Alternatives considered [Load Board](https://www.capterra.com/p/234195/Load-Board/) Reason for choosing DAT Load Board More brokers use DAT so more loads availiable Review Source RS Rodney S. dispatch Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "since I been using DAT, I had several time the system goes down or acts up." September 27, 2023 3.0 Overall is good because it does post more loads than others. Pros Real time updates on loads been posted, or at list that's what I was told. Sometimes I call as soon as a load pops up and its already gone I think I pay the most expensive version. Cons The crashes or issues freezing or acting up. Switched from [Load Board](https://www.capterra.com/p/234195/Load-Board/) I was told DAT posts more reefer loads. Review Source AG Andres G. Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Experienced with DAT" September 27, 2023 2.0 Pros The spot where we going to pick up and leave the load Cons Is not to much help when we need a support Review Source YC Yogawar C.

Vice President Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ashish Kumar " September 27, 2023 5.0 Awesome. Pros It’s easy and convenient to find loads and check brokers ratings and history. Cons They don’t have Vice verse look into up things. For example. I’m checking lane from Winchester va to Memphis tn . There should be option to check Vice versa like Memphis tn to Winchester va. At the same time not to go back and do it again. Review Source LS Lacrease S. Owner Operator Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Must Have!" August 30, 2023 5.0 I love how I can hop on find loads and get running whenever I want to, my experience has been great and will continue to use! Pros From anywhere you are accessed to loads are very important to the flow of your business this and many other features including spot rate and Lane alerts really help my business out! Cons I haven't found anything I did not like about this load board. Review Source ST SELMA T. OP MANAGER Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "New look" October 25, 2023 4.0 Pros what I like of the new DAT load board is that you can see or make notes of who you called or viewes the load Cons what I don't like is that brokers have options to email only and to post multiple loads for the same lane. Review Source LD Leonardo D. PRESIDENT Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "dat truckers edge" August 29, 2023 3.0 good experience so far.... Pros updates on real time, unlike others that have the same loads all day long.... Cons not all loads have the exact pick up and delivery cities. brokers play with cities and it wastes time for the carrier in trying to call and getting different cities than load posted. Reason for choosing DAT Load Board no, we pay for both dat and truck stop Review Source KC Kenny C. Owner Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Load Board" March 30, 2023 5.0 Pros Making load searches is easy and more lucrative than other boards I use. I really like that when there aren't many options available within the specific lane you're searching that it searches out further to try and offer more options for you. I also like that I can search within a 400+ miles radius of any location. I love the directory that allows you to read reviews on brokers/carriers. Cons I wish I could have multiple load searches open at once, I wish I didn't have to pay extra to have more than one user, & I wish the board would refresh itself automatically every minute or so to stay current. Reason for choosing DAT Load Board I am currently using both. Review Source MS Marcus S. Owner operator Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pros and cons" October 25, 2023 5.0 Pros I like the trip plan that it show when looking for the loads and the 30 day average helps with negotiating with the brokers. Cons I wish that you we didn't have to upgrade the package to get all the features.

Operations Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Daily DAT" October 25, 2023 5.0 Pros Consistency and quality is by far the best load board Cons DAT looses gps tracking at times. I prefer the times when you can look up a load and see the route it takes right then Review Source MC Miguel C. Owner Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Owner" August 30, 2023 4.0 Pros Easy of use Good loads on the app Good design Cons I like everything about the app only thing I would saying the price is what I like least Reason for choosing DAT Load Board Better app Review Source TR Thomas R. Owner/Operator Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Load board" August 31, 2023 5.0 The load board allows me visible of thousands of loads weekly, this is essential for a young company like mine. Pros I like the lane rate averages and fuel estimates being included in the load postings Cons I would like to see a "along route" option in the app. A feature like this would be an invaluable tool for owner/operators like myself, we function as an entire company as a single person. The additional of this feature would allow me to seemingly find secondary loads and potentially drive up profits. Review Source jS jeffrey S. Owner operator Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Expensive but useful " October 26, 2023 5.0 Could be better for the price Pros Ability to find load anywhere, helping to eliminate fraud Cons Gets stuck have to constantly refresh.

Pros Helps me cover my loads fast, with lots of visibility and the rateview tool helps me locate myself in the markts Cons market conditions tool could be improved and have it more user friendly or with some inputs for dispatchers to understand market easier.

Owner operator Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good but could use improvements" October 24, 2023 3.0 It’s ok but needs impulsive everything else Pros It help me find loads at the beginning of my venture but also I had to the customer service to tell me exactly how to find the loads but it was ok . DAT should have some sort of notification to tell the broker to take the load of the load board once it’s booked so we carriers don’t waste precious time calling for a load that does not exists. Cons Don’t let the big companies post a hundred time s the same cheap load have some sort of standard for the loads that are posted don’t let absurd loads be posted Review Source GV Gavin V.
