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. ----- ### "Beware of fraud brokers" — 3.0/5 > **Balwinder** | *14 May 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Load postings are good. We have good experience with DAT load board. App is advanced with load filter options. > > **Cons**: These days so many brokers are fake . We have had bad experience in booking load and not getting paid. DAT should lot let bad brokers or fraud accounts to post loads. Plan Price > > Good. But the fake brokers with new MC\# should go through verification process they don’t even have a office . ----- ### "DAT began my career and rocketed us to the company we are today\!" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *3 September 2023* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. ----- ### "Please bring the TOLL option back" — 5.0/5 > **mohit** | *19 May 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The accessibility of the loads at few clicks and choosing options > > **Cons**: Few load when they don’t have MC\# number at bottom and unable find are they real company or face brokers > > Not bad . I like it pretty much. I’m just missing 1 option that’s you guys had toll charge on the load ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/363724/dat-load-board?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/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
