The Rates tool is a great way to identify the likely cost of a truck for a shipment you have. It does that using DAT's traditional RateView rates, but taking into account specific details about the the shipment like:
- pickup date
- number of pickups and dropoffs
- shipment size
- hazardous
This tool can be accessed by navigating to iq.dat.com.
- Click on Rates from the menu
- Enter the Origin, Destination, and Equipment Type and click
- Select the specific details about the shipment to get a closer estimate of the truck cost
- Next, choose to view either the Spot or Contract rate and whether you want to include the fuel cost
- In addition to seeing the traditional RateView LANE RATE you will also see the estimated SHIPMENT RATE based on the shipment details you selected
