Connect your FTM system with DAT to seamlessly search loads and post assets directly from Fleet or Load views.

FAQs
- Can we use one phone/email for all postings?
Yes! Just set your DAT account’s default contact details. This ensures all activity routes to your ops team.
- Will this integration affect other settings?
No. FTM handles the integration fields independently, so existing system settings remain safe.
