DAT is the best load board for truckers and offers the largest selection of freight in the industry. No matter where you are or what type of trailer and capacity you have, you can find a load that matches your needs with DAT. Plus, you’ll no longer have to spend time calling up every broker or supplier in the area to find loads.

Negotiate the best rates for your loads.
Use DAT’s powerful rate and market analytics tools to get the best rates.
Negotiating fair load rates can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. Thanks to DAT’s load board, you can say goodbye to spending hours researching lane rates, various states’ load densities, and more. DAT offers market data based on real invoices, so you can easily secure more loads and increase your profit margin to get ahead of the competition.
Do business with trustworthy brokers.
Who you do business with matters, so make sure you’re working with reputable brokers.
As a trucker, you should always vet brokers before doing business with them. After all, you don’t want to drive a thousand miles to deliver a load only to find out that your broker won’t pay you for another six months. That’s where DAT can help. With DAT, you can see brokers’ client reviews, credit history, average time to pay, and more, so you know exactly who you’re working with.
The DAT load board has the largest selection of loads in the industry, making it the best truck load board available. Whether you need a load for a small truck, a box truck, or a flatbed truck, DAT has you covered. Millions of new truck loads are posted on DAT boards each week, so you’ll be able to quickly find a load that suits your needs — no matter where you are or where you want to go.
Picking up the right loads means charging an appropriate load rate. If you charge a rate that’s too low for your lane, you’re leaving money on the table. However, if you charge a rate that’s too high for your lane, you might lose out on the load to a trucker charging less. DAT load boards’ market rate estimates can give you a great starting place as you find the perfect price.
As a trucker, you should use supply and demand to your advantage to get the best rates. Try to plan routes in states with a limited supply of truckers and a high demand to get the most leverage during negotiations. Supply and demand are constantly shifting, from day to day and from lane to lane, but DAT’s load boards can help you find where your services are needed the most. You’ll be able to view the states that trucks are leaving and entering from and plan your routes accordingly.
Data is practically useless if it isn’t accurate and updated. The good news is you can trust DAT’s data. We automatically collect rate data from our partners’ transportation management systems each day and take steps to validate it and scan for errors or outliers. As a result, we have accurate average rate data for more than 68,000 lanes across the country.
We know that one missed payment can be devastating to small trucking businesses. That’s why we offer guaranteed payment with DAT Assurance to our DAT trucker load board subscribers at no additional cost. If you pick a qualified load and don’t receive your payment within 60 days, we’ll try to collect the debt on your behalf. If we can’t do so within 120 days, we’ll credit your account up to $1,000, depending on your subscription level, so you can rest easy.
When it comes to saving time and growing their trucking businesses, countless truckers trust DAT. With a large database of companies, millions of exclusive load listings each year, and real-time load boards, DAT is an invaluable tool for truckers and owner-operators.
DAT has also partnered with OTR Solutions to offer even faster payments. Instead of waiting months for a broker to pay you, you can sell your invoice to OTR and receive funds within just 24 hours.
