What can you do when capacity is tight on a specific lane—or you’re competing with other brokers to secure a truck for a shipper’s “can get” load?
A great way to be proactive and research who is working in the lanes you need is to use the DAT LaneMakers® tool in the DAT Power load board.
- Shows the top 20 companies for truck or load posts in the past 30 days.
- Includes city to city, state to state, or region to region searches.
- Filter searches by equipment, such as flatbed, or search for a specific trailer type, such as stepdeck or removable gooseneck.
- See company contact information, office location, star rating, and equipment type.
- See if the company has a truck or load posted in the lane right now.
- Integrates with the DAT Directory, so brokers can verify each carrier’s operating authority, safety ratings and insurance coverage details.
- Includes “preferred” and “blocked” icons to alert you to the companies you like to work with — or want to avoid.
