This week, we announced that the Convoy Platform is joining DAT. It’s a key step in our mission to build a smarter, faster, more connected freight network.
For nearly five decades, DAT has advocated for all players in the freight industry. Our aim is to provide the largest, most trusted and efficient marketplace that empowers brokers and carriers to thrive, because when they succeed, we all succeed. The Convoy Platform fits naturally into this same model — bringing brokers and carriers new ways to work more efficiently, without compromising choice or control.
Why the Convoy Platform, and why now?
Brokers face growing pressure to do more with less. The Convoy Platform helps by automating low-touch, repeatable loads on common lanes — giving brokers more choice, not less. This isn’t about taking the human out of freight; it’s about freeing up time and attention for the loads that need it most. No phone calls. No emails. Just instant, trusted capacity from tens of thousands of verified carriers.
For carriers, it’s a faster, easier way to find and book quality freight. Fewer barriers. Less back-and-forth. More flexibility — so they can stay on the road and in control. With automation and trusted broker partners, carriers can spend less time on busywork and more time moving. The platform helps them build steady lanes, keep trucks full, and get paid fast.
Security is built in. With advanced identity protection and fraud prevention, the Convoy Platform gives brokers and carriers confidence in who they’re working with and helps guard against scams and bad actors.
The real power is in using DAT One with the Convoy Platform
DAT One remains the largest freight marketplace in North America. It gives brokers and carriers unmatched reach, control over who they work with, and the ability to manage complex or relationship-driven freight. It’s core to how freight moves.
Many brokers will use DAT One and the Convoy Platform side by side — automating the loads that don’t need hands-on management, while continuing to rely on DAT One for shipments that require more specialization or relationship-driven decisions. It’s not either/or — it’s both. And together, they give you more options, more control, and more time back.
And we’re just getting started
Bringing DAT One and the Convoy Platform closer together is our vision for the future. Over time, brokers and carriers will have seamless access to both manual and automated freight-matching tools, all in one integrated platform. It’s an approach rooted in supporting the industry as a whole, providing the flexibility and innovation needed to succeed.
No one is better positioned to scale this kind of innovation than DAT. With nearly 50 years of industry leadership, the largest freight marketplace in North America, and a team deeply experienced in freight, data, and technology, we have the scale, talent, and infrastructure to deliver. Our platform spans load matching, real-time visibility, payments, and industry-leading data and analytics.
