Drive Link

Deadhead-adjusted RPM, 1-click broker email and 1-click Google Maps routing on DAT One and Truckstop.

Drive Link adds dispatch tools directly to DAT One and Truckstop load searches, helping you compare loads, contact brokers and plan routes. • Deadhead-adjusted rate per mile: calculate the posted rate divided by loaded miles plus origin and destination deadhead. Eligible rows show green at or above your chosen threshold and red below. Loads without a usable posted rate or loaded mileage do not receive an RPM chip. • Gmail load checks: send a message to the displayed broker using your editable subject, body, MC number and signature. Gmail is the only sending method. • Google Maps routing: open your truck location, pickup and delivery as a route. • Copy: copy a load summary from supported DAT and detail-panel controls. • Broker grade checking: view available RTS grades in expanded load details. The badge tooltip identifies the source. DAT provides Maps and Copy, plus Email when an address is available. Truckstop’s grid provides Maps; broker details provide Email, Maps and Copy, while additional Load Notes contacts have Email. Confirmed sends can display a check mark for 24 hours. Grade checking is enabled by default for new installations. Turn it off using “Checking” in Settings. When enabled, opening supported load details automatically sends the broker MC number to the Drive Link credit service. Its gateway uses client IP addresses for request limits, and its central service caches grades. Grades may be unavailable or outdated and do not guarantee payment. A Gmail account and your own access to the supported load boards are required. Ordinary users need no RTS account or manual access key. Drive Link is independent and claims no endorsement by DAT, Truckstop or RTS.
