I teach the work, step by step.
I came to the U.S. as an immigrant. I know how hard it is to learn a new language while working long hours and sorting good advice from bad. I built DTC to teach the work clearly. — Alexandra

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need trucking experience to become a freight dispatcher?
No experience required. Our Freight Dispatch Training program introduces beginners to practical dispatch workflows and guided assignments. We cover everything from how loads are moved to carrier setup, rate negotiation, and how to find your first client. Many of our graduates had no trucking background at all.
How long does the training take and is it online?
Yes. PRO Freight Dispatch and IFTA are taught live online. The next Trucking Safety & Compliance Training cohort is live on Zoom. The current in-person class is already underway and is not open for new enrollment. Check each program page for current dates, times, and format options.
Can I work from home as a freight dispatcher?
Many freight dispatchers work remotely. Building a business requires consistent service, client development and practical operating skills. With a computer, phone, and load board subscription, you can run a legitimate dispatching business from home. Our training covers everything you need to launch and scale your dispatch operation.
What's the difference between the individual courses and the Mastery Bundle?
Each course targets a specific role: Freight Dispatch for dispatchers & owner-operators, Safety Manager for DOT compliance officers, and IFTA/Permits for back-office. The Mastery Bundle combines all three at a significant discount — ideal for owner-operators who handle every role, or companies training a small team. See the bundle page for the complete curriculum and inclusions.
Is there a payment plan available?
Yes! Buy-now-pay-later options including Affirm and Klarna are available directly at Wix checkout — just pick your preferred plan when you enroll online, no phone call needed. Payment plans are available for the Freight Dispatch Training and the Mastery Bundle.
Is DTC Academy the same as PRO training?
PRO is a scheduled live course for $1,199, with five core classes, two practical sessions, and 30 days of Academy access. DTC Academy is an ongoing learning community for live Q&A, resources, and member discussions. Its standard signup offer is 14 days free, then $95/month until canceled. A card is required.
How much DTC Academy access is included with training?
PRO Freight Dispatch Training includes 30 days of DTC Academy access. The Dispatching Mastery Bundle includes two months of Academy access. For standalone Academy signup, the standard offer is 14 days free, then $95/month until canceled. A card is required. Review the terms and billing date at signup before choosing paid continuation.
