The latest DAT report of spot freight market activity showed an 83% increase in freight volume in February from last year to a new single-month record.

Fuel-card provider Comdata Inc. and three major truck-stop chains announced they have agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging anticompetitive practices that resulted in higher processing fees for smaller truck-stop businesses.

Spot market freight activity increased 10% in December on DAT’s load boards, bucking the usual end-of-year trend, said the company, which is part of TransCore.

Flawed data and methodology used in the Compliance, Safety, Accountability program have created “tens of thousands” of statistical anomalies, according to an American Trucking Associations white paper released last week.

ORLANDO, Fla. — American Trucking Associations announced an agreement with load board operator DAT to add spot market freight and rate information to the trade association’s monthly activity report and other products.

Comdata Corp. has launched an updated version of its FleetAdvance fuel payment software that allows for increased data analysis.

The federal government is trying once again to eliminate the requirement that nearly all trucking companies submit quarterly financial data to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, calling the requirement “outdated” and unnecessary.

Comdata Corp. said it has started processing cardless fueling transactions using radio-frequency identification, while two major truck-stop chains work to install the wireless technology at all of their fueling locations.
