About DAT Outgo

We're a fast-growing team tackling a massive opportunity: the $800B US freight market. This industry comprises 1.6 million carriers, with 95% being small businesses operating 10 or fewer trucks.

Our platform operates with radical transparency and fairness, optimizing cash flow to help truckers save more and grow their businesses.
