Many new trucking companies purchase expensive dispatch software before understanding what their operation actually needs.

A TMS can improve efficiency, but the right system depends on your fleet size, freight type, customers, routes, and whether you operate within Canada, the USA, or across the border.

For a small operation, starting with organized Excel templates may be more practical. Once you understand your daily challenges, you can choose a TMS that fits your business instead of paying for features you do not use.

Do you need to buy a truck before applying for a CVOR in Ontario?

The answer is no. In Ontario, you can apply for your Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration before buying or registering the commercial vehicle.

The process is different in Alberta.

Do you need a special licence or certification to work as a truck dispatcher in Canada or the USA?

For most entry-level truck dispatcher positions, you generally do not need a specific truck dispatching licence or professional certification. Employers commonly look for communication skills, computer knowledge, attention to detail and some understanding of trucking operations.

Formal training is not always mandatory, but practical training and post-training support can help you understand load booking, rate negotiation, carrier communication and day-to-day dispatch operations.
Independent dispatching requires additional knowledge, especially when working with carriers operating in the United States. You must understand the difference between providing dispatch services for a carrier and performing activities that may be considered freight brokerage.

Training can improve your knowledge and preparation, but it does not guarantee employment or business success.

Quick trucking quiz: what is a carrier packet actually used for?

A carrier packet is mainly used to onboard a carrier with a freight broker during the carrier setup process.
It usually includes important documents such as operating authority, certificate of insurance, safety registration, tax forms, broker-carrier agreement, and payment details.

For new dispatchers and carriers, understanding carrier packets is important because incomplete or incorrect setup paperwork can delay load booking.

A new dispatcher should not focus only on handling more trucks.
The real question is: can you manage each truck properly?
Load boards, rate negotiation, driver communication, paperwork, tracking, lanes, and broker updates all take time. For beginners, even 1 to 3 trucks can feel like a lot. With experience and strong systems, some dispatchers may manage more, but taking on too many trucks too early can create serious problems.
Focus on systems first. Growth should come after your process is strong.

New dispatchers often make one big mistake: they look only at the rate.

A load may pay $1,200 and look good on the board, but after you check deadhead, fuel, tolls, waiting time, driver hours, appointment times, and reload options, it may not make sense.

Experienced dispatchers do not only ask, “How much does it pay?”

They ask, “What is the real profit after cost, time, and risk?”

Before booking any load, always run the full picture.

In freight brokerage and logistics sales, talking too much can actually hurt your chances.

When you call a shipper, do not start by pushing your services. Start by asking better questions. Learn what they ship, which lanes they move, and what problems they are facing with their current carriers or brokers.

That is how you build trust and offer a real solution.
