Product Worth The Money

We are gaining capacity in areas we don't normally move freight - which grows our book of business

PROS

The loadboard brings us capacity when we don't have it in our current network

CONS

The API integration is relatively good, but could be improved in many ways

Reasons for switching to DAT iQ

Because Truckstop simply didn't have the dry van capacity we needed nor the most up-to-date rating tools.

Know your truck & know your numbers

I did need some walk-through tutorials and it's very nice that DAT offers these kind of customer service

PROS

The ability to get real time data, and check the efficiency of an asset, of a drivers performance, & understanding the numbers for different laned to make profit now, but also in the future

CONS

it's a bit pricey for what we get. There are competitors that are up to 50% less, but DAT definitely has brand recognition and is number one in the industry

Reason for choosing DAT iQ

it's a platform that we have grown comfortable & accustomed to. The driver knows how to use apps and data properly.. do not want to disrupt this

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.

PROS

Super user friendly and quickly deployed to look for options or rates on anything customers request.

CONS

Many misusers, scammers and double brokers are still being allowed into the platform and not purged after dozens of reports from brokers and trucking companies alike.

Solid Product!

Better tech than what we previously used! I imaghine it will continue to get better as i continue to get used to it.

PROS

It has been very easy to implement into my day to day work. Whether its quoting a new project or finding new capacity to cover existing loads, it is very useful. The DAT team has also been very responsive with any questions ive had.

CONS

Normal growing pains. Getting people using a new system when they are used to an old one.

Excellent Service

PROS

DAT provides multiple intelligence solutions that are critical to running our business. The system is very easy to use, utilizes a large sample set of data, and we have found it to be an invaluable resource in all pricing and market intelligence exercises.

CONS

DAT is a bit more expensive than alternative solutions but does offer value for the price.

Plenty of Features

DAT iQ assists me in spot quoting for customers at any given time. It exposes me to carriers that frequently seach or post for a particular lane.

PROS

The Dashboard gives me a snapshot of what is happening in the market at any given moment that I login. I can see what is happening around the country, and see what capacity is available in determining rates to customers. Market Conditions tab is probably the second most important feature DAT iQ offers me. Rateview is a lifesaver for instant quotes.

CONS

Least favorite aspect of DAT iQ is not being able to find the time to explore everything.

Vendor Response

We're glad you're enjoying DAT and appreciate your feedback!

Product works Great for What we need

PROS

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

CONS

While I like the easy layout. I wish there were more features I could toggle and add to the data, if I need to

PROS

I like that the quoting software is more accurate than other options. The software is easy to use.

CONS

After the last update you have to click on more buttons to get to where you need to be on the page. Also, the "refresh" button is on the other side of the page now. Brokers use the refresh button waaayyy more than delete button. They should switch the two buttons.
