"Nice, but it's a lot of scams on here now"
What do you dislike about DAT Load Board?
Scams and too many repeated loads from the same brokers
I like the ease of posting and refreshing loads. The new feature to direct book a load via DAT is awesome as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Duplicating a load posting could be easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Provides a comprehensive listing of available loads and trucks in real time. This can help carriers and brokers quickly find suitable matches for their transportation needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Despite payment assurance services, there's still a risk of non-payment or payment disputes when working with unfamiliar brokers or shippers. Sharing your contact information and details on a public platform can expose you to potential unsolicited communications or marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DAT is the leader for loadboards. Super user friendly and easy to use. Do prefer the older version, but understand what they are attempting to do and make happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No real fraud protection from bogus carriers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DAT Loadboard is great for those who have a lot of spot freight and need coverage all around the country. You can post your load and wait for a call or you can also post your truck! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It should have a way to export data. Like when you search for trucks in a certain area, they show all the results but aren't a way to export or copy all those contacts in case you want to batch email them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Have been working with DAT for more than a year and is simply the most efficient load board out there in terms of trucks availability, market rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In the past few days my team has noticed some loads are being posted for the present day but carriers are seeing them for the next day, not really sure why is that happening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DAT is easy to use. I'm able to load my trucks with little effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm finding the broker credit scores are varying, sometimes drastically, from other forces that I check. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have been using DAT Load Board for about 3 years now, affordable price, great for small business, will keep using DAT for many more years. Ease of use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing I dislike so far, it's been a great experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Searching loads and many options to use the load board Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Outages and brokers not putting all the information about the load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that it shows you the route, and all relevant information that you need. With one click you can send an email (and it populates all the trip info so less typing) or a call. You can work and get your loads just using your phone you don't need a computer or tablet. Is super easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not about dat but about brokers that why don't include all information that we need to make decisions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
