Fake Loads on DAT Board - New Owner Ops Beware

Actually this is the second time in 2 weeks that I saw fake loads on the DAT board. Actually, now since I've paid more attention to this power only in particular, I think I saw double that in 2 weeks. They just were not interesting so I glossed over it.

Anyway, in this video I'll show you some things to do if you find a load that looks too good to be true.

And some of the things I point out you might not be aware of if you're new owner operator.

I have to upload another video telling you about a fake Amazon load I went to pick up the other day.

And by the time I uploaded this video, I came across another set of fake postings on DAT. This is getting ridiculous. I'll show you those as well. I took a screen shot and 10 minutes later they were taken down. So I think DAT caught those pretty quickly.

If you see 4, 5 or more loads posted back to back though, that's a BIG red flag because a legit broker might do 2 or 3 that is the same or similar but they not going to go that hard because it is just like spamming.

That's only going to bring attention to them and alert DAT more easily.

Well, yall be careful and if a load seems too good to be true it probably is.
