DAT Solutions Expands Spot Truckload Electronic Market
DAT Solutions has announced that Getloaded, a leading load board for smaller freight brokers and carriers, will be integrated into the DAT Network of load boards to create what it calls ‘the industry’s largest and most diverse electronic marketplace for spot truckload freight.”
The combination joins the industry’s leading load boards into a single premier network for van, refrigerated, flatbed, and specialty freight and capacity. Getloaded and DAT – which includes DAT Power, DAT Express, DAT TruckersEdge and OOIDA’s MembersEdge – are both owned by the same company, and have been operating with independent databases operated by DAT.
Getloaded’s carrier customers will have access to four times as many loads per day, while broker customers will be able to find carrier partners by searching the more than 17 million available trucks posted annually to the DAT Network.
“On the spot market, carriers want to choose from as much freight as possible, and brokers want to connect with as many quality trucks that can deliver freight on a lane,” commented Don Thornton, Senior Vice President at DAT. “In this case, bigger really is better.”
DAT will migrate DAT and Getloaded customers to the combined database by year end.
