An honest look

Is Dispatcher 101 Worth It?

Only you can answer that, so here are the facts: what $299 buys, what no course can do for you, and how to test it before you commit.

What you get

What $299 Buys on the Gold Plan

  • 10 sections, 129 lectures. From the parties involved and operations setup to finding freight, booking your first load and marketing your services.
  • 50+ hours of video. Pre-recorded lessons you watch at your own pace.
  • 300+ pages of written lessons. Read along, or look a topic up again when you need it.
  • 100+ templates and resources. Agreements, scripts and other documents ready to use.
  • 1-on-1 mentorship with Joe Piazza. Ask questions by email, phone or chat, or with the Ask Joe a Question form on your student dashboard.
  • Certificate of Completion. Issued by Dispatcher 101 when you finish the lessons and the graded quiz. It is not a government license.
  • 12 months of load board access. Put the Finding Freight lessons into practice.
  • Lifetime access. The course materials stay available to you, with no deadline to finish.
  • 14-day money-back guarantee. If the course isn’t right for you, ask for a full refund within 14 days.
Good to know: everything on this list is the Gold plan, $299 paid once.
Straight talk

What a Course Can’t Do for You

Any honest answer about value has to include the limits. Here they are.

  • It can’t promise income. No course can tell you what you will earn. That depends on you, the carriers you work with and the loads you book.
  • It can’t find carriers for you. You find your own carriers. The course teaches how to approach them, but the calls are yours to make.
  • It can’t do the daily work. Dispatching means phone calls, rate talks with brokers and paperwork, every working day.
Good to know: a dispatcher works for the carrier, and the carrier needs its own operating authority (MC/USDOT) to haul freight for hire.

Gold or Silver

What About the Monthly Plan?

Gold is $299, paid once, and includes everything listed above. Silver is $55 a month and comes to $499 in total. It has the video and written lessons and 1-on-1 mentorship, but it leaves out four things: the Certificate of Completion, load board access, the resources, agreements and scripts, and industry referrals. The 14-day money-back guarantee covers Gold only.

If you can pay $299 at once, Gold costs $200 less and includes more. Not sure? Use the plan picker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plain answers before you spend $299.

We can’t promise that, and no honest course can. The course teaches how dispatching works and how to do the job. What you earn depends on you, your carriers and the loads you book.

No. The course is beginner friendly and starts with the basics in Section 1, then builds up to finding freight and booking your first load.

On the $299 Gold plan, you can ask for a full refund within 14 days. The guarantee does not cover the Silver plan. Read the guarantee.

Gold includes lifetime access to the course materials. Work through them at your own pace and come back to any lesson later.
