Features and benefits

Been pretty good I would say. No complaints on my end

Pros

The profit estimator is one of the best tools I’ve seen.

Cons

The scammers that find their way in. I know this isn’t on DAT. Just wish there was some to control them.

Nothing to write home about

They've had outages and that was not reflected in the billing.

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.

Transitioning from DatPower to DatOne is a disrespectful move towards carriers.

I'm attempting to remain optimistic, but the truth is, this new loadboard, DatOne, is simply not functional. I have five dispatchers using it, and I'm in touch with numerous other companies' dispatchers, all of whom have nothing but negative feedback about it. They're all expressing frustration, and some are even considering unsubscribing unless improvements are made. What's disheartening is the apparent lack of concern from your end. There have been numerous negative reviews on YouTube comments, and it's evident that instead of addressing the issues, you're deleting them to save face. This speaks volumes about the integrity and commitment of your company. It's truly disappointing. I made the switch from truckstop.com to PowerDat because I thought you were leading the pack by two heads, but unfortunately, with DatOne, you've fallen ten heads behind. It's really disappointing.

Pros

Currently, I haven't received any positive feedback regarding DatOne. Despite my efforts to remain impartial and adapt to it, I've come to the realization that it's futile.

Cons

The transition from PowerDat to DatOne has proven to be a significant letdown. What used to be a dependable platform has transformed into a labirinth to navigate. The updated interface is overly complicated, hindering the quick and efficient booking of loads. Useful features have either been eliminated or buried beneath layers of unnecessary complexity. It's evident that this supposed upgrade missed the mark entirely. Previously, DAT had a two-step advantage over all other loadboards, but now, regrettably, they're trailing behind by ten steps.

Response from DAT Freight and Analytics

Hi Adrian,
Power has been in existence for almost a decade, marking its journey to the end of its life cycle.

DAT began my career and rocketed us to the company we are today!

Pros

I love the ability to base my pricing on the market average. See analytics and leverage that knowledge to be more competitive in the market place.

Cons

I'm not a fan of the fact that on mobile which is the product I use the most, that I don't have the load information the same way my Dispatchers do. They can see drops, load details that aren't necessarily in the comments, and the route. I wish mobile would show me this information and also wish mobile would allow me to filter out loads under a certain milage. Yes you can click longest or shortest but if you are in NJ with 2000 reefer loads it would be nice to filter before you sort. That way I could dial in what works for my business the best. Now this is coming from somebody who only uses mobile my employees use desktop and can see it however I still drive one of the trucks that I own and so it's more convenient for me to do it on my phone. I would love those options on mobile if you are listening.

Cancel load board

I was walk through the cancellation process with a DAT rep and canceled it and called back. They said they cannot cancel it because I have to give them 30 days notice..

Pros

I used to like things about the a T until I try to cancel a week ahead of time and they went in and take out a payment for $180. The service suck when I told him I went to truckstop, and they start getting attitude with me.

Cons

The customer service sucks. When you tell them you’re moving onto another run load board can’t get my refund money back, and the transaction is showing pending simply just ask him nicely to cancel my account a week in advance.

Response from DAT Freight and Analytics

Thank you for your feedback. Our terms and conditions require a written 30 day notice to cancel. We are happy to discuss this further. Please call our team at 800.547.5417 or email us at [email protected]

Collapsing trucking industry

They are too passive about what brokers are doing to truckers

Pros

Readily available to use.,And also inform users of any site maintenance

Cons

Dat allow brokers to quote any rate on the board. I believe dat can institute a policy for say you can not post less than $2/mile load…. This can save the trucking industry from collapsing
