Find out why DAT has been the #1 choice for owner operators since 1978.
Make your operations more efficient.
DAT’s freight matching service includes automatic routing and factoring features to help make your job simpler and more profitable.
Every load finder subscription includes access to posting and searching, and we also offer premium features for larger operations. Capabilities like DAT TriHaul provide automatic triangular routing suggestions to help minimize deadhead, while average rate data across all lanes helps ensure you are getting paid a competitive rate.
Lowboy trailers are outfitted to move loads that, due to legal height limits, are too tall to transport on flatbed trucks. A lowboy’s main deck sits between the front and rear wheels, lowering the height of the load as much as possible. These trailers are ideal for moving large machinery and construction equipment. DAT’s lowboy load finder is the preferred choice for owner operators looking to find lowboy loads.
LTL stands for “less than truckload” and refers to smaller loads that don’t use the full capacity of a truck. This allows a driver to pick up multiple LTL loads simultaneously, which can help keep deadhead low and fill extra space. LTL loads are different from hotshot loads, which are small loads that need to be rapidly delivered over short distances. DAT’s boards include comprehensive LTL load finder capabilities, as well.
DAT’s freight load finder tools help you find the highest paying loads on your preferred lanes. However, we know that market rates alone don’t provide all the information you need to make informed business decisions — that’s why we offer detailed broker information for each listing. Well-paying but distant loads might not be worth the money in the end — but with tools like our triangular routing feature, you can expand your service routes in strategic and profitable ways
DAT’s load finders are available at several price points, designed to provide owner-operators and carriers with capabilities best suited to their business size. Our Standard plan includes the core load finder features and broker information, while our Enhanced, Pro, Select, and Office plans offer more advanced capabilities to help manage larger fleets more efficiently. We bill month to month with no long-term contracts, so you get access to the capabilities you need without overcommitting.
We do! Our paid load board plans will of course give you unrestricted access to the largest trucking network in the business, but we do offer a free load board demo and free DAT One app. If you find that these free freight apps are helpful, you’re bound to love the comprehensive set of logistical tools you’ll get with a paid subscription.
Subscriptions to the DAT truck load finder include more than useful tools and broker information. The DAT Assurance program guarantees that you receive payment for all authorized loads found on our network — and we’ll even help you collect if a client is past due. We provide access to rapid invoice factoring services, and our team at DAT Authority can help with all things related to MC and USDOT numbers, registration, paperwork, and more.
