DAT to showcase new services at the Walcott Truckers Jamboree

DAT Freight & Analytics will present its new Outgo freight factoring services and expanded DAT One capabilities next month at the Walcott Truckers Jamboree, a three-day celebration of trucking and the people who keep the industry rolling.

“The Walcott Truckers Jamboree is one of our favorite events on the calendar,” said Jeff Hopper, Chief Marketing Officer for DAT. “This year, we’re excited to introduce the trucking community to new services that can help them speed up cash flow, secure their operating authority, and take advantage of more opportunities on DAT One, the industry’s largest load board.”

New products on display:

  • Factoring with Outgo: Carriers on the DAT One network can now factor invoices through Outgo, DAT’s integrated financial services platform. Any load posted to the DAT network with a black dollar sign (“$”) is eligible for factoring with no annual contracts and no reserves. Carriers can access factorable funds as soon as an invoice is approved, typically within 90 minutes or less. Factoring through Outgo is also available to non-subscribers of DAT One, offering more carriers a faster way to access cash flow.
  • DAT Copilot: Copilot offers new owner-operators one-on-one coaching throughout the process of obtaining federal motor carrier authority, providing guidance on documentation, insurance compliance, fuel taxes, vehicle registration, and more.
  • Eight new load and equipment options: DAT One now supports eight more load and equipment types, including Sprinter van, box truck, and power-only options. As one of the most frequently requested updates, the addition of Sprinter vans and box trucks creates new opportunities for carriers to find specialized freight and expand their business.

In addition, DAT is proud to support the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to helping long-haul truckers and their families when illness or injury threatens their livelihoods. St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund will have its own booth at the Jamboree to promote driver health and assistance to truckers experiencing medical hardship.

Connect with DAT at the Walcott Truckers Jamboree:

  • When: July 10-12, 2025
  • Where: Iowa 80 Truckstop at Interstate 80 Exit 284 in Walcott, Iowa
  • Event details: iowa80truckstop.com

As the first choice for truckers and freight brokers, DAT One has more loads and trucks than any other load board. Visit the DAT booth to learn more about how DAT One can drive your business forward.
