What’s Inside This Program
This program includes focused courses that support the larger training outcome.
Course
Driver Communication & Retention Tactics
This course focuses on building strong, professional communication between dispatchers and drivers. Learners will develop skills to give clear instructions, manage expectations, handle conflict, and maintain driver morale under pressure. It also introduces retention-focused behaviors that reduce turnover, such as consistency, respect, and proactive communication. The outcome is fewer misunderstandings, stronger relationships, and more reliable driver performance.
Course
Load Planning & Dispatch Basics
This course teaches the fundamentals of planning and assigning loads efficiently. Learners will understand how to match freight with available drivers and equipment, optimize routes, and minimize downtime. It covers key concepts like load prioritization, deadhead reduction, scheduling, and basic problem-solving when plans change. The goal is to create dispatchers who think in terms of efficiency and profitability—not just moving trucks.
Course
Regulatory Basics for Dispatchers (HOS Awareness, Weight Limits)
This course provides dispatchers with essential compliance knowledge needed to avoid violations and operational disruptions. It covers Hours of Service (HOS) awareness, basic weight and load limits, and how dispatch decisions impact compliance. While not a certification course, it ensures dispatchers understand the boundaries they must operate within to protect both the driver and the company from costly penalties.
Course
Using TMS Tools Effectively
This course introduces dispatchers to Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and how to use them as operational control centers. Learners will understand how to manage loads, track driver status, update shipments, and maintain accurate records within a TMS. It emphasizes efficiency, data accuracy, and real-time decision-making, helping dispatchers move from reactive work to structured, system-driven operations.
