Only work with trustworthy shippers.
Expand your network by finding reliable shippers to work with.
Some shippers don’t pay on time. Others have questionable practices or are simply more of a hassle to work with than they’re worth. Thanks to DAT, you can search for direct loads from shippers you already trust and avoid the headaches that come with doing business with unreliable shippers. Work with the best shippers out there every time with DAT!
Find the loads you want.
Use the DAT Directory to find suitable loads from shippers you want to work with.
In addition to helping you find reliable shippers to do business with, DAT can help you find loads that match your needs. Whether you want a high-paying load, a cross-country drive, or a load with an in-state destination, you’ll be able to filter through DAT’s extensive load board to find the perfect load with a shipper you trust.
Negotiate the best rates with DAT’s deep insights.
Use DAT’s robust rate and market analytics tools to negotiate the rates you deserve.
As a freight broker, carrier, or owner-operator, it can be all too easy to overestimate or underestimate a fair price for your services if you don’t keep up with the current going rate. If you need to submit a request for proposal (RFP) to a shipper, you may find yourself losing out on business because your RFP isn’t competitive enough. Luckily, DAT’s rate and market analytics tools can help you secure the best rates in the business.
Trying to find shippers for loads hasn’t always been easy. In the past, you may have needed to consult your files or the telephone book to find freight shippers and get loads. The good news is you don’t have to rely on these outdated practices anymore.
The DAT load board has an extensive directory, so you’ll be able to view shippers around the country effortlessly. Plus, we update our load boards in real time, so you’ll have access to the most recent freight listings at any given moment.
The DAT Directory is intuitive and simple to use, and every DAT application and load board includes the DAT Directory for free. You can find information on any shipper, broker, or carrier — from contact information to carrier FMCSA safety ratings — in this directory. You can also see what other people are saying by checking out company reviews or viewing a carrier or broker’s MC and DOT numbers.
If you’re using DAT Express, click Tools, then Search DAT Directory, and if you’re using the DAT Power load board, just click Directory to access the DAT Directory.
