I just completed the mini course and it was full of value. Im gonna go through it one more time before I take my next step to $10,000 a month

I think a lot of new dispatchers get confused when people talk about CPM and RPM. It does sound complicated, but honestly, it's super simple once you see how the math works. CPM = Cost Per Mile RPM = Rate Per Mile Both help you understand whether the load actually makes sense for your carrier. CPM: Cost Per Mile This tells you how much it costs the truck to run one mile. It includes items like fuel, insurance, truck payment, maintenance, etc. Formula: Total Weekly/Monthly Costs ÷ Total Miles = CPM Example: Let's say your carrier spends: $1,200 on fuel $600 on truck payment $300 on insurance $200 on maintenance Total = $2,300 per week And they drive 2,500 miles. CPM = $2,300 ÷ 2,500 = $0.92 per mile This means anything less than $0.92 is a loss. Anything above that is profit. RPM (Rate Per Mile) This is what the broker is paying per mile. Formula: Total Rate ÷ Total Miles = RPM Example: Broker pays $2,000 for the 1,000-mile load. RPM = $2,000 ÷ 1,000 = $2.00/mile That's it. Super simple. Putting it together the part most dispatchers skip. If your RPM is greater than your CPM, then the load is profitable. If it's lower → the truck is losing money. Example: CPM = $0.92 RPM = $2.00 Profit per mile = $1.08 Total profit on a 1,000-mile load = $1,080 That's why these figures are important to know. Why this helps you as a dispatcher you negotiate stronger because you know what your carrier actually needs. You stop booking cheap freight that kills the truck. Carriers trust you more because you are thinking like a business owner, not just trying to grab any load.

Hey everyone, my name is Asia, and I’m new to the community. I’m pretty familiar with the trucking industry, as I worked in Progressive Commercial Lines for the past 4 years. Just last week, I made the decision to walk away from my job and take control of my life to finally become the main character in my own story. Over the past few months, I’ve spent a lot of time researching dispatching, learning the industry, and preparing myself to take this leap of faith into entrepreneurship. I’ve already established my LLC, registered for my EIN, and mapped out my business plan. At this point, I’m focused on gaining the skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience needed to build a successful and trustworthy dispatching business. This journey means a lot more to me than just starting a company. I’m dedicating this business to my grandfather, who passed away 4 years ago ironically not too long after I started working at Progressive. He was a truck driver himself, and I truly believe pursuing this path, building a legacy for my family, and honoring his memory would make him proud. I’m excited to connect, learn, grow, and network with others in the industry. Looking forward to this new chapter and everything that comes with it.

Oh! I also made decals and! Logos 🥳🥳🥳
