      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      I want to thank God for giving me the heart to help people WIN! This guide is a testament of the vision and focus that I have daily. Without tapping into the source of positivity and strength, I would not have been able to push through and complete this.

      So, You Want to Be a Dispatcher?

      The trucking industry generates billions of dollars in revenue on an annual basis. It is currently worth almost $800 billion and survived the COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2020 while generating approximately $747 billion. There are 8+ million people employed by the trucking industry and truck drivers make more than the average American household. On average, a truck driver drives 100k miles per year.

      Why does any of this matter?

      While there is a significant shortage of truck drivers, the industry is expected to experience continued growth, and this will impact our economy in a fantastic way. As a dispatcher, we can assist with driving the economy forward by connecting motor carriers with great opportunities. Our impact on the economy is derived from our ability to build a network within the trucking industry. Our network consists of brokers, shippers, and carriers. The opportunities for a dispatcher, in an industry that moves 70% of all goods in the U.S., are endless. This industry will never disappear.

      Dispatching does NOT require:

      a college degree.

      an office setting.

      a supervisor or boss.

      a full 8-hour workday.

      Dispatching does require:

      commitment to clients and patience with the process.

      effective communication and diligence.
