TransCore load boards offer variety in truck types, fleet sizes

Need a flat? You'll find it faster on a TransCore load board. Powered by the legendary DAT® Network, TransCore's freight matching services offer the industry's most varied selection of trucks, by equipment type and carrier fleet size.

As part of the company's routine diagnostic testing, TransCore runs frequent truck searches in five U.S. states. Each state tested is representative of its geographic region. TransCore's usability experts also compare the performance and composition of our freight matching services against other load boards.  Our database analysts also evaluate the DAT Network to learn more about our customers and community.

Here's what we found:

  • More than 57% of carriers in the DAT Network own no more than five trucks each, and another 12% own between six and ten trucks.

    57% of carriers in the DAT Network own no more than five trucks each.

  • TransCore's DAT® Network includes more trucks of all equipment types. In some cases, the "DAT" has 50% to 100% more of a specific equipment type - flats, for example - than other companies' load boards.

  • Volume on the DAT Network doubled between January and May 2008, representing a 42% increase over the comparable period in 2007.

  • DATconnect and 3sixty Freight Match enable users to search for specific equipment types, as well as loading and unloading dates and locations, so brokers can find the right truck faster.

  • All posts on the DAT Network is updated and refreshed daily, so the truck posts are more relevant - and so are the phone calls from carriers when you post a load.
