Preferred Partners
Businesses we’ve worked with directly and recommend to DLA Academy students and graduates.
Every business on this page has been used or worked with directly. We don’t sell advertising placements and we don’t list businesses we haven’t dealt with. Where we earn a commission, it’s stated on the listing itself — and any discount applies whether or not we earn anything.
every business day
DAT One is the load board the rest of the industry actually uses — 1.35M+ loads posted every business day, real broker-to-carrier rate data from the last 15 days, and TriHaul routing that finds three-leg trips paying better than standard round trips. It isn’t the cheapest option, but for an owner-op building a real business it pays for itself quickly. Through this partnership, DLA Academy students get 10% off the first year.
Sprinter, 26-footer, reefer, or Class A with a flatbed — there’s freight built for your rig from day one.
When you call a broker you already know what the lane has paid in the last 15 days. Negotiate from data, not guesses.
Set your lane, truck type and rate floor. The second a broker posts a match, you’re notified. First call wins.
“Graduates who get on a load board in their first 30 days find loads faster, build broker relationships sooner, and reach profitability earlier.”
“If freight exists on your lane, it’s usually posted to the largest network first. Volume is the whole advantage.”
No volume minimums
Cash flow is the reason most new trucking businesses fail in year one. Brokers pay net-30 to net-60; fuel, insurance and the truck payment don’t wait. Outgo pays your invoice within 24 hours and waits the 30–60 days itself. Typically 1.5–2.5% per invoice, no long-term contract, no volume minimum, and it lives inside the same platform you use to find loads.
Submit the invoice, get paid within 24 hours — often same day. Most of the invoice hits your account before the broker opens the email.
Already on the DAT load board? Outgo sits in the same platform. No second login, no second system to learn.
Before you haul, Outgo flags brokers with poor payment history — so you don’t do the work and then chase the money.
“Cost of factoring on a busy week: $90 to $180. Cost of running out of cash and parking the truck for a week: thousands. The math isn’t close.”
“Factoring in your first 90 days isn’t a luxury for most drivers — it’s how you stay running long enough to build the business.”
