DAT Load Board Pros and Cons

Most widely used loadboard on the market. 3PLs are almost obligated to use DAT to stay competitive in the freight marketplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They are essentially the "Craigslist" of the freight world and allow many double brokers and scam artists to use their platform. DAT takes zero responsibility for their platform driving up fraud issues. In addition- during a down market they are raising their rates on small businesses in some cases 45% without delivering any more value to their customer base. If you don't agree to the massive increase the day your contract expires they shut you out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how it makes it easy to verify brokers when searching for loads. Being able to quickly find a load for a stuck driver is what keeps me in business! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like the price range on loads on the DAT are not truly accurate with current market trends and tend to be more than what brokers are actually paying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The onboarding experience was top notch. Everyone that has helped us and taken time to meet with us and walk us through the offerings have been great. There is so much information to get through and learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the "likes" is also the closest thing I have as a dislike, and that's the amount of information. It's overwhelming at first. There's so much to parse through and filter down. It's a pro and a con at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stats are seemingly based on loads that are posted, but unsure if the sample pull is large enough to determine truly accurate lane pricing. Most of the time it is spot on but quite a few times, it explains the market one way but be completely wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
