    When I get finished and go to the register and submit page... Even though I'm logged in. Then when I hit the button, it says that the email address is already in use.

    Good feedback, thanks. I'll put in some N/A for the rating fields so you can choose whether or not to answer it.

    With pay, I'd say the information is still valid and useful for other drivers, even if you're not running as hard as possible. You could just put that information in the body of the review.

    Ah, we already received your review by the time you hit that second page. We'll get it fixed so you don't see that second page when you're logged in. If you tell me which companies you reviewed (you can use the Conversation tool if you don't want it out in public) I'll confirm that they were both received.

    I'm doing some manual categorization of the equipment types people post. A review for Hill Bros has 'Cans' as the equipment type. That's intermodal containers, right?

    That's definitely slang for containers, but I'm pretty sure they are a dry van carrier, so possibly a typo. Tho I could be confusing then with someone else.

    Great, thanks for the confirmation. Hill Bros advertises drayage on their website in addition to van, so containers makes sense, then. My first thought was that 'cans' was tankers, glad to have that cleared up.

    Can the person who submitted a review for a "Private Carrier" please contact me with the actual name of the carrier? There's no point in publishing a review of an anonymous company.

    In looking at the reviews two things immediately come to mind.
    1-Looks to me like some of the salaries claimed are way overstated.
    2-If someone is going to take the trouble to post the supposed pay, then why not fill out the questionnaire?
    Also, knowing drivers, are we going to get righteous information, or sour grapes? Is there anything to prevent recruiters coming on here and making misleading praise for their company?
    I believe you have a good idea here, I just wonder how something as subjective as this, is going to work out.

    I agree. There are going be drivers who got terminated for a failed random drug test come here and just slam the company.

    Cans are containers, and refrigerated containers have been called banana cans or produce cans by others as well as myself. Intermodal divisions often use these.
