Is the course up to date?
Yes. Although the course was originally created in 2020, it is periodically updated to reflect current industry trends, new digital platforms, and recent FMCSA and DOT regulations.
The course includes all the essential information you need to work as an independent dispatcher, covering everything from foundational concepts to the latest practical tools used in today’s market.
👉 Additionally, the course is designed to remain relevant over time, since the operational, administrative, and communication fundamentals of dispatching stay consistent despite ongoing changes or regulatory updates in the transportation industry.
Can I take the course even if I don’t know anything about the trucking industry?
Yes, you can take it even without prior experience. Roxana herself didn’t know anything about trucks when she started.
This is not a limitation as long as you are disciplined and willing to learn.
Do I need a license to be a Truck Dispatcher?
No, you don’t need a license to work as a dispatcher or to perform dispatching services, since you are providing an administrative and logistical support service to carriers (truck owners).
What matters most is having the right knowledge and training to perform your job professionally.
However, it’s important to understand the difference:
You don’t need an MC or DOT number if you work as an intermediary between the carrier and the broker, helping carriers find and coordinate loads.
You will need an MC and DOT number if you plan to contact shippers or brokers directly to negotiate or move loads under your own company name. In that case, you’d be operating as a licensed freight broker, which requires registration with the FMCSA.
✅ In summary:
If you dispatch loads for carriers (without contacting shippers or brokers directly), you don’t need a license, MC, or DOT number.
If you want to negotiate directly with shippers or brokers, you will need an MC and DOT number.
Do I need insurance or a factoring company to be a dispatcher?
No, a dispatcher does not need insurance or a factoring company to work.
Dispatchers work with the carrier’s insurance and factoring company.
You only need to understand how both systems work for the carrier you represent, so you can perform your job effectively.
Do I need an MC or DOT number to be a dispatcher?
No, you don’t need an MC or DOT number to work as a dispatcher.
As a dispatcher, you’re providing your services to the carrier you represent.
You would only need your own MC and/or DOT number if you decide to:
Own and operate your own trucks, or
Expand your business to contact shippers or receivers directly.
Otherwise, you don’t need them.
What types of equipment are included in the course?
The course is designed to prepare you to dispatch carriers who work with Dry Van, Reefer, and/or Flatbed trailers.
