In just 16 hours you can step into one of the busiest industries in North America — and you will not be doing it from a textbook. This practical-based truck dispatcher course and freight broker training teaches you both sides of the business — truck dispatch training and freight brokerage together — the way we have taught it for more than 10 years through LIVE online classes and in-person classroom training in Canada and the USA.
From your first session you are on the software — practising on all 4 industry software packages, booking loads, negotiating rates, running load boards and preparing the dispatch and brokerage paperwork real professionals handle every day, including ACE and ACI eManifests. A trainer watches live and corrects you the moment something goes wrong. No prior experience is needed: we start at the basics and take you to an advanced, job-ready level, so you can work for a trucking company, join a brokerage, or start your own logistics business.
All options cover the same 16-hour curriculum and full software practical.

This is one of our most popular courses where a trainee learns the best of both the worlds – Trucking Dispatching and Freight Brokerage.
Transportation is one of the most regulated industries in Canada and USA.
Freight Brokers plan and execute shipments by all modes of transport.
Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) is but one layer in U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) multi-layered cargo enforcement strategy.
Our Truck Dispatcher course online and our freight broker training run LIVE with a trainer, and every trainee gets full access to all 4 software packages to practise hands-on — whether you join from home or in our classroom in Toronto or Los Angeles. We are the only training centre that gives LIVE real-time feedback while you practise, so your trainer can guide you the moment you make a mistake instead of days later. Class sizes are deliberately limited, everyone gets one-to-one attention, and questions are encouraged throughout.
As a LoadLink-authorized training centre, our truck dispatcher and freight broker courses are taught by working professionals who consult for some of the biggest logistics companies and work with colleges and universities across North America. You won’t just learn to be a successful Truck Dispatcher and Freight Broker — you’ll learn how to set up, manage and run your own trucking company or brokerage, from authorities and permits to day-to-day operations.
To succeed in logistics you need to see the operation from both viewpoints — we train you in the synergy between dispatcher and broker.
A truck dispatcher is one of the most important people in a trucking company, playing a critical role in daily operations and future growth. From finding profitable loads to negotiating with freight brokers, certified dispatchers directly increase the company’s net profit.
Many trucking companies also run a freight brokerage division to broker loads to other carriers — so this course covers how a trucking company can succeed in brokerage too.
Unlike a dispatcher employed by one carrier, a freight broker (or load broker) works independently with multiple shippers, importers and exporters, and carriers of every size to cover their lanes.
From international trade practices to documentation such as Load Confirmation Sheets and customs clearance, brokers need meticulous attention to detail — and the best practices covered in this course.
Talk to our Training Department about dates, fees and which course option suits you. Ask us anything — we reply within 24 hours.

Everything you need to know before you enroll.
A truck dispatcher coordinates freight shipments for a trucking company. Day to day that means finding and booking loads, negotiating rates with freight brokers, planning routes and driver hours of service, preparing the paperwork and keeping the driver moving profitably. Dispatchers work either inside a carrier or independently for several carriers at once.
A truck dispatcher works for the carrier and keeps its trucks loaded. A freight broker works between shippers and carriers, and is paid on the margin between the buy rate and the sell rate. A broker needs its own FMCSA authority and a surety bond; a dispatcher does not. Our 16-hour course covers both roles, because they share the same load boards, rate confirmations and paperwork.
Yes — this course is built for complete beginners. We start at the basic level, explaining how the trucking industry works, and take you step by step to the advanced level, including live practice on all four software packages. No prior experience in logistics is needed, and people already working in the industry take it too, to move up.
The course is 16 hours in total. You can take it as four half-days online (4 hours a day, Monday to Thursday or over two weekends) or as two full days in our classroom (8 hours a day, Saturday and Sunday).
Truck dispatcher course cost depends on the course option you choose and any promotion running that month. Call MAZE Consultancy & Training at +1-905-826-2919, or toll-free +1-888-315-6293, for current pricing on the online and classroom dispatcher courses.
No licence is required to work as a truck dispatcher in Canada or the USA, and no prior experience is needed for this course. A high-school diploma plus practical training is what most employers look for, and a certificate from a recognized training centre makes your application stronger.
