Solved Mounting ntfs usb results in "NTFS signature is missing."

I am trying to mount a perfectly functioning USB that works on my MacOS and Windows as well as Arch Linux computers but not on here on FreeBSD.

ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb
Code: 
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/da0s1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/da0s1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

gpart show
Code: 
=>        1  120127487  da0  MBR  (57G)
          1         31       - free -  (16K)
         32  120127456    1  ntfs  [active]  (57G)

ls -al /dev | grep da0
Code: 
crw-r-----   1 root  operator   0x1c1 Dec  5 15:34 da0
crw-r-----   1 root  operator   0x1c9 Dec  5 15:46 da0s1

I have attempted to load fuse and fusefs as per this reddit post and I've installed every package in pkg search ntfs.

kldload fusefs
Code: 
kldload: can't load fusefs: module already loaded or in kernel

Any ideas?
 
I solved it by insalling all the packages for mounting exfat and kldload fusefs again, then mounting the USB with: mount.exfat-fuse /dev/da0s1 /mnt. Thanks!
