I don't really have any problems with using this load board. > > **Cons**: I really like the load board. It's easy to use and don't really have any problems with it. ----- ### "Nothing to write home about" — 4.0/5 > **KIMBERLY** | *31 July 2024* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: DAT Load Board is a standard load board. Customer Service is great. > > **Cons**: The least liked part of the DAT load board is that it is overpriced. > > They've had outages and that was not reflected in the billing. ----- ### "DISLOYAL AND UNPROTECTIVE TO CUSTOMERS\!\!\!\!\!\!\!" — 1.0/5 > **Monekea** | *24 April 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: For the most part, the load board is easy to navigate. DAT shows the avialable freight for different vehicle types. > > **Cons**: This company DOES NOT value its customers at all. I had been using the load board since 2021. However, I was locked out of my account because my husband and I shared the username and password to the account. We live in the same house, share the same access to the the internet and work for the company in which we own. We were told we could not share profiles so we apologized and told them we didn't know we couldn't share login credentials. A week later someone attempted to login my account in Singapore, Dallas and Miami. I informed DAT representatives that it wasn't me and they told me to change my password, which I happily did. After complying with the password change, I was still blocked. I called DAT numerous times to try to get the issue resolved only to get the run around. I was told I was blocked because of insurance compliance which was untrue. I sent COIs showing that my insurance was active. After several days and plenty lies from DAT representatives, \[sensitive content hidden\] in particular, I was told I would be blocked because 144 VPNs were detected on my account. To any smart human, this yells FRAUD.....just not to DAT. Instead, I was told it was my fault that my account had been compromised. This is absolutely ridiculous. As a paying customer for years, I never complained when the load board was having technical issues which prevented paying customers to have access to load board to see available freight. Instead, I was patient and understanding. I'm just not sure why I didn't receive the same grace from DAT. > > With the way I was treated the last two weeks in mind, my experience was TERRIBLE\!\!\!\!\!\! The last two weeks make the first year totally not worth it. ----- ### "DAT the best\!" — 5.0/5 > **Sylvia** | *20 May 2025* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very resourceful and helpful anytime I need a load. I would recommend this app to all new truckers and to older seasoned drivers > > **Cons**: Need a button to report false postings sometimes postings come on the board with a Gmail address and brokers post the same load over and over and over > > Good, a little pricey but it pays for itself\! I look on this board every day of the week\!\!99 % of my loads come from DAT ----- ### "Broker accuracy" — 5.0/5 > **Amar** | *19 May 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: 50-50 information broker rating not accurate. Need more information on brokers more information on pick up time and delivery. > > **Cons**: Brokers and double brokers not good accuracy need more information on them too much too much emails to contact to book a load > > Not too bad it’s OK more options more loads more pays more locations more accuracy, better maps, and more phones not emails ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/363724/dat-load-board?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/363724/dat-load-board) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
