Lesson 1 of 6Practice step next

Built by a former carrier owner, dispatcher and transportation director.

Every rate, fee and rule on screen carries its source and its date.

Practice built in: a step to do on your own desk in every lesson.

The problem, said plainly

Searching a load board is the easy part.

A new dispatcher needs three more things. Loadstone is built around them.

01

The legal line

There is no federal dispatcher license. There is federal guidance, published June 16, 2023, on when a dispatch service is a carrier's agent and when it is acting as a broker without authority. The difference is what you do with the money, the contract and the choice of truck.

02

This year's market

Rates, fuel, fraud and load-board rules all moved in 2025 and 2026. A dispatcher has to read the market as it is this week.

03

Clients

Knowing how to book a load is not a business. Finding a carrier who trusts you with their truck, and keeping them, is.

The promise

The compliant-dispatcher standard.

Five commitments you sign before you dispatch a load. The first four come from FMCSA's factors. The fifth is ours.

What the standard is not: a license, a certificate or a guarantee. No “dispatcher license” exists; FMCSA's guidance of June 16, 2023 covers dispatch services and creates none. This program is education, not legal advice.

Fit

Who it is for, and who it is not for.

It is for you if

you are new to trucking and want to learn the dispatch desk from the start;
you drive, or you are family or office staff at a small carrier, and you want to run the desk;
you already dispatch and want to know where the federal line sits and how to stay on the carrier's side of it;
you will do the work: every lesson ends with a step on your own desk or your own documents.

It is not for you if

you want a promise of income. There is none here;
you want a license or an official credential. None exists for dispatchers, and this program does not issue one;
you want to arrange freight as a broker without broker authority. Module 2 explains why that is the line;
you want legal advice about your own business. That is your attorney's job; the program tells you what to bring them.

What you will have finished

Not hours watched. Work you can open and show.

Day30

MODULES 0 TO 3

Your signed standard, a legal-line self-check of your own business plan, your business basics and written fee sheet, and a dispatch service agreement filled in and with your own attorney.

Day60

MODULES 4 TO 7

Four weekly market briefs, five brokers vetted from public records, ten load comparisons with the math shown, and twenty practice broker calls.

Day90

MODULES 8 TO 11

A full week planned for one truck, your daily desk routine, your carrier onboarding packet, your 30-day first-client plan, the final exam, and a desk audit of one full week.

These are the program's checkpoints, not results it promises. The pace is yours.

Straight answers

Questions people ask first.

Is truck dispatching legal? Do I need a license?

There is no federal dispatcher license. A dispatch service that works as a motor carrier's agent does not need broker authority; a business that arranges freight as a broker does. FMCSA's guidance of June 16, 2023 lists the factors that separate the two. Module 2 teaches them one by one. Nothing in this program is legal advice, and it cannot tell you that your own business is on the right side. It teaches you what the factors are and what to take to your attorney.

How much will I make?

We do not know, and nobody who tells you a number does either. It depends on the market, the carriers you serve, and the work you put in. This program makes no income promise.

I have never worked in trucking. Is this for me?

Yes. Module 1 starts at who is who. It is also built for drivers, owner-operators' family members and carrier office staff who already know the trucks and want the desk.

Is there a certificate or a license at the end?

No license, because none exists for dispatchers. The program ends with a final exam and a desk audit of your own work. Neither is a government credential.

Is everything open on the first day?

Modules 0 through 6 are. Modules 7 through 11 open week by week after the cohort opens.

Will you show me the load boards?

The load-board lessons use the boards' own public material and practice screens with invented loads, labelled as mock. We do not record or resell any board's live data. You will learn how a dispatcher gets board access properly.

Is the voice a real person?

The narration is AI-assisted. The material comes from years of running and dispatching trucks, combined with current research, and every dated fact shows its source.

What is the guarantee?

A 14-day money-back guarantee on the program.

What happens after 90 days?

Your included 90 days of the Desk end. If you want to keep the Desk, it is $79 a month.

About

Loadstone is built by a former carrier owner, dispatcher and transportation director: one of the original twelve who helped build a freight brokerage from the ground up into a company that now does over $1 billion a year.

The lessons pair field rules from that work with current, cited research. The narration is AI-assisted. There is no on-camera instructor and no invented one.
