Owner operators and drivers
You already have a truck, and you are paying a dispatcher five to ten percent of every load. Learning to dispatch it yourself keeps that money, and you decide which lanes you run.

Learn truck dispatching in clear, plain English
Awahe Academy teaches truck dispatch training in English — live one-on-one classes with an instructor who actually works in freight, plus a recorded video library you can study from at your own pace. Online across the USA, or in person at our Tracy and Fresno campuses in California.
- One-on-oneEvery live class is just you and the instructor
- 3–4 weeksTypical time to finish at a steady pace
- 1 yearAccess to classes, videos and course material
- 7 days a weekLive classes 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM Pacific
Every class is live and one-on-one with an instructor, and you also get a recorded video library you can watch whenever you want.
You will learn: finding loads on the load boards, talking to brokers, negotiating rates, DOT compliance, rate confirmations and paperwork, and getting paid on time.
You get a certificate when you finish. Your live classes, the video library and all course material stay open for a full year from enrolment. Train from home on Zoom, or come into the Tracy or Fresno campus.
Why Train With Us in English
Dispatching is a job you do on the phone. You negotiate rates with brokers, explain problems to drivers and read contracts under time pressure. What decides whether you are good at it is not a qualification — it is whether you have actually practised those calls with someone who has made them.
That is what the one-on-one format is for. You are not watching a recording of someone else asking the questions. And because plenty of our students speak English as a second language, classes are taught in plain, clear English — no jargon for the sake of it, and your instructor will slow down or go over something again as many times as you need.
Live Classes Plus a Recorded Video Library
Your scheduled classes are live and one-on-one with an instructor — not a recording, not a room of thirty people. You ask your own questions and work at your own pace.
Alongside them you get our recorded video library covering the full syllabus, so you can go over a topic again in your own time, as many times as you need. Both the library and your course material stay open for a full year from enrolment.

Online, or In Person in Tracy and Fresno

Who This Suits
Most of our students fall into two groups.
Working from home in logistics
You want into freight without buying a truck. Dispatchers work from a laptop and a phone, taking carrier clients on a percentage of what they book.

Is the course taught in English?
Yes. Every live class is taught in English by an instructor who works in freight. A lot of our students speak English as a second language, so classes are taught in plain, clear English rather than jargon, and your instructor will slow down or go back over anything as many times as you need — that is the advantage of one-on-one.
If you would rather be taught in your first language, we run the same course in Punjabi and Hindi.
Do I need a CDL, a degree or freight experience?
No. Most students start with none of the three. Dispatching is an office job done on the phone and the computer, so there is no CDL and no truck required. If you have never worked in freight, the course starts from the beginning.
How long does the training take?
Most students finish in three to four weeks at a steady pace. There are no cohorts and no set start dates — you begin the day you enrol and book classes around your own schedule. Your classes, the recorded video library and all course material stay open for a full year from enrolment, so you can go back over anything after you finish.
Can I take the classes from outside California?
Yes. Live classes run on Zoom and we teach students across the USA, seven days a week between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM Pacific, so there is a slot that fits most work schedules.
If you are in California and would rather learn face to face, both campuses teach in English: see Tracy, Fresno, or our statewide California guide.
What does the training cost?
It depends which course you take — dispatch on its own, or the owner operator package that also sets up your trucking business. Current prices are listed on each course page and on our pricing page, and there is a discount for paying by Zelle.
If you want to try before you spend anything, the free beginner course and the free demo class both cost nothing.
Do I get a certificate at the end?
Yes. You receive a certificate of completion once you finish the course, and you keep access to your instructor, the recorded library and the course material for a year afterwards, so support does not stop the day you finish.
Can I try a class before I pay?
Yes. Book a free demo class and sit in on a real lesson in English before you decide. You can also work through the free truck dispatcher course for beginners first to see whether the work suits you.
Can I dispatch my own truck after the course?
Yes, and that is why a lot of owner operators take it. Dispatching your own freight means you stop paying another dispatcher five to ten percent of every load. The owner operator package covers the dispatch training plus setting up the business side — authority, compliance and paperwork.
