(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Trucker Tools joins DAT Freight & Analytics to further strengthen their combined mission to put confidence back in freight
CHICAGO, Dec. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DAT Freight & Analytics, a leader in freight, acquired Trucker Tools, a strategic move designed to combine Trucker Tools' innovative approach to load tracking and carrier sourcing with DAT's experience providing industry-leading freight solutions.
Brokers will continue to get best-in-class load visibility and capacity tools for every load they manage, but with nearly 50 additional years of expertise and greater resources for an enhanced suite of broker tools.
Carriers can expect the same great lifestyle features they've come to love - weigh scales, fuel optimizers, and more. With this partnership, we're adding one of the largest networks of loads, making it easier than ever for carriers to find great loads.
“At Trucker Tools, our unwavering mission has always been to simplify and enhance the lives of brokers and carriers,” Kary Jablonski, CEO of Trucker Tools, said.“Through our strategic partnership with DAT, we are amplifying this mission on a greater scale, delivering enhanced solutions and transformative insights to our customers. This collaboration unlocks opportunities for speed, efficiency, and innovation for the freight industry. We are thrilled to align with DAT to advance their vision of eliminating uncertainty in the freight industry.”
