    I'll have to look into that. Not a member of OOIDA but that's a good excuse to sign up. Thanks 'Coal.

    If you're a one truck operation probably not. Usually only an operation with more than one truck uses 3sixty. But you could try it out and see for yourself if you want to. I've never used it.

    Yes, the loads on 3sixty are also on membersedge/truckersedge. You can always call DAT and ask them, but I'm pretty sure I've asked them this before, but it's been a couple years since I had that conversation with them.

    DAT and ITS both claim to be the biggest baddest website in the west. Try both and see what you think for yourself. If you're an OOIDA member then definitely use your discount if/when you try DAT/membersEdge and save a few bucks.

    I have signed up with DAT, through OOIDA ( I think )...lol I will be trying out DAT for a couple months and if I don't like it or see a big difference from GetLoaded.com than, I will go to ITS.

    I have been a member of OIDAA from day one....but joined ITS because I felt it had a nice clean interface. DAT called me and said, "ditch them because all loads originate with us".

    I am pretty hesitant because ITS has been good to me and the brokers are seeing me and keeping me rolling.

    I would like to try DAT but I need top build up some cash first. Then I can consider yet another monthly expense.

    Seriously? You need to build up some cash before taking on a measly thirty dollar a month expense? What kind of cheap ### freight are you running?

    Oh I could afford it but I over justify every single penny....always have. I am just not sure I would need 2 and I am doubting DAT beats ITS I guess.

    I always ask where my truck was seen posted and probably 3 times out of 4 DAT wins out.

    I use both. Sometimes I'll catch a load on DAT, then I'll find the same load on ITS before someone double brokered it and get more money. Vice versa. Whatever load is posted sooner on either I'll catch. But most of my best loads have come from DAT.
