DAT vs. 123 vs. the rest of the load boards

for how many trucks?

i spend about 30 bucks on each.

 

I have two trucks, but even if I had one, I still would pay that. BTW, in my opinion, ITS is not even close to DAT, they have like half the amount of the DAT loads.

 

yeah it varies by location i spose.,but he also said mobile friendly. and dat has the most obnoxious and least user friendly format of any of them.

 

Their app is really good though

 

yeah,it is an improvement.

 

Hey I have been at it for one year I must went with 123

I just went with 123 you try one if it doesn't work for you drop it

 

Is there anyplace in Northern Florida (or a more central place thereabouts) where you could store your truck for your home days, and leave a little fuel-efficient car there when you're OTR? Just a thought...

 

Just curious if you kept with 123.. or switched?

 

I have 123 and Dat but I use 123 about 99% of the time. I thought Dat was the best till I started using 123 and I've been way more profitable, with 123 I can organize by rate per mile and so I find the $4 and $5 a mile freight in a matter of seconds while on Dat I'd have to spend an hour clicking on each post and hovering over the total rate. And I've found with 123 they have better paying reefer and van loads and the credit score of most of the brokers is a lot higher than Dat. I think mostly the big hype about Dat being the best is because they have the most advertising and they're the 1st ones to pop up on Google. Just for an example I went on Dat looking for a load for this morning and the best I could find was $3 a mile and the other 90% of loads were $2 or $2.25 a mile and half of them couldn't be factored and had horrible credit scores and I spent about an hour looking through this morning. I jumped on 123 and set by highest rate per mile and found a load going within 50 miles of home paying $4.34 a mile that weighed 2k pounds less and had a higher credit score and I found that in about 30 seconds. Called up the broker and did my carrier pack in 20 mins and I'm already in a dock getting loaded. In my opinion 123 is the GOAT. And it doesn't matter all that much but I'm paying $35 a month for 123 while Dat cost $100 a month.
