Frequently Asked Questions

• Where can I find loads for truckers?
  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.

• How do I bid on loads to haul?
  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.
