Before you book

Three questions we get on every call

Most brokers and carriers are already familiar with DAT, and likely already have an account. Even if they don't, it's free to get access and participate in a bid.

No big implementation lift or IT involvement, so setup with DAT is quick. Kicking off a bid just requires building out your network and lane lists, which most teams complete within days.

No. DAT Contract Bid doesn't change who you source from, it changes how you manage the process. Your existing carrier and broker relationships stay intact, you're just running the event in a structured workflow.

Your next RFP doesn't have to live in a spreadsheet.
