Hello Students, It’s been awhile and I apologize. I had an accident in my semi truck a few weeks ago. I have recovered but I’m back driving OTR so my ache is unpredictable. However, my daughter Blair Daniels who has been dispatching for almost 10 yrs will be going live and conducting those lessons every week for me until I find the time. If you haven’t already taken the dispatcher or freight broker course, sign up so you won’t be lost. They are still priced lower than most courses our competitors offer. If you need a certificate let me know.

Im live now!
