Dispatch Course Update
Hello all I have been working on putting up the legal and compliance section for the dispatch course. I have the first couple of modules uploaded. I will be adding at least 2-3 modules per day until the dispatch course is complete. Feel free to start working on those and provide feedback. Please let me know if you have any questions.

A quick follow up, those of you who received a free dispatching course, the second module did not show up free. I am fixing that this morning and you should have access to that today.

This has been fixed and the latest two modules for legal and compliance have been uploaded.
Dispatch Scenario
Today's dispatcher scenario: You see that Alabama's Mobile River Bridge and Bayway Project is fully funded. A hazmat driver is approaching Mobile, and someone says the new bridge can now be used. It cannot. ALDOT expects full construction to begin October 1, 2026, and currently projects the new bridge to open in late 2031. A dispatcher coordinates the carrier's freight, route, appointments, and driver communication. The dispatcher must separate a funding announcement from a current routing change. Stop, verify today's official truck route and restrictions, calculate the real detour and ETA, and document the source you used. What would you do next? Let us know in the comments!

Dispatcher Scenario
Today's dispatcher scenario: You are assigning a diesel-fuel load. A coworker says the new FMCSA waiver gives the driver sixteen hours and removes the normal limits. The driver then reports fatigue. A dispatcher coordinates the carrier's freight, route, appointments, and driver communication. A dispatcher does not decide that every fuel load qualifies or ignore the waiver's conditions. The waiver is effective September 16 through December 16, 2026, for qualifying interstate gasoline and diesel transportation. It includes a 16-driving-hour maximum in any 24-hour period, rest requirements, eligibility rules, a requirement to carry the waiver, and protection for a driver who needs immediate rest. Your move: stop, verify the operation and eligibility, read the document, recalculate the plan, and arrange safe rest. What would you do next? Let us know in the comments below. #DispatcherScenario #HoursOfService #TransportationEducation #TruckingSafety
