DAT Load Board for Truckers

Please make it mandatory brokers post rates, details, drop off dates and times. I’m Beginning to spend hours on the phone with brokers who already know the rates there paying aren’t going to get covered. If carriers knew the drop off dates for your loads these wasted calls could be avoided. I’m not sure why this isn’t mandatory, this is a scheduling app. Details are really important in this business please help your carriers out we also pay the monthly premium. Please it’s your app and your #1. I don’t want to hear brokers have there discretion. 7/10 reviews have asked for this change. Besides this the app is great!!! My reason for 4 stars it pays for itself x10.

Low rates, DAT board is horrible. How can any driver survive with this crap. Often rates are so low they don’t even post them. DAT is very broker friendly. The broker side of app seems way better. Your putting hard working Americans out of work. Hope you burn in Hell along with these brokers. Anyone who reads this the only way you’ll earn a living for your family is to deal with the customer direct. And to respond to your reply. No your a brokerage firm manipulating rates with other brokers. #monopoly. It obvious (with the other complaints and issues in reviews ) who you actually are here for and who you are just using as cheap labor. Brokers often put next to no information next to their loads. i.e delivery times , rates ( which rarely are anywhere near 1.80 even for reefer.)We live in the Information Age so for those of us with some business and computer sense we see exactly what your doing. Unfortunately for you the less informed older drivers are retiring 🤷‍♂️

The new update is not team friendly whatsoever!! My husband and I run our operation together and many times we are both logged in looking for loads. Now we are not able to do this. We pay for this service and it’s very disappointing. I am strongly considering canceling our service. I refuse to pay for another subscription. Instead of hurting the small single truck operation, why not improve your app by making it impossible for brokers to post a load without giving details like pickup/delivery dates, weight, commodity etc? You’re the biggest Loadboard and make the most $! Truckers ( your bread and butter) are being nickeled and dimed to death as it is and you want to now add to the problem. So frustrated.

In addition Brokers are hiding facts and getting away with selling you one thing and then surprise it’s something else. You don’t find this out tell after you sign their rate con that’s when you get the rest of the information. Second drop, extra heavy load, lumpers required, won’t pay detention till after 4 hours. In any other business this would be illegal bait and switch ! Besides there is no negotiating with brokers these days, they have the upper hand and they know it. Last year was a record breaking year in profits for brokers at the truckers expense it looks like this year is going to be even better. Please help us, keep brokers from omitting details and make negotiations fair !

Makes searching for loads a breeze . Only thing I could add as of this moment is the feature to remove a post from visibility . If a load is old/cheap or if I called on it already a simple swipe right just like the add to work list but the opposite would be great . And bring it back up if they change something on the posting like raising the rate for example . This was possible on the old DAT program before it went to web based . Great app overall though thank you .
