DAT-Authority

We make getting your authority quick and easy

Everything you need—all in one place

There's nothing more freeing than operating under your own authority. But getting that authority is not so simple. You may have to deal with up to eight federal and state agencies and fill out multiple application forms.

Let DAT Authority guide you through the entire process. Our experienced authority representatives will help get you up and running quickly and affordably. Whether you need authority to be a carrier, a broker, or a broker/carrier, we offer packages that match your needs. You can even select from our à la carte menu to pick individual services.
