DAT Load Board Pricing Plans Compared (2026)
DAT One offers three pricing tiers from $45 to $199 per month. The right plan depends on how you use the platform — but the biggest mistake carriers make is choosing the cheapest plan and missing out on RateView, the feature that actually makes DAT worth paying for.

O TruckingDAT Load Board Pricing Plans Compared (2026)
DAT One Plan Overview
All DAT plans include basic load searching and broker contact information. The tiers differ in analytics depth, broker credit data, load alerts, and multi-truck management features. Here is what each plan offers and who it is designed for.
DAT One Select (~$45/month)
Select is DAT's entry-level plan. It gives you access to the load board with basic search and filtering, broker contact information, and the ability to post your truck. What it does not include is RateView — meaning you cannot see market rate data for the lanes you are searching.
Load searching with basic filters
Broker contact information
Post your truck for brokers to find
No RateView (no market rate data)
Limited broker credit data
Select Without RateView Means Negotiating Blind
DAT One Professional (~$99-$149/month)
Professional is the sweet spot for most carriers. It includes everything in Select plus RateView analytics, broker credit scores with days-to-pay data, advanced filters, and load alerts. This is where DAT becomes a genuine business tool rather than just a listing service.
Everything in Select
RateView — lane rate averages, ranges, and trends
Broker credit scores — days-to-pay and payment reliability
Advanced filters (rate minimums, deadhead limits)
Load alerts for preferred lanes
DAT One Premium (~$199/month)
Premium is designed for fleets, dispatchers, and power users who live on the platform all day. It includes everything in Professional plus unlimited searches, extended rate history, multi-truck management, market analytics dashboards, and priority support.
Everything in Professional
Unlimited load searches and rate lookups
Multi-truck management dashboard
Extended rate history and market analytics
Priority customer support

Our Recommendation
For most owner-operators and small fleets, DAT One Professional offers the best value. RateView alone is worth the price difference over Select. If you negotiate even one load per month $50-$100 higher using RateView data, the plan has paid for itself.
Premium makes sense if you dispatch multiple trucks or spend all day on the platform. For a single-truck operation that books 3-5 loads per week, Professional gives you everything you need.
