Chose Truckstop Load Board
When I am looking to find a load for our trucks, I like to use DAT Power load board, first. I go only use Truckstop.com, as a back up to check for any loads, that might not be appear on the DAT. In my opinion, when seraching for details on loads DAT is easier to use.

We are using this tool for years in our organization; it is playing a significant role in our organization.

When I am looking to find a load for our trucks, I would use DAT load board first. I go on Truckstop.com to find loads, just in case there might be a load posted that doesn't appear on the DAT. In my opinion, Truckstop.com has too many windows open when I'm looking for more details on a particular load.
