Quote with confidence and build trusted shipper relationships
DAT helps you build relationships with reliable partners and access loads that match your business needs — even when you're a solo operation, offering white-glove service as a competitive advantage.
When you’re using DAT’s load board, you can research carriers, review safety records, and verify FMCSA credentials using DAT’s Directory and vetting tools. With access to trusted data and real-time market insights, brokers can pursue the right shipper opportunities and build reliable partnerships with confidence.
Find the right loads to move and grow your business
Use DAT’s load board search tools to find loads that match your business needs.
As a broker, your ability to cover loads efficiently depends on quick access to capacity. DAT’s load board lets you search by lane, equipment type, and rate, helping you match the right carriers to your shippers’ freight — all while working with trusted partners.
Negotiate better rates with DAT’s market insights
Use DAT’s robust rate and market analytics tools to negotiate the rates you deserve.
Tools like RateView and the Market Conditions Index (MCI) give you a 360° view of lane dynamics, helping you understand current rates based on real transactions. That way, you can negotiate confidently with shippers and set competitive rates that protect your margins and win more freight.
Finding new shipper relationships has never been easy. While outdated tactics like cold calls or directories are behind us, building strong partnerships still takes time.
With DAT, you gain a competitive advantage. Our pricing tools help you set accurate, market-driven rates to win more freight and build trust with prospective shippers. Plus, our load board updates in real time, giving you access to current freight listings and broker contacts, helping you operate more competitively — whether you’re prospecting a new region or responding to RFPs.
The DAT Directory is intuitive and easy to use, and it’s included with every DAT load board subscription. You can search for brokers and carriers to find key details like contact information, FMCSA safety ratings, company reviews, and MC or DOT numbers. The Directory makes it easy to vet potential partners and make informed business decisions.
