DAT recently launched an Ad campaign worded to appear as if DAT had a load board specifically for SPRINTER VANS. SYLECTUS HAS AN EXCELLENT DATA BOARD. HOWEVER DAT HAS NOTHING EVEN CLOSE TO SYLE... See more

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'... See more

I paid for a subscription for two users and had my driver login to search loads using my new MC. I got banned for good, so they say because a third person who was my driver, was searching for loads. C... See more

Only board I use.

I like the new revised board. It is easy to find the loads I want for the date I want. It has the brokers information and usually the rate offered. It makes my job a lot easier.

It is important to have protection, app well arrange based on the filter, to keep high stardand professionalism a

Sometimes the filters don't work properly and some loads are not visible. Additionally, there is no protection against scams and no easy way to report unprofessional broker behavior.

Board Refreshing and Alarms Set

I understand that when growing your board there will be problems; however, the new way that the system is refreshing the screen is causing us to miss loads. If we do not stay on the board and interact with it the board stops refreshing. I set the alarm on the system to notify me of new loads when working on something else. When I come back to the board it locked and I have to manually refresh...this takes 2 sometime 3 screens to do it and now I missed the load that would have worked for us.

Load info need to filled

The load information is very important to me when I am booking a load. However some brokers don’t filled all the info or missing a lot of info about the loads. Like load and delivery date and time. Some even don’t have the rates on. This makes dispatchers and owner operators have to call or email them for it, which is waste of time. I hope you guys can do something to improve and make things clear.

We're sorry to hear about your difficulty with the app. All rates shown on the search results list are the brokers offer rates and if missing it means the broker did not provide an offer rate. If you have further questions we'd love to get in contact with you to offer assistance. Please reach out to us at 800.547.5417 or at customer.support@dat.com.

Lowboy & Hotshot separation

My experience on the DAT load board has been good. Would like to see separation for hotshot, I feel like hotshot should be in a separate group away from specialized decks or in with other. I run RGN & Have a hard time with all the hotshot loads being on the same page.

Detailed information

It should be mandatory that brokers post pick-up and delivery times. Also pay. That would eliminate calling brokers and wasting time on the phone.
