I think is most helpful about DAT is that it is a comprehensive platform that offers various features and tools for freight transportation and analytics. Some of the advantages are that the platform utilizes advanced data analytics to provide predictive freight market insights. It helps users anticipate future demand, identify potential capacity constraints, and optimize their operations accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost, the using DAT typically involves a subscription or usage fee. The cost may vary depending on the level of access and features required. For smaller businesses or independent operators, the expense of utilizing the platform could be a potential drawback. But there is no real problem when using DAT IQ even if I use it many times in a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a lot of tools that help to move freight. This tool will help you post your loads and get potential calls to book the load. In addition, you can check posted trucks also. You can filter, arrange, and call the best option for your business. If you have any doubt about the market rate, it will be a helpful option. It provides a lot of data and filter options regarding freight. Very useful tool for a broker or carrier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't know if there is a manual or support to review when you have a doubt about abbreviations or where to find certain information or data. It provides a lot of information, however, sometimes it is not easy to know where to find it, or what does a specific item means. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is not very intuitive. It would be great if there is any kind of pop-up or information about the column or the data the tool is providing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy to use it is, I use it every day for my load management, I can have visibility on how the marked is acting, if my rates are in the correct direction, I love the Market Overview Map where I can see which states are HOT! so I can negotiate better with the customer and carriers, it is really helpful in every aspect!

I don't dislike anything about DAT IQ, I just think it is an awesome tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DAT iQ is incredibly effective at laying out what lane markets look like. It compares contracted rates vs spot rates & it can generate market averages for either specific lanes or target regions. It uses analytics as well as reports from carrier/broker companies to give the most accurate rate descriptions across North America. It keeps the fuel surcharge updated as well. Great tool to use when bidding lanes, & getting carriers to target rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some more obsolete lanes do not have enough rate information to make a full assessment. Certain lane rates it reports are primarily from carrier reports who run contracted freight in those areas, when in reality, spot loads for those regions run much higher & we have to pay more to get carriers to cover them.

The new RateView Beta and dashboard is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
