Tarmac - 6/16/2025

Tarmac & DAT Partnership

We're excited to announce a partnership between Tarmac and DAT Freight & Analytics! This collaboration is set to transform how carriers search for loads and plan routes, making the operations smarter, faster, and more profitable.

Why Fast Decision-Making is Important

In today’s competitive freight market, quick and effective decision-making is critical in securing attractive loads.

In a vast freight market with hundreds of thousands of loads posted daily, identifying the right opportunities and planning optimal routes in real time can become overwhelming, leading to significant inefficiencies and lost revenue.

This partnership empowers carriers to find the right loads and plan routes with unprecedented efficiency, helping them act faster and maximize earnings. By combining Tarmac's innovative conversational AI with DAT's extensive real-time data, we enable carriers to minimize waiting times and eliminate empty trips.

What it means for Carriers

Imagine simply telling an intelligent assistant your load and routing preferences and getting the best options from DAT’s vast dataset in seconds.

Tarmac's integration with DAT drastically reduces the time and effort traditionally spent on load and route planning. With Tarmac’s AI Assistant, carriers can automate up to 80% of their planning and decision-making, leading to faster operations and significant cost savings.

What's New

Tarmac's AI Assistant now seamlessly integrates with DAT's real-time data, offering features designed to boost your operations with minimal effort:

  • Load Search: Find loads using simple text or voice commands.
  • Instant Real-Time Route Optimization: Plan the most efficient routes in seconds.
  • Rapid Decision-Making: Make critical load and routing decisions instantly.
  • AI-Powered Communication: Email, call, and book loads with the AI Assistant.

Next Steps

The Tarmac-DAT platform is currently open for beta users, and we're excited to launch the full product in the coming months.

Looking ahead, our partnership is committed to developing the platform by introducing holistic operations management features, powered by integrated DAT data and advanced AI technology.
