The Opportunity

About DAT Outgo

We're a fast-growing team tackling a massive opportunity: the $800B US freight market. This industry comprises 1.6 million carriers, with 95% being small businesses operating 10 or fewer trucks. These hard-working business owners often face tight margins while being forced to rely on predatory financial products laden with exorbitant rates, hidden fees, and restrictive contracts.

At DAT Outgo, we're changing that. We're building an intelligent fintech platform from the ground up that truly understands the unique needs of trucking businesses. Our platform operates with radical transparency and fairness, optimizing cash flow to help truckers save more and grow their businesses.

Join our dynamic team at DAT in our mission to level the playing field and empower America's truckers with the financial tools they deserve.

Our technology transforms the accounts receivable process through intelligent automation and visualization, multiplying our operations team's effectiveness. For our customers, we craft intuitive, trustworthy applications that set a new standard for financial services.

Our modern tech stack is built on Go (golang) powered by AWS infrastructure. We leverage cutting-edge tools including Temporal, Postgres, LLMs and Grafana to deliver exceptional results.
