I do and that’s coming from somone who’s spent months/year or longer losing probably 2 dozen broker partners, some asset based and some non because I wouldn’t conform.

Finally, I had to upload my id which id refused since the beginning. It went smooth and all with no problems and I was struck by how advanced their technology was. Normally, trucking is antiquated in about every way. Not much real new tech has hit the mark and helped the industry even tho billions have been spent.

Sometimes when something has been your enemy, it’s interesting to see why is this becoming so popular. I instructed my guys to setup and demo and let’s see it from the other side. Honestly, it’s impressive the amount of tools and reporting is available to make sure you’re working with legit carriers that are atleast somewhat well ran and legal. Lots of cross checks and security features that also flag if a carriers identity has been stolen or taken over.

Once I saw that side I understood it more and as more carriers open their ELD to that tracking vs things like macropoint, then that will ultimately I think help carriers to keep their trucks more efficient and with less fraud happening as well on both sides.

DAT has bought a lot of companies and tech lately and are working backwards to revolutionize their main product the load board.

It feels very weird to say since I had hard feelings until recently, but it could actually help us real carriers in the long term even though it feels like an invasion of privacy. Fraud and scammers are too rampant, and ultimately it would be nice if this system made sure folks are here legally.

But why do they need access to logs makes no sense? Are they making sure you are booking loads that you can deliver with hours? It’s all weird

To make sure the truck that books the load actually hauls it. None of this "dot number taped to the door" at pickup, or relaying it off midroute.
