DAT Acquires Convoy, A FreightTech Level Up
In this episode, I talk with freight tech legend, Bill Driegert. We talk about his journey in logistics as well as the recent acquisition of the Convoy Platform by DAT. From Coyote to Amazon, to Otto & Uber, Bill has been at the cutting edge of freight. Let's get into it!
It's been a year!
In less than 12 months, DAT has made some moves, most recently with the acquisition of the Convoy Platform from Flexport for $250 million on July 28, 2025, Outgo in May 2025, & Trucker Tools in December 2024. All this to build the most trusted freight marketplace in North America.
The Convoy Platform, originally built by Seattle-based Convoy Inc, brings AI-driven freight matching to DAT’s DAT One load board, which handles nearly 700,000 daily load posts. The platform automates 98% of bookings, cuts carrier costs by up to 30%, & bolsters fraud prevention. Convoy Platform’s tech team is led by our guest, Bill Driegert. Follow Bill on X!
