There’s a reason DAT is the load board used by the majority of independent owner-operators.
DAT offers the best database of rate info in the country, giving you access to freight of all kinds. The DAT load board shows jobs for dry vans, reefers, flatbeds, and other trailer types, and the inbound/outbound charts let you know where your trucks are needed next. If you don’t typically work with contracts, then the spot freight load board is there for you, too.

The DAT load board contains the most accurate freight rates you’ll find in the industry. We track the going lane rate that brokers have paid over the past 15 or 90 days (depending on your plan), so you can make informed decisions about the loads that are most worth your time.
The load boards are also designed to be easy to use, so you can filter and sort multiple searches on the same screen to compare broker credit scores, days to pay, and reviews from other owner operators. Market maps show you where demand is hot and where to go next.
