Business Set-Up & Management

In addition to helping people get a job at an existing trucking company, we also include information for those that want to start their own trucking business, now or in the future. Our course covers topics such as record keeping, negotiation, business growth, accounting, and account management.

The transportation industry is one of the most heavily regulated. Whether you’re looking to step into a trucking dispatch role or start your own business, it’s important to understand all of the documents and policies you need to follow in order to be compliant. Our dispatch training course covers key compliance issues such as border crossing, authorities, permits, and certifications.

You’ll no longer be a beginner by the time you finish this course!
