Lab · Dispatcher Simulation

Run the load. Learn the decisions.

This is an interactive training sandbox with fictional brokers, fictional rates and sample loads. It does not access a live load board, place calls, send messages, or book freight.

TRAINING ONLY — NO LIVE FREIGHT. All brokers, shipments, amounts and events on this page are invented teaching examples. Never rely on this simulator to verify real operating authority, pricing or appointments.

FICTIONAL BROKER FILE

Practice Broker Alpha (fictional)

For this training scenario, the broker file is marked practice-cleared. In a real shipment, verify authority and identity directly using reliable official data.

I reviewed the fictional broker status, equipment and appointment instructions.

Broker verification is incomplete. Never assume authority based on a load-board listing.

Step 03 / Freight math & negotiation

Know your numbers.

The loaded rate per mile and the total-mile rate can differ significantly because of deadhead. These numbers are gross revenue, not profit.

925

Loaded miles

Deadhead

989

Total miles

$2.27

Rate per loaded mile

$2.12

Rate per all miles (incl. deadhead)

Step 04 / Simulated dispatch

Follow every milestone.

Training status updates are local to your browser. No carrier is dispatched and no customer is contacted.

Clear the broker/equipment checks first.

Agree to a realistic fictional rate to unlock the next step.

Practice broker chat

Text-based role-play.

Simulated dialogue only. This is not AI-generated and will not send a message to anyone.

Choose a practice message below to begin the mock conversation.

Open simulated conversation

Dispatcher: Good morning. I'm calling about SIM-001. Is the load still available?

Broker: This is a training scenario. What equipment and lane are you covering?

Dispatcher: We have a dry van for Chicago to Dallas. Can you confirm the appointment and rate?

Broker: Always verify the rate confirmation and authority before committing.

No microphone, telephone network, recording or AI voice service is connected.