You practise hands-on on four systems. These are a TMS (transport management system), dispatching software, freight brokerage software, and border-crossing software for ACE and ACI eManifests. We are a LoadLink-authorized training centre, so you also practise on a live load board.
Yes. Both cover the same 16-hour curriculum and the same software practicals. In the LIVE online class every trainee gets access to all four software packages and receives real-time feedback from the trainer while practising at home.
Yes. The LIVE online course runs over video with full software access, so you can join from anywhere in Canada or the USA. Classroom courses run in Toronto (Mississauga, Ontario) and Los Angeles, California.
Most likely, yes. Our classroom is at 55 Village Centre Place, Mississauga, Ontario — minutes from Toronto, Brampton, Etobicoke and the rest of the GTA — and we also run classroom training in Los Angeles, California. So if you are searching for a truck dispatcher course near me or a dispatch course near me anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area or Southern California, you can attend in person. If you are further away, the LIVE online dispatcher course covers the identical 16-hour curriculum with the same software practicals, so you can train from anywhere in Canada or the USA.
Yes. Our dispatcher course online is a LIVE class with a real trainer — not pre-recorded videos. You get full access to all 4 software packages from your own computer, practise dispatching, load boards, rate negotiation and ACE/ACI eManifests, and the trainer gives you real-time feedback while you work. Online and classroom trainees receive the same certificate.
The best truck dispatcher training is the training that puts you on the actual software. When you compare courses, check four things: how many hours of hands-on practical you get, whether a LIVE trainer watches and corrects you while you practise, whether the course covers freight brokerage as well as dispatching, and what support you get after certification. Be careful of 6 to 10 hour courses sold with no software practice. Our 16-hour course covers all four software packages with LIVE real-time feedback, teaches both dispatching and brokerage, and is backed by 10+ years of training, 2000+ trainees and 1,950+ five-star Google reviews.
No licence is needed to become a truck dispatcher in Canada or the USA. The route is: learn how the trucking industry and its regulations work, get trained on the software carriers and brokers actually use, then start dispatching. A practical truck dispatcher course is the fastest way to do that — ours takes 16 hours and covers trucking regulations, load boards, rate negotiation, dispatch and TMS software, and ACE/ACI eManifests, then finishes with job support. Many graduates begin by dispatching for one or two owner-operators and build from there.
Yes. Our classroom dispatcher course runs at 55 Village Centre Place, Mississauga, Ontario, which serves trainees from Mississauga, Brampton, Toronto, Etobicoke, Oakville and across the GTA. Weekend classroom batches run every month, and the same truck dispatch training is available as a LIVE online course if you would rather not travel.
Yes. You receive a certificate of completion titled “Truck Dispatcher & Freight Broker Specialist” at the end of the training.
Yes, and many of our trainees do. Employers ask for experience mainly because they don’t want to train someone on the software from scratch — so this course gives you 16 hours of hands-on practice on the same TMS, dispatching, brokerage and eManifest systems they use, plus mock calls with real-life trucking scenarios, which you can talk about confidently in an interview. Our certificate, the LoadLink practice and our post-training support all help, and many graduates start by dispatching for one or two owner-operators, which builds the experience larger carriers look for.
Yes. We provide post-training support, mentorship and job support, and many of our trainees now work for trucking and brokerage companies across North America. Contact us for details of the support programme.
Yes. The course covers setting up a trucking company or brokerage in Canada and the USA, including authorities and permits, FMCSA and MTO rules, owner-operator agreements, and the freight brokerage bond. We also help trainees set these up.
A computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam and a headset or speakers. We send you access to the training software before the class, so there is nothing to install beyond a browser and the meeting app.
Class sizes are deliberately limited so every trainee gets one-to-one attention from the trainer and enough time on the software during the practicals.
Yes. We can move you to the next available batch — just let the Training Department know before your course starts.
An ACE eManifest is the electronic cargo report filed with US Customs before a truck crosses into the USA, and an ACI eManifest is the Canadian equivalent filed with CBSA. Day 4 of the course includes a full practical on creating both.
MAZE Consultancy & Training has trained 2000+ students over more than 10 years and holds 1,950+ five-star Google reviews. Our trainers are working logistics consultants, we are a preferred partner of Loadlink, and every course — online or classroom — includes full software practicals. Beware of 6 to 10 hour courses sold with no software practice.
