FAQ
Why is DAT acquiring the Convoy Platform?
DAT is acquiring the Convoy Platform to accelerate its vision of a smarter, more automated freight marketplace. By combining DAT’s scale and network with Convoy Platform’s powerful technology, we’re making it easier for brokers and carriers to move freight with less manual work, fewer phone calls, and faster results. This move brings together the best of both worlds: scale and flexibility through DAT One, and speed and efficiency through the Convoy Platform.
What's changing for existing Convoy Platform brokerage and carrier users?
Existing carriers and brokers will still enjoy the same seamless experience they know, trust, and rely on. The difference? This acquisition will deliver more of everything: more loads as DAT’s broker network eventually posts to the platform and more capacity as DAT’s carriers join in.
This creates a win-win: carriers get access to more loads, brokers get access to greater capacity, and everyone benefits from a more robust, efficient marketplace. Plus, with DAT’s relentless drive for innovation, you can count on the platform’s sophisticated technology to continue advancing.
Can brokers and carriers use both platforms?
Yes, the Convoy Platform and DAT One are complementary products.
For Brokers: Use DAT One for shipments requiring more specialization or hands-on decision making. Use the Convoy Platform for shipments that don’t need hands-on management. Together, they give you more options and more time back.
For Carriers: DAT One expands your load access with broader marketplace reach, while the Convoy app delivers cutting-edge automation including instant booking, GPS fleet tracking, streamlined BOL submissions, automatic detention, QuickPay, and more. Use both to maximize your earnings and reduce your operational workload.
How can new brokers and carriers join the Convoy Platform?
Brokers looking to post their loads to the Convoy Platform can join the waitlist. Once you’re onboarded, you’ll be able to automate every step of the shipment lifecycle—posting, vetting, booking, tracking, and payment—directly through the platform. You only pay when a load is digitally booked and delivered.
Carriers looking to get free access to loads on the Convoy Platform can download the Convoy app (available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store), or create an account online through carrier.convoy.com/signup. Carrier applications will be reviewed within 24 hours of verifying insurance and completing signup.
