Here’s to you! And us (see below)…

April 18 was Customer Appreciation Day, but we’re going to continue to celebrate our customers for the entire month of April. Why not more than just one day, right?

In this month’s DAT broker newsletter, you’ll see some featured customer stories to help inspire you, tips to spring clean your online life, market updates to keep your business up-to-speed with what is happening, and new ways to stay ahead of the competition. 

Plus we’d like to invite you to a couple of events built specially for you: 

  • Our next Launch & Learn
  • DATCON25 registration is officially open! And, as a special thank you for our customers, we’re giving all of our customers access to our Early Bird ticket prices.

Lastly, DAT celebrates our 47th birthday this month. Forty…seven. For almost 5 decades we’ve strived to serve you in support of your business goals, whether it be access to the industry’s largest capacity network, waterfall tracking of your customers’ loads, or rate benchmarking to ensure you’ve got your finger on the pulse of the market. We’ve come a long way together, from pushing buttons on truckstop load monitors to now leveraging cutting edge AI, we’ll always be here for you. It might be time to begin party planning for our 50th!

Thank YOU for working with us. We couldn’t do it without you!
