Local companies place a high value on the ability to communicate with East African truck drivers. Your language skills are important… and valuable!
You will learn how to:

Coordinate. Dispatchers are the coordinators between the driver, the supplier, and the customer.
Communicate. You will learn how to speak with drivers and logistics professionals both digitally and by phone.
Track. Dispatchers use software systems to track shipments to make sure they arrive on time.
Problem Solve. Sometimes drivers have mechanical issues, or suppliers are not ready with shipments. You’ll learn how to solve these kinds of problems.
Negotiate. Dispatchers make money by taking a percentage of every shipment. They negotiate the fees between the supplier and the driver. The better you are at negotiating the more money you make. Our training with teach you to be the best negotiator possible.
