What is it?
The DAT Region Filters feature allows users to filter Loads and Trips by default Alvys regions and markets using predefined geographical regions from DAT shape files. Users can now organize and plan their loads more efficiently by applying these regional filters across the platform.
Why is it important?
Previously, users could only filter by lane name, which lacked the necessary regional specificity. Large carriers were forced to rely on external tools like Excel for regional load planning, causing inefficiencies. With the introduction of DAT Region Filters, we are significantly improving the ease and accuracy of load management for large carriers.
How is it used?
Users can now filter Loads and Trips based on:
Pickup Region
Pickup Market
Dropoff Region
Dropoff Market
These filters are available as new columns on the Load Board, helping users quickly identify and organize relevant loads based on DAT defined regions or markets. Note: If a load or trip belongs to multiple regions or markets, all applicable regions/markets will be displayed as a comma-separated list.
How exactly does DAT define Regions & Markets?
