    Your opinion?? I’m currently using DAT.. I did not say it’s the best.. I’m simply saying it’s the only one I’m using currently due to me just starting out booking my own freight .. until I hear of something interesting that will make me decide to try it out..

    I wish I had a load board that would show me weather conditions and terrain and landscape.. that would solve a lot of things

    My opinion

    Nothing wrong with using several load boards. Many of the fees are low enough that if you get one decent load per month from a board, it probably pays for itself.

    Maybe you could find a board that would also tell you how fast or slow shipper and receiver are, how hard the docks are to back into, what time the food trucks come by. I still don’t know how we ran without cell phone, gps, internet load boards, private showers, satellite tv, Xm radio, and power steering.
