Every load board says it has the most loads. Can you prove it?
Yes, we can. Our numbers are audited, so you know they’re accurate.
- 68 million loads and trucks posted every year
- 45 million posted to DAT first, or nowhere else
- Find more loads for the lanes you run
How can DAT help me get loads before anyone else?
DAT gives you the fastest service in the industry.
- Load postings are available to you instantly with DAT Active Search
- Get updates when new loads are posted that match your trucks by setting an alarm
- Other load boards take 15 seconds or longer to update—that’s the difference between closing the deal missing the load
Load boards waste my time with load postings that have already been gone for days.
Unlike other load boards, DAT isn’t padded with old information to make it look better.
- DAT’s Active Search tells you when new loads are posted
- Active Search will automatically remove loads that are no longer available
- Load providers refresh loads on DAT manually, you won’t find loads that have been gone for days
