention and layover. The trip from pick-up to delivery: statuses, problem situations, money.
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.
The market and the dispatcher's role
Who takes part in a trip: shipper, broker, carrier, driver. How freight and money move, what the dispatcher is responsible for and how they earn.
Trailer and freight types
Dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, conestoga, power only: what goes in which, weights and dimensions, securement and tarps. Worked through for the truck you want to run.
The boards: DAT and Truckstop
A live walkthrough on the academy's account: filters and saved searches, reading a listing, checking the broker. We set the search up for your scenario.
Practice: finding and pricing a load
You search for loads yourself with the instructor beside you. Dollars per mile, empty miles, payment terms — calculated on real listings until the maths gets fast.
Negotiating with the broker
The call script from hello to Rate Confirmation: what you must ask, where to negotiate, how to close. Pronunciation and pauses are worked on separately.
Practice: calls
One-on-one practice calls: you talk, the instructor listens and debriefs. By agreement — real calls on the loads you found.
Paperwork and running the trip
Rate Confirmation, BOL, POD, invoice, detention and layover. The trip from pick-up to payment: statuses, problem situations, money.
Your route in and the final debrief
A CV for the US market, interview prep, the first steps after the course. The final debrief runs on your own loads from the practice sessions.
03How the week works
How a week oftraining works
One class a week — not because it is easier, but because the main thing happens between classes: a week of real work, then reviewed for every student.
The class
The instructor demonstrates on a live board and in a broker call, then everyone tries it themselves — once or twice, with the instructor present.
A week of practice
A substantial assignment on the academy's working accounts under the instructor's supervision: finding loads for a specific truck, calling brokers, handling paperwork — like on the job, all week.
The review
The next class opens with a review of every student's assignment: what you found, how you called, where you slipped.
Six such cycles — and by graduation you have five weeks of real work on the boards behind you, not a notebook.
Students do not need their own board subscriptions: practice runs on the academy's accounts.

After the final debrief — the academy's General Freight Dispatch certificate. It confirms the practice you completed, not the fact that you paid.
The academy's classroom in Chișinău — this is where the direction's classes are held.
05The instructor
Who leadsthe direction
Mihai
Instructor of the General Freight Dispatch track
In their own words
In 4 years in US Freight Dispatch I have worked with practically every main type of freight.
Dry Van, Reefer, Flatbed, Step Deck, Conestoga, Power Only — and for the last 2 years especially closely with flatbeds. On the course we go through DAT and Truckstop, learn to calculate rates, talk to brokers and run a load from pickup to delivery. All on real working situations.
In short
- 4 years
- in US Freight Dispatch
- 2 years
- closely with flatbeds
- 6 types
- Dry Van, Reefer, Flatbed, Step Deck, Conestoga, Power Only
Mihai runs the direction himself, and the programme rests on his own practice: from dry van to the flatbeds his last two years went into. Real rates, real broker calls and real loads get worked through — not textbook examples. That is why the group stays small — up to 8 people in the classroom: he can see every student. In the one-on-one format that attention is entirely yours: the same real rates and calls, but only your work gets reviewed.

What a classroom givesthat a screen does not
The instructor is right there: a question is answered on the spot, not in chat

Live walkthroughs of calls and situations with the whole group
The academy's atmosphere: you learn among people with the same goal

What the one-on-oneformat gives you
Your own work gets reviewed, not the group average
A flexible schedule: sessions at a convenient time, from any city
Questions are settled on the spot, in the session with the instructor
The same direction instructor and the same academy working accounts
How a session runs
60 minutes online with the instructor: homework review, theory and practice on the academy's working accounts under the instructor's supervision.
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.
Yes — in the one-on-one format: 8 online sessions of 60 minutes with the direction's instructor, on a schedule built around you. The Chișinău classroom remains for those who value the group and the live atmosphere.
A laptop in class and at home, basic English and a willingness to do the homework. Everything else — the terminology, the tools and the call scripts — is taught on the course.
Yes — the programme is built from zero: from how the US freight market works and the basic terms all the way to practice. You do not need logistics experience. You need the willingness to learn and to do the homework.
The price is fixed: €199 for the online group, €299 for the in-person group, €399 for the one-on-one format, €399 for the General Freight classroom and €499 for General Freight one-on-one. The online group is paid in one payment; the other formats can be paid in full or split in two: the first part at the start of the course, the second mid-course. We go through all the terms on the consultation, before any payment.

07Finding 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.
80%+
of our graduates start working within the first weeks after the course. That is across all graduates, not a promise to you personally.
For strong students
Partner trucking companies
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.
For every graduate
You are taught by a US-market practitioner
Mihai has four years in US Freight Dispatch — 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.
