Freight brokers are essentially middlemen. They don’t actually haul loads, but they can connect you to carriers who will.
Licensed freight brokers take charge of finding and vetting carriers and ensuring your products make it from point A to point B, so you can concentrate on other important tasks — like managing and growing your business. If you’re looking to save time and stress, use a licensed freight broker!
Which broker you work with can make or break your business. It’s important that you find someone you can trust.
When choosing a broker, you’ll want to read reviews from carriers and other shippers to get a better sense of how trustworthy and responsive they are. Viewing a brokers’ credit and bond histories can also help you choose the right broker for you. With the DAT Directory, you’ll be able to access essential information about freight brokers with just a few clicks, so you can easily determine whether or not to work with a freight broker.
Shippers, brokers, carriers, and owner-operators across the country have trusted and relied on DAT for years — and for good reason. Our origins can be traced to the Jubitz Truck Stop in Portland, Oregon. In 1978, the Dial-A-Truck monitor replaced handwritten cards, and we’ve come quite a long way since then.
With DAT and its load board now conveniently available from any device and location, you can stay on top of the shipping industry with ease. As the largest freight marketplace, we offer a rich array of freight rate and data analytics tools, ensuring you always have the information you need to optimize your shipping operations.
Yes! The DAT Directory is an excellent source for accurate data about freight brokers. Use our platform to read reviews from other shippers and carriers and develop a stronger understanding of a broker before you partner with them to ensure you steer clear of fraudulent brokers.
The DAT Directory also contains MC and DOT numbers, powerful searching capabilities, and contact information, so you can reach out once you find the right broker. This directory is included in all our load boards and applications.
Having up-to-date information about freight brokers’ credit scores and days to pay is great, but plenty of shippers don’t know how to analyze that data and end up partnering with brokers who are struggling financially.
Beyond poor reviews, you’ll want to take note if a broker’s credit score has declined while their average days to pay has increased, as this can indicate financial problems. At the bottom of every company’s page in the DAT Directory, you’ll find a line graph illustrating the broker’s credit score (yellow line) and days-to-pay (blue line). This is designed to make it easier to understand and analyze a freight broker’s trustworthiness and reliability.
By subscribing to DAT’s load board, you will have access to our DAT Directory, where you can easily identify potential freight broker partners. We provide real-time data that allows you to benchmark your costs and broker proposals against the current rates and market averages. You can also filter your search results and monitor your searches to create a list of top-quality brokers.
