More Hot Shot Flatbed loads with atleast $3.00 a mile
NOT enough Flatbed - Hot Shot loads, most of the ones there are do not pay well...Fuel is sometimes over half of what we make on the load, no less than a third of...It would be great if you offered loads and also have a back haul attatched....I don't understand how some people get paid well to take a load and others hardly make enough to deliver load and make it back to home lot...
The OTR team has been a blessing and the Dat Load Board has been pretty good.

Too much cheap freight.
I left the board because I got maybe 10 loads off of it in all the years we had it. Freight is too cheap.

Online platform horrible
Online platform horrible.
They IP engineers not capable to keep platform out of crashing for longer than 24 hours. Before online platform i was using they "download to PC load board version" - that was "1990 era design", crashing as well , but was much more stable. I using they product 15 years now and i have may be 3-10 days per year without program glitches.
They just CAN NOT fix they online platform now. Just not capable. Only hope - some sharks of the business, some "brain machine" will acquired them and get ALL ENTIRE IP team fired and rehired new guys..

Horrible mistake of changing software
I been using their product since 2012 they had 3sixty one of the best software I have ever used since then they change their software lat time I called when they moved me to datone its one of the worst software I spent hours on the phone and agent hang-up on me then I called and asked for manager or supervisor I told them that they get bad reviews and they replied that people don't have anything alse to do and they write bad reviews as reading all reviews I understand I'm not the only person who doesn't like their new product I'm sure trucking companies will invest in their own software and better.. truck companies let's get it done.
