## Reviews

### "DAT Review" — 4.0/5

> **Erik** | *23 June 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: DAT load board provides details on the cost of the load which provides more insight for owner operators.
> 
> **Cons**: DAT doesn’t offer details on if brokers are approved for factoring with more than one factoring provider. There insight on freight brokerages and their standings are limited.
> 
> DAT has been one of the best overall best load boards compared to any other platform out today for carriers and freight brokers.

### "DON'T USE KEYPOINT TMS" — 1.0/5

> **Dale** | *3 September 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The efficiency of building loads and being able to save shipping and receiving locations. That is it.
> 
> **Cons**: Not mobile friendly. Nobody has answers. Told the system has capabilities but didn't say it required more hidden fees\! They were quick to send over a contract and told me all of the things the system does, but didn't say more subscriptions were required, per user. Told their system has a loadboard but required another subscription. Went to do that and was told it also cost per month per user just to be able to post directly to the loadboard. This system has NO internal load board. You can only post what is built in loads\! Told rateview is built into the system, it is not. Requires the same subscription as the load board. Guess what? Also requires another additional subscription, per user.
> 
> Terrible. DO NOT SIGN THE CONTRACT. There are much much better TMS systems out there\! EZ Loader, Ascend and many others\! Told weeks ago that everything would be cancelled, still taking money out. Still not refunded. They are an absolute joke. Don't expect help from \[sensitive content hidden\]  or even answers. He only wants your money\!\! Possibly worse than a car salesman\!
