From the desk of David Scandlyn, Director of Broker Sales
For those I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet, I’m David Scandlyn, Director of Broker Sales at DAT. While you might be accustomed to Mike’s friendly greeting here, after years of dedicated service, he’s handed the reins of the broker newsletter introduction over to me!
It’s an exciting time at DAT, and for both the new and familiar faces, I’m honored to connect with you here.
This month’s broker newsletter is, as always, full of valuable insights. We’re covering market dynamics, bringing you fresh episodes from DAT’s podcasts, offering practical strategies to combat fraud, and sharing the exciting news about special equipment types in DAT One.
For me, this business is all about people and the freight they trust us with. If I can be a resource in helping you build for the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Until next time,
David
