DAT iQ

I am able to get a mileage as well as a rate all on the same page. I appreciate seeing the history as well when deciding what rate to use on a particular lane.

The ease and the amount of users on the platform makes it easy to find a truck fast.

DAT has helped us know the market rates compared to our budget.

Have been a member since 2015 and DAT iQ continues to reinvent and grow its capability on transportation management.

I love the lane by lane data, it helps take market insight and really drill down to what my organization is seeing that might be different due to volume/lane/mode mix...vs what the C-suite may be hearing generally.

DAT iQ is a crucial datapoint to keep us in the know on market movement.

“What do you like best about DAT iQ?” Helps keep my rates consistent and correctly quoted. My customers have us ship prepaid more often than picking up themselves.

The resources that DAT IQ provides is invaluable for what we need to accomplish in our division.

I like that I am able to simply enter the origin and destination cities of a shipment and get visibility to up-to-date spot market rates on truckloads.

DAT iQ Tools enable me to provide a level of confidence regarding a client's performance to the market when it comes to transportation pricing. DAT iQ does that by having a very detailed approach and methodology that takes into account a lot of different factors that affect a transportation rate...The willingness of the DAT team members to walk a customer through the data and why a benchmark looks the way it does and not just "wave away" variability, is also important. Knowing and being confident in the math behind the service is critical for us.

I love how easy to use it is, I use it every day for my load management. I can have visibility on how the market is acting, if my rates are in the correct direction. I love the Market Overview Map where I can see which states are HOT, so I can negotiate better with the customer and carriers, it is really helpful in every aspect!

I've been using it every day to get a feel of the market and what the rates are looking like in certain areas and it's been extremely accurate and it has helped me make a bit of profit in these tough times. It is easy to integrate and if you have any questions there's a quick support team that takes care of your problems... It is very easy to use and very user-friendly....Being able to provide your customers with real and accurate information is definitely an upper hand because that is how to grow the relationship, giving them transparency and information that only select tools can provide.

I love how it is easy to navigate and provides every bit of information needed for freight and analytics.

The outbound market conditions index is a game changer for our operations team.

DAT iQ is set up so well and makes functionality a breeze.

I think what is most helpful about DAT is that it is a comprehensive platform that offers various features and tools for freight transportation and analytics. Some of the advantages are that the platform utilizes advanced data analytics to provide predictive freight market insights. It helps users anticipate future demand, identify potential capacity constraints, and optimize their operations accordingly.

Better tech than what we previously used! I imagine it will continue to get better as I continue to get used to it.

DAT iQ assists me in spot quoting for customers at any given time. It exposes me to carriers that frequently search or post for a particular lane.

I enjoy the ease of use, I can’t think of any negatives.

I like rateview most because it allows me to find rates quickly when quoting. I’m able to source trucks in 10 minutes or less.

DAT shows you the weekly average market rates and compares that to your load history on the same graph enabling a quick benchmark view that speaks loudly. This view gives you quick access to the best carriers for a particular lane. DAT IQ is one of the tools we use to benchmark ourselves against the market and see where we are doing good and where we can benefit from putting in more time and effort.

DAT aggregates and presents data that we would otherwise have no access to. Along with this, they offer great predictive models and serve this data in varying ways (frontend, api, etc.). We are solving a multitude of problems from improving spot pricing to using the DAT services to do better on RFPs. We have found their predictive models to be accurate (within their error bounds). We are also able to build our own pricing strategies based on DAT data.

It's very easy to use DAT for multiple functions. Personally, I love being able to use the DAT Rate Board view, that way I know where I should be on all pricing for any freight that may be coming in. With DAT Solutions we do a lot of pricing so that it can help with our bidding on freight. Loads and Lanes we have no idea on, we now have a good idea of what we're looking to pay.

The most liked thing about DAT Load Board is the way it is presented to the people. It is available on all devices like Android, IOS, Windows, Mac OS, etc. I can access DAT from foreign countries as well because a foreign IP address does not lock it. The most crucial benefit of DAT is that DAT is the biggest provider of loads, so it has more loads than every other company on the market.
