Extremely useful as a broker!

I use this program daily, it's a great resource for myself and coworkers. I would definitely notice a change in my daily activities if I did not have DAT iQ.

The new predictive Ratecast system has added another element to our pricing workbooks and helped us add another variable to win freight. It has been decently accurate so far

The main tool of an individual in the logistics operational quadrant

DAT is a main go-to tool for load coverage on a daily basis. However, it's security measures are to be taken with a grain of salt.DAT's current state of quality of life has made it so that our vetting process has to be more intrusive and intricate than it's ever been.
