New page to use to compare companies...
 

We have put together a new query on our site that will do a side by side comparison of all of the companies that we work with and it can be found here...

For ClassADrivers.com Companies
http://www.classadrivers.com/index.p...ting&ListAll=1

For OwnerOperatorJob.com Companies
http://www.owneroperatorjob.com/inde...ting&ListAll=1

These links should list all of our companies and their;
Starting Pay
Min. Age Requirements
Min. Exp. Requirements
Hire Team (Y/N)
Hazmat Req. (Y/N)
DWI Policy
Felony Policy
Max. Moving Violation
Max. Preventable Accidents

This should sum everything all up into one nice neat little package for our visitors.

If you click on the blue underlined headers, the list should sort by that value for you.

Hope this helps everyone.

very cool idea.... 8)

Well I am impressed....I went in and changed something in the company profile and it was reflected immediately!

Aw Shucks..... it was nuthin' :P

Nice Comparison
 

Hey Cad, i like the site you created with each company and posted them, side by side. Gives us Rookies a good reference in looking for a job. Keep up the good work. :)

HEY
 

COOL BONTON GOT LOVE IT

This is great!
 

CAD - I love it! I found a couple more companies to look at using this method. Thanks!

Great Idea!
 

Very useful, information is easy to find now! Thanx! :D

This is GREAT!
 

How does a company get on the list?

If they are a client of ours, they make the list....

Thanks, I was just curious if drivers could recommend certain companies or not.

need a job that will take me with a felony
 

hey I wanna know if i had a felony common law robbery at the wrong place at the wrong time with a family member I got charged with it my first and only charge in my life i wanna know what company i can get wit with that on my record no cdl or have never seen a truck before in my life :?: a friend of mine drive but every company on the net said it need to be about five years old help me :roll:

Almost all Interstate carriers will not touch anyone with a felony conviction less than five years old and there are others that will not touch anyone with a conviction PERIOD!!!!

The best thing to do is try to find a local hauler to gain the experience then try again however, with the ever tightening security BS, potnetial drivers with felonies are going to find it increasingly difficult to find a decent driving job, especially hauling Haz-Mat!!!!

If I read my Ohio info letter for my renewal correctly, you are disqualified from Haz-Mat in Ohio for certain types of felonies .

New Page use to compare companies
 

I have to tell the boss about this. She will like the new loadboard. Good job Cad

i went to yout site and i see this on them

"Tractor Requirements
Max. Year of Tractor:
6 year or less."

what does that mean???

Means the tractor must be a 1998 or newer that you are bringing on as an owner operator.

ok, thank you.

The list
 

Just wondered why Schneider isn't on the Company Driver list.

Because they are not a client of ours. The list only shows current Classadrivers.com clients (unlike some other websites that fluff up their client list)

comparison board
 

Yes, CAD your board was very helpful. I talked to a couple of companies and selected one from your list. I told them I pick them because of this site. ClassADrivers.com thank, Steven

I know I use the comparison provided alot ..I love it

I admit good idea
 

And it helps us recruiters out too when applicants are confused because those who put us in a bad light are telling them often what is incorrect or embellished.

Just one critique though. I went through the list and I feel that it is misinforming drivers because as a comparison, many of them in their full listing say that they take recent student graduates, but in your comparison chart, alot of companies, including mine show that experience starts at 6 months or more. The comparison should show the companies that do accept students as taking drivers with no experience except for having completed a driving school course. I noticed that probably 6 to 10 of them had a "Driving School Training" listing and that should be equivalent to make the comparison relevant.

Also, how come we aren't listed in the Owner Op comparison chart?

Thanks.

great site
 

this site is absouletly great!!!!! with everythink side by side is awesome instead of clicking on and waiting for a new window just to find out quailifcations KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!

felony
 

hey take away go to the link here for company jobs and they have all the requirments for hiring some are 3 years foe a felony and some vairy check it out i was suprised at how many are willing to give you a second chance take care
and good luck

What if some dude wants to make 10,000,000 miles on his 1978 :roll: :lol:


Try another company I guess :sad:

Hey CAD i am new here but i was wondering where you got your info for National Carriers Inc. I am curious if i know them seeing how i worked there, and since i am looking to go back thanks

Good work!! Thats alot of research.. :shock:

company comparisons
 

That is a great resourse CAD. I am thinking of rotating out of Swift (newbie w/ 3.5 months) and this give me a great way to ck experience/$ quickly.
thanx, Howling D

Although I am not looking for a carrier, I am glad to see someone actually put the basic requirements down so you can compare and see what the requirements of different companies are. It sure beats going through all the magazines. They don't really tell you some of the things you need to know. It seems that DUI convictions have become less critical to carriers. Some used to disqualify you immediately if you had one. When I was leased to Landstar they wouldn't even talk to you if you have ever had a DWI or DUI. :sad: If the information is correct Landstar and most other carriers will take you after 5 years have passed. A few after 3 years. I didn't realize my present carrier would take anyone after a DUI conviction. Everyone deserves a second chance. In any case it is good that they are listing requirements for various carriers. Good work classadrivers. I am curious as to when these companies changed their policies. :?:

RE: Comapny compare
 

WOW! You are my hero CAD this is a great thing especially for new drivers and drivers to be GREAT WORK CAD.

Very nice and very helpful
 

I had started one of my own along these lines. How will you be notified of changes and keep it current?

Thanks for the great helpful tool.

There are still a lot of companies that do not require hazmat. I think, the more the government makes it a hassle to do hazmat, the fewer who will want to handle it.

New Site Information
 

Good deal Captain America. This is what I was looking for when I signed up for this site..Its tough for a new driver to rate carriers.... :D

Re: New Site Information
 

I think this site has the best resources for those just entering the business. There are several other sites out there but these people do a good job. :D

this site is perfect for every body to fine the info they need good job cad :D :D :D :D

It would be great to also have this kind of information on the driving schools, with hours taught, companies they work with, cost of tuition, accommodations, etc.
I am having a lot of trouble getting real information on what to expect with student-teacher ration, and condition of accommodations, maybe some references and or quotes from former and current students and company recruiters that have visited these schools would be cool!!!!
I love this site, you all do a great job running it....we have learned a lot about our new truck driving careers and what to expect..
THANKS!
Drive SAFE & HAPPY!!!!

What do you mean by the right training? What kind of training are you looking for other than something that will give you some seat time? There are a lot of companies on this site. There are others out there. There are several thousand carriers nationwide. Most of the larger carriers are listed on this site, though. Most companies will start you with a trainer, then you will go solo, then after some experience you get to try tanker or doubles, etc., It is just like eating a steak. You don't try and put the entire steak in your mouth at one time. You eat it one bite at a time. :D
