The Baltimore bridge collapse proved – at great cost – what we already knew: our industry is a complex, sporadic web of interactions that can be difficult to navigate. 

Below, you’ll find examples of DAT tools that make that navigation simpler. You’ll see demos of Market Conditions Index (MCI) and discussions about how to use tools like LaneMakers to pivot out of uncertainty with confidence.

Product spotlight: Market Conditions Index (MCI)

We built our Market Conditions Index for unpredicatable events similar to the Baltimore bridge incident. With MCI, brokers get a 360-degree view of the freight marketplace. Around the industry, it’s characterized as the definitive metric for truckload supply and demand. It highlights seasonality shifts, geographically normalized search and post behavior, and accounts for inbound and outbound volume – it’s a broker’s best friend.
