GoldenBoard - Freight Rate Intelligence

About

GoldenBoard adds a floating rate intelligence panel on top of DAT load boards (iq.dat.com and one.dat.com), giving freight brokers and carriers instant market context without leaving the page.

WHAT IT DOES:

Rate Intelligence
- See spot rate ranges, averages, and smart rate recommendations from RateView and load board data side by side
- Auto-detect market direction: know instantly whether to compete on price or sell service
- Track rate trends across 7-day, 15-day, 90-day, and 6-month windows

Margin Builder
- Set your target margin percentage and see the all-in shipper rate calculated in real time
- Add accessorial costs (fuel surcharge, detention, layover, lumper) as separate line items
- Load board pricing as your primary carrier cost with RateView data as historical context

Sales Strategy
- Automatic "Compete on Price" vs "Sell Service" vs "Hold Steady" detection based on market trends
- Strategy-driven talking points for shipper conversations
- Your company's shipment history on each lane surfaced as a credibility tool

Load Filtering
- Auto-filter out loads you don't want: hazmat, high-value, team, multi-stop, overweight, OD
- Customizable weight limits and filter preferences
- Focus on the loads that match your operation

Market Context
- Market heat indicators (HOT / WARM / SOFT) based on load-to-truck ratios
- Lane search frequency tracking — know which lanes you look at most
- Historical rate snapshots stored locally for trend analysis

HOW IT WORKS:

GoldenBoard runs entirely in your browser. It reads rate data from DAT pages you're already viewing with your active DAT subscription. All analysis happens locally on your device — no data is sent to external servers, ever.

REQUIREMENTS:
- Active DAT subscription (DAT One or DAT iQ)
- Google Chrome browser

PRIVACY:
- Zero data collection — everything stays on your device
- No accounts, no sign-ups, no tracking
- No external server communication
- Uninstalling removes all stored data
