DAT creating fraud together
TheLoadOut and JonJon78 Thank this. -
DAT basically has a monopoly on the load boards. They are getting phished and scammed 6 ways from sunday. They only care that you pay the monthly bill and thats it. I know there were at least 70 fraud brokers posting out of Armenia alone. Not counting the Uzbek and Indian call centers out there. so maybe 300 scammers out there double brokering. Landstar being the model all these dudes use.....

I’m not impressed at all by dat. Don’t see another platform to take its place for my line of work either. Commenting Surge, supposed to get paid by surge via triumph pay note then Aug 15. Shall see!
Media keeps referring them as a digital broker.?! I have 2 loads for them and I haven’t noticed anything digital. Am I missing something here? Are they trying to shift blame on digital technology other than their college educated personnel that can’t keep a ledger?!Last edited: Jul 29, 2023

Surge is posting on truckstop load board also. I don’t trust load boards either. But being a new authority seems that is the only way into this industry to establish relationships with brokers,
TheLoadOut Thanks this.
