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.

Online platform horrible Online platform horrible. They IP engineers not capable to keep platform out of crashing for longer than 24 hours. Before online platform i was using they "download to PC load board version" - that was "1990 era design", crashing as well , but was much more stable. I using they product 15 years now and i have may be 3-10 days per year without program glitches. They just CAN NOT fix they online platform now. Just not capable. Only hope - some sharks of the business, some "brain machine" will acquired them and get ALL ENTIRE IP team fired and rehired new guys..

Data interpretation by DAT. I've come to realization that "general market rate" that everyone is referring to is created on DAT mainframe using a blunt way of data interpretation when it comes to TL and LTL shipments. I have requested a deeper look into an issue and asked to be kept in the loop of this investigation. In other words, data collected from TMS does NOT reflect the difference between TL shipment requests and LTL partial loads. This failure in data interpretation affects so called "market per mile rate" in certain regions to the point of making it difficult and not cost efficient to move the freight. This affects road safety and general well being of truck drivers. I'd really like that addressed and fixed on your end. Thank you.

Doing more HARM than GOOD to the industry Absolutely horrible. DAT has always been a product intended for North Americans, yet you allow people for other countries to have access to DAT servers. REALLY?!!?!? Please tell me you believe that's good for our country.. Your profit margins are more important than how it's actually affecting truckers and their rates. Not acceptable at all whatsoever!!

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!
