Get access to millions of loads posted only on DAT.
Match with loads that aren’t available anywhere else, and gain a leg up on the competition.
More than 84 million loads are posted on DAT before they’re posted anywhere else, and millions of them are never posted outside of our network. With more loads than any other load board, the DAT load board package is your key to finding the best matches to keep your trucking business running smoothly.
View loads for any type of vehicle.
We offer more specialty listings than any other load board.
Specialty loads are a crucial part of our transportation industry, and there are plenty of truckers who need to find freight that matches the unique dimensions of their vehicle. DAT posts more specialty listings than any load board, which means you can get loads for cargo vans, box trucks, reefer trucks, and more. Just specify your criteria in the load board search engine and search loads within your radius.
Find trustworthy brokers with detailed broker histories.
Verify brokers using detailed broker data, including customer reviews and broker credit history.
A trustworthy broker can access unlisted loads from shippers, negotiate better rates, and process invoices on time. But there are plenty of risks to getting a broker, especially if you’re an owner-operator on a tight budget. We provide detailed data on each broker, including their credit history, bond history, and reviews by other DAT customers, so you can figure out whether a broker is trustworthy before signing on.
For owner-operators new to the trucking business, the first step to finding loads is a load board. Plenty of load boards are available across the industry, including free and subscription-based options. Truckers can also get their loads from brokers, who are often able to get better loads for better prices through direct contact with shippers. The DAT Load Board offers an unlimited search and post for the largest load board in the industry, along with broker contact info and credit history.
Many truckers start off with LTL (less-than-truckload) vehicles, which carry smaller loads than semi trucks. Box trucks are one of the most common LTL trucks, with a hollow box-like trailer that is attached separately from the cab. Box truck drivers need to find specific loads for their unique dimensions — that’s where the DAT load board comes in. With more specialty loads than any other load board, DAT provides box truck drivers with the best matches in the industry.
Hotshot trucks, like box trucks, are LTL freight vehicles that transport small freight. Hotshot trucking has the added challenge of delivering goods in a narrow time frame, to a single customer. Hotshot loads are often smaller than box truck loads, which means hotshot truckers need a load board with good LTL options for vans and pickups. With the DAT load board, you can filter for loads that fit your hotshot truck’s specific criteria, and get on the road fast.
Our truckers often ask: can I get loads without a broker? The added broker fees can be expensive for new truckers on a tight budget. The answer is: yes! With the DAT load board, owner-operators can find freight directly from shippers on the industry’s largest load board. Plus, the optional DAT Assure feature helps ensure you get paid on time — even if shippers are late with payments.
Getting loads directly from brokers has several advantages for new and experienced truckers alike. Brokers can use exclusive connections with shippers to find matches before they’re listed on the load board, process invoices, negotiate better rates, and more. Brokers typically charge a certain percent of profits from your loads, which means you’ll have to make sure they’re a good investment. With the DAT One or DAT One load board packages, you can view broker credit data and customer reviews, as well as other information to help you choose a trustworthy broker.
You’re looking at it! Posting more loads than any other load board, the DAT load board is the most recommended load board in the industry. Your DAT load board subscription features the best selection of semi truck loads and specialty loads as well as a host of other tools, including average market rates, invoice factoring, load match alarms, and more.
