Get the best load matches for your truck.
Understanding the most relevant load for your truck is key to success.
For owner operators, finding the right load match requires you to consider a wide range of factors. You’ll need to find the most suitable lane available, pickup location, type of freight, and the best financial offer. With a broker, owner operators can put load matching into the hands of an efficient professional, and optimize their output every time.

The DAT load board uses on-demand postings to match the newest loads on the market.
The DAT load board allows owner operators to view the most loads of any load board as soon as they’re posted. With on-demand postings, you can get ahead of the competition and secure the right load now. Unlimited searches and posts mean you can refresh your search as often as you need to find the right freight.
Connect with freight brokers looking for owner operators.
The right broker can become a lasting business partner and a major asset to your trucking business.
Once you find a freight broker on the DAT network, you can connect with this business partner for future brokerage needs. Freight brokers benefit from long-lasting clients, and owner operators benefit from efficient load matching. A strong partnership with a broker can lead to efficient load matching and long-term financial savings, helping grow your trucking business.
A freight broker allows you to find the best freight matches as efficiently as possible. Freight brokers are available to communicate with shippers, deliver payments from shippers to truckers, and find the most relevant loads for your truck. The goal of a broker is to save truckers’ money by improving the efficiency of operations securing the best deals.
Many truckers might assume that brokers are just for larger trucking outlets, but owner operators can benefit from brokers just as much as large freight companies do. For an owner operator, brokers can use their insight and connections to secure the most relevant freight for the best prices. Another major advantage of brokers is fast payment — if you’re dealing with slow payment from a shipper, your broker can secure your invoices and deliver payment fast.
If you’re an owner operator, freight brokers will take care of finding shippers. But you’ll still need to find a broker first — that’s where DAT comes in. Your DAT package includes a wide network of brokers from across the country and provides detailed background information on each one. The DAT network allows you to find the best broker for your small trucking company and start doing business fast.
Because freight brokers charge a fee for their services, many owner operators are hesitant to get involved with a broker. However, a reliable broker can help owner operators save money by securing great deals with shippers and processing your payments quickly. To find reliable brokers, the DAT network allows you to contact brokers across the country. We also ensure broker reliability through broker reviews from other truckers on the DAT network.
Finding the most relevant match for your truck is an important part of any trucking operation. With over 400 million loads posted annually, your DAT load board can help you find a great match every time. Your DAT package allows you to access all the loads in your area, as soon as they’re posted. You can set up alerts for load matches and connect with brokers, no matter where you are.
Maximizing your efficiency starts with finding a freight broker for owner operators. But not all brokers are created equal, and an unreliable broker can cause a major headache for truckers on the go. Owner operators can use client reviews, credit and bond histories, and DAT Assurance to find a broker that will save you money.
