Freight broker program

I first took the 15 min mentoring session with Ronen and et. I loved it. he answered emails even before I got the session. I purchased the freight broker program. I am glad I did. Alot is explained and easy to understand. Look forward to progressing on this journey.

This Course Is Shaping How We Build Our Technology

This dispatch training program is an absolute standout. As someone deep in the freight and logistics space, I was already familiar with Ronen Gilkarov's reputation — but going through this course firsthand exceeded my expectations. His command of the industry is remarkable, and the way he breaks down the nuances of dispatching makes complex concepts genuinely accessible.

Our team is currently developing a new TMS platform we believe will bring meaningful change to how freight operations are managed, and this program has directly shaped some of our core thinking. The insights here aren't just educational — they're actionable. We've walked away with a sharper understanding of the real-world workflows our technology needs to support.

If you're serious about dispatching, or building anything in this space, don't skip this. It's one of the best investments we've made.

Best Value Course with Strong Foundation

This is definitely the best course in terms of quality, time, and value for money in the market. It provides a solid foundation and covers all the basics needed to get started in dispatching. The instructors are clear and very good at explaining the material.

I would have liked to see more real-life examples, such as a full walkthrough on how to evaluate if a route is worth it and how to estimate a driver’s 70-hour cycle in real scenarios.

Also, one video mentions the course costs $100, which is no longer accurate and should be updated.

It would be a great addition to include a downloadable onboarding package (PDF) and a video on how to create value as a dispatcher and stand out as a company.

Overall, a very strong course, especially for beginners.

Strategy Discussion call with Ronen

I enjoyed talking with Ronen. His industry knowledge is exceptional. I used his advice on my business.

Comprehensive Training for Aspiring Dispatchers

Overall, I found the course to be highly informative and well-structured. The curriculum covered essential topics which provided me with a solid foundation in the industry.as it allowed me to apply the concepts in a real-world context I also appreciated the instructor's expertise in the industry.I would recommend this course to anyone looking to start their career as a trucking dispatcher or to those seeking to sharpen their current skills.

The best Course for the Money

I decided to take Ronen’s freight broker course and found it very interesting from start to finish. Even coming from a different field, everything was explained in a way that made sense. I learned a lot about how freight brokerage actually works in the real world, not just the theory.

What stood out to me most is that Ronen is actively running his own trucking company and brokerage, so the information is practical and up to date. You can tell this is based on experience, not just slides.

The course really opened my eyes to the opportunities in this space, and it gave me confidence that this is a path I can transition into. I’m now seriously considering joining the mentorship program so I can work more closely with Ronen and continue building in this direction.

Overall, I’m very happy I took the course and I’m excited about what’s next.
