What you'll learn
One profession. Four skills.
A Professional Logistics Service Provider can find the freight, win it, move it and build the carrier that hauls it. You learn all four, in order, because each one depends on the one before it.
- 01
Freight researcher
The heartWhere is the freight? Learn this first. Capacity always follows freight, never the other way around.
- 02
Freight broker
The reachThe license is a tool, not the skill. The skill is the research, the relationships and the deal you keep.
- 03
Dispatcher
The handsMoving real freight for real carriers, every day, without crossing the line that gets you shut down.
- 04
Carrier builder
The destinationOne carrier becomes capacity, capacity becomes a business, and the business keeps trucks alive.
Compliance runs through all four. It is the backbone of the training, not an afterthought.
The certificate
Finish free. Then earn the PLSP.
The course is free. The Professional Logistics Service Provider certification is an optional $125 step after it: a real certification backed by Freight University, Logistical Forwarding Solutions and the PLSP organization.
- Optional, $125. Take it when you are ready. The free course never requires it.
- A real exam. Online, multiple choice plus business scenarios. Passing score: 85% or higher.
- A personal results call. Your results, your strengths, and a study plan if you need a retake.
- Your certificate. By mail or as a digital download.
- Public verification. A credential page with a unique verification number and QR code, for resumes, employer checks and customer bids.

Who built it
25 years in trucking, taught in a circle.
Freight University is offered by Logistical Forwarding Solutions LLC, a logistics consulting, education and development firm with 25 years in the industry.
A trucking company fighting to stay open should not have to buy the knowledge that keeps it open. So the whole course is free. The only paid step is the optional $125 PLSP certificate.
Most schools teach a straight line, and a straight line has an end. Nothing in trucking stops: the load you move today tells you where the freight is tomorrow.
After you learn it
See the circle run as software.
LFS AOS is the AI logistics operating system from Logistical Forwarding Solutions. It runs the same circle you learn here, and a load is never booked without your approval.

Questions, answered.
Is Freight University really free?

Who is it for?
Freight brokers and agents, dispatchers, freight researchers, trucking companies and owner-operators. Everyone learns every skill, because the profession is one circle.
Do I need experience in trucking?
No. The training starts from the ground up: what a freight broker, dispatcher and carrier do, then the licenses, compliance and the deal, chapter by chapter.
How does the PLSP exam work?
After the free course you can sit for the online exam: multiple choice plus business scenarios, with a passing score of 85% or higher. You get a results call, your certificate by mail or download, and a public verification page.
