Do you require both loadboards as a CDN carrier? Or can you use DAT only? What are the pros/cons for both? Does Loadlink offer API integrations with TMS software for posting trucks like DAT?
 
I’m using both I love dat much better than link! If u r doing US lot it’s good coz us broker post at dat first!
Can you find the identical loads on Link vs DAT? DAT has an API link with our TW TMS, but Link does not for posting trucks.
 
I spoke to our DAT account rep yesterday and he told me some key notes. Approximately only 80% of the LOADLINK loads come through to DAT due to older software on the LOADLINK side. There is also approx a 5 min time delay before a load shows up on DAT. This could be the difference between seeing and booking a load if I understand this right.
