DAT Unveils Upgrades to Popular Load Board
DAT Solutions announced significant upgrades to DAT TruckersEdge, the company’s popular load board for independent owner-operators and small fleets. The changes and new features are designed to make it faster for truckers to find the right loads and negotiate terms.
The launch comes at a time of unprecedented freight demand. Over 161 million loads were posted on DAT load boards in 2017, and freight volume during February 2018 was among the highest reported during the month in 20 years.
“These upgrades to TruckersEdge come at a time when available load volume continues to exceed seasonal levels, and demand for trucking services is expected to grow in the weeks and months to come,” said Neerav Shah, VP Products at DAT.
The new TruckersEdge incorporates the latest search technologies used by the leading web browsers, with auto-populated fields personalized to fit the user’s needs.
Dispatchers and drivers can also save time by identifying favorite searches, setting alarms for automatic notification when a new load matches their preferences, and sorting search results with one click. They can even sort search results by the offer rate posted by the freight broker.
A new dashboard also gives users a real-time view of inbound and outbound load volume in every state, so they can see where their equipment is most in demand, plus a feed of trending trucking industry news.
These latest improvements come soon after the addition of DAT TruckersEdge Pro, which includes average spot market rates based on actual transactions from the past 15 days, plus DAT TriHaul, a routing tool that suggests better-paying round trips based on the lane searched.
DAT TruckersEdge subscriptions include a free smartphone app, DAT Load Board for Truckers, available from Google Play for Android devices, and from the Apple App Store for iPhones and iPads.
DAT TruckersEdge is now available at truckersedge.dat.com.
