I am just wondering in all of your opinions which load boards are best? I am looking at truckstop, DAT, and some fairly new one called directfreight. My uncle uses truckstop, but he also does hotshot and usually ends up hammering himself when he goes out loaded and delivers, to get another load.
Which load board is best?

Truckstop is good if you're a flatbedder. For dry van and reefer, DAT is better, but a bit over-priced. I just downgraded to their $80+ monthly plan from the $135 plan, because the small differences between the plans don't justify an additional $50.

Don't agree about flatbed freight. I'm using mostly DAT for flatbed freight. More loads and they showing up soonerat DAT.
Also downgraded my DAT subscription because they switched to the new DAT one system and the new desktop interface is bad. -
I run both DAT and Truckstop. I use them for lowbed, and occasional step/flat bed loads. Truckstop is 99% of my loads for lowbed. DAT is hit and miss for the rest.

It's 2 version of DAT now. DAT one - new system they want switch to and DAT power.
In my opinion, the mobile app is like 70% from DAT power desktop and around 95 % from DAT one desktop.
If I would have to choose between DAT one mobile app and Truckstop mobile app I would choose the DAT.Stringb8n Thanks this. -
Subscribe and use both!
One good paid load per month will cover the subscription cost and make profit.
And you can choose one later or let them both.
Last time with such market I use both of them.Soltaker, Midwest Trucker and Stringb8n Thank this. -

Is there a difference that's significant between the DAT One Standard and the higher priced ones? It says its recommended for partial loads, that mean that is all you will see if you select that plan with DAT?
