Duplicate loads My chief complaint or concern is the massive duplication of loads. Extreme fluctuations in mileage of posted loads versus what the broker says when called. The other column needs to broken into more subgroups. Easier way to share loads between drivers and dispatchers.

DAT is good DAT is good: However we have had issues with missing load information that waists our time in calling on loads, ie, rpm, weights, correct load info, not taking the load off the board once booked and leaving on for several hours. DAT is full of information like forecasting information but what we need most is accurate and up to date loads and load information. The entire existence of the load board is to provide accurate load information not so you can show the total load amount higher than it actually is. AS far as other load board I would highly recommend them for Flatbed, Reefer and Dry van, however their Hotshot loads are lacking.

My last 10 years of experience using DAT Power. I have been working with DAT throughout the last 10 years as a dispatcher and this is the best load board that currently exists. The amount of loads as well as freight market data is unbeatable. Data especially helps you a lot in understanding the market better and making better business decisions.

Not that good anymore… Most of the loads posted on DAT are posted multiple times (as much as 30 times for the same load), this makes it very time consuming and annoying to say the least. DAT claims to be helping to prevent fraud but fraud continues to run rampant with many load posters stating ‘email only’ and posting gmail addresses that have nothing to do with the original brokers email address. With all the brokers offering free load boards now, it’s time consuming to go through them all but at least they’re not riddled with fraudulent load postings, which is probably better than overpaying for a name brand load board that claims to have 100’s of 1000’s of loads per day (deduct all the multiple postings and it’s really not that many).

What is DAT doing ?! I am a affiliate for the DAT Power loadboard. I have been using it for 2 years now. I just discovered that in the free trial version, users are no longer able to view rates. Who made this decision because it did not used to be like this? If I were a new user, I would not sign up due to the fact that the free trial makes my experience more difficult & time consuming. This was not a good business move on behalf of DAT. Can this be reversed? I also don't like the new platform. Thankfully I can still search from the old platform. DAT needs to give people the option to choose between the old platform and new - also not lowballing on the free trial because it's honestly misleading and serves no purpose if you can't see rates. It makes it much harder to sift through loads. DAT also has alot of fraud going on so it's starting to become a low end board. I really want to keep promoting this brand but I am not happy with changes!
