# Truck Box

> Truck Box is the DAT One broker emailer built for truck dispatchers, carriers, and owner-operators. It speeds up the DAT One load board (one.dat.com) across dry van, flatbed, and reefer loads, adding one-click broker emails with custom templates, RTS factoring credit checks, Google Maps routes, a deadhead-adjusted rate-per-mile calculator, miles and duplicate filters, keyboard navigation, a load-list refresh, and a dark/night mode. Works in Google Chrome and Opera, with secure Google sign-in.

## What it does

- One-click broker email: a custom template auto-fills from the load's data on DAT and sends from your own Gmail. No copy-paste, no second tab. It only sends email you choose to send and never reads your inbox.
- Custom email templates: build dynamic templates with {{placeholders}} (origin, destination, pickup date, equipment, length, weight, plus your name, MC and phone) that fill in automatically for each load.
- RTS Credit Check: see a broker's RTS factoring credit rating and days-to-pay right on the load, before you call — for carriers who factor with RTS.
- Inbuilt Google Maps route: open the load's route in one click as three stops — your truck location, the pickup, and the destination.
- Rate calculator with deadhead RPM: price a load on the spot. Enter a rate to get the rate-per-mile (loaded and deadhead-adjusted), or flip the calculator to enter a target RPM and get the rate to ask the broker.
- Load filter: dim or hide loads shorter than the distance you set, plus a duplicate-load filter that greys out repeated postings so you act on each load once.
- Keyboard navigation: work the board without the mouse — W/S move between loads, A/D switch tabs, C copies, E sends the email, R refreshes.
- Load refresh: refresh just the load list without reloading the whole DAT One page.
- Night / dark mode: switch the entire DAT One load board to a dark theme.
