PORTLAND, Ore., March 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DAT Freight & Analytics will showcase new business tools and lead several education sessions at the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS), March 26–28 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville.
Attendees can visit DAT at booth 37415 in the South Wing for demos and one-on-one conversations. At MATS 2026, DAT will highlight:
- DAT One, North America's largest load board and freight marketplace, connecting carriers with truckload freight across the U.S. and Canada. Attendees are encouraged to visit the booth to see DAT's new iPhone widget for the DAT One app, which lets drivers view preferred loads directly from their home screen, and sign up for a MATS-exclusive beta test of an upcoming load-recommendation feature.
