BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DAT Freight & Analytics today introduced new initiatives to reduce the risk of fraud and double brokering in the industry while delivering the speed, convenience and open marketplace users expect from the DAT One truckload freight network.
“Fraud is on the rise, and DAT is committed to providing the resources our customers need to fight back,” said Jeff Hopper, DAT Chief Marketing Officer. “DAT is using a combination of technology, education and enforcement in our ongoing effort to stop bad actors and help freight brokers, carriers and shippers protect themselves in today’s climate.”

These initiatives build on DAT’s ongoing efforts to reduce the risk of fraud in the industry:
“The DAT network hosted nearly 400 million truckload shipments in 2022, and the total number of DAT customers has increased by nearly 42% since January 2021,” Hopper said. “As the use of load boards has grown, so has the aggressiveness and sophistication of scammers. These new tools will help users validate the brokers and carriers they want to work with, protect their login credentials and build relationships based on trust.”
