11yrs ago today (or well yesterday Aug 11th 2012) I completed cdl training with Swift in Phoenix, AZ. I'm not sure when/where time went, but it doesn't feel like it's been 11yrs. I can still remember being the rookie (still am) on the forums here going through the amazing High Road Training program that Brett put together and honestly, really just wanted to thank you Brett, for what you've done. I don't think Id be where I am today in my career if it wasn't for this site and the amazing resource's. Here's to hoping I can pass the hazmat test in a few weeks after I complete that section of the High Road after all these years :D lol. Anyways, Thanks again, and those of you who are new to trucking or wanna get started, This site is a pile of gold.

David

Welcome back David!!

I have been on this site (2 accounts - one expired) since 2012 also. Agreed, it is a goldmine and without the resources and feedback to prepare mentally for what this job requires I don't think I'd have gotten too far without TT.

Dm:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
