PORTLAND, Ore. — DAT Freight & Analytics is announcing Load Recommendations, a new feature in the DAT One mobile app that displays a curated set of loads most likely to fit a carrier’s truck, lanes, and operating preferences.
“Finding the right load takes time, and for carriers, that time is unpaid,” said Bill Driegert, executive vice president at DAT. “Load Recommendations now brings their most desirable loads to them quickly, so carriers can spend less time hunting and more time hauling.”
Instead of scrolling through every available load and filtering manually, carriers open the app and see their top opportunities the moment they sign in, with no setup required.
How it Works
Load Recommendations draws on several factors, including the carrier’s equipment types, the lanes they typically run, and how they search for freight and engage with the DAT One marketplace. Then the app prioritizes loads that fit the carrier’s operating pattern and automatically brings them forward.
Recommendations refresh regularly and become more tailored as the carrier uses the app.
Built for the Mobile-First Trucker
“For carriers who run their business from the cab, Load Recommendations delivers a tighter, more relevant set of loads to review at the start of each session; less time spent filtering, comparing and calling on covered freight; and better-aligned routing as the system learns their preferences over time,” DAT said.
Get Started Faster
“Load Recommendations is intended as a faster starting point, not a replacement for the carrier’s own judgment about which loads to call on,” DAT said. “Carriers retain full access to traditional search on DAT One whenever they want to look beyond the recommendations.”
Availability
Load Recommendations is available now to DAT One subscribers in the mobile app. For more information, click here.
