Find backhaul loads that are more than just filler.

Make backhaul loads a true part of your business with tools that help you find better loads at better rates.

When it comes to backhaul loads, trucking professionals may be hesitant to embrace the true potential of these return trip shipments. With DAT One (Formerly TruckersEdge and DAT Power) load boards, that hesitancy can disappear. The load boards not only have thousands of new loads posted each day — including many that you can use for your backhaul, they also feature the TriHaul tool that offers automatic triangular routing suggestions to reduce deadhead and keep your rate per mile high.
