### "Collapsing trucking industry "

October 25, 2023

3.0

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

Reason for choosing DAT Load Board

I use it along side

Gone down hill!!!!

Pros

Prior to the change it was always current and accurate.

Cons

Since the change to DATone it’s always down. We have more days of it not working than when it does and the price went up so I’m trying to figure out why I’m paying more money for a product that only works part of the time.
