DAT to offer a 30-day free trial of DAT One app for truckers at Mid-America Trucking Show

BEAVERTON, Ore., March 15, 2023 — DAT Freight & Analytics announced that it will offer a 30-day free subscription of its popular DAT One load board to attendees of the Mid-America Trucking Show, which will be held March 30-April 1 in Louisville, Ky.

DAT One empowers truckers to grow their businesses using the industry’s largest marketplace for spot truckload freight, with 2.5 times more loads than any other load board. Product demonstrations and sign-ups for the free 30-day subscription will be available at the DAT booth (#65216) in the West Wing of the Kentucky Expo Center.

“For a driver to be profitable, the first thing you should do is check the DAT One load board to see where the high-dollar loads are,” said Chamaine “Boss Lady” Jeffers, an owner-operator of 20 years and CEO of CDL4Life. “You can also see where the load is going and if the area is saturated with trucks. These are the things you need to know so you can turn a profit, and DAT One makes it easy.”

DAT will host a range of opportunities for truckers to learn how to improve their business and celebrate their vital role in the industry:
