Classroom group. Lessons in a classroom in Chișinău — €299
Nine two-hour lessons in a classroom in Chișinău, three times a week, from October 20 to November 13. We set the time to suit the group. Up to ten people — everyone gets to ask questions and sit at the live board. Lessons are in Russian or Romanian. Starts October 20. Enrolment closes October 18.
What €299 includes
The same nine lessons — in a classroom in Chișinău
We give you the address on the call: it is a working space where active dispatchers run their own loads.
DAT and Truckstop on screen
In lesson four the board is shown live from a working account — on the screen in the room, on real loads. If you want, sit down and dig into it.
You keep the lesson recordings
Every lesson is recorded — rewatch it before the homework or after the course.
A cheat sheet for your first week
A deck answering the twenty questions a beginner faces once on the job.
Proof of completion
A certificate of completion — plus help writing your CV and preparing for the interview.
Support is included
In your first month at work you can message a mentor from 15:00 to 00:00: should I take this load, what should I do. No extra charge.
The programme: nine topics in three weeks
One programme for every format — the classroom differs only in that you are in the same room as the instructor.
- Lesson 01
Who is who in US trucking
Dispatcher, broker, carrier, shipper, customer, factoring — who pays whom.
- Lesson 02
A dispatcher’s working day from start to finish
The first thirty minutes of a shift and the whole day — up to handing over to the after-hours team.
- Lesson 03
Trailers and their markets
Dry Van, Vented, Reefer, Flatbed, Conestoga, Step Deck, RGN, Low Boy, Power Only — which freight goes on which trailer.
- Lesson 04
DAT and Truckstop boards — live on screen
A real board from the instructor’s working account. Students do not get logins.
- Lesson 05
Finding a load for a specific driver — practice
City, state, date, a 150-mile radius — and how to tell that a load suits this driver.
- Lesson 06
The broker: the call, the check, the haggling
What to say in the first ten seconds, how to check a broker and how to get a better rate.
- Lesson 07
Paperwork and money: rate con, BOL, factoring
How a document becomes an invoice — and why a broker not paying is not your problem in trucking.
- Lesson 08
Running a load, and when it goes wrong
Won’t load, won’t unload: there is one answer, and it is the broker. Real cases, taken apart.
- Lesson 09
The driver, the team and your first job
Talking to drivers, an internship from the inside, job ads and your CV.
This format suits you if
- You are in Chișinău or can come in three times a week, in the daytime. We agree the time with the group before the start.
- You are between 18 and 50.
- You understand spoken English on the phone and can reply. Not a certificate — the ability to understand a broker and get your point across. No English yet? Then English first, the course after.
- You can follow lessons in Russian or Romanian. The course is not taught in English — English is the language of the job, with brokers.
Does it all fit? Leave a request — we’ll call you the same day, between 15:00 and 00:00
