TTR Job Finder Application

I have to admit that it's not very useful yet. I just launched it this month and I'm still discovering bugs and working to get reputable trucking companies in the system. It would be a lot faster if it just worked with all the mega carriers, but that's not how I want to do things. Since I'm doing it the hard way, it's going to take several months before the job finder application is something to be proud of.

 

I definitely want to get more 'second chance' trucking companies in there. Plenty of people have had rough patches at some point in their personal lives, it shouldn't be held against them forever.

Edit to your edit: Yeah, those too. Definitely fewer reputable companies in that category, though.

 

No, I don't have any of the mega carriers in the system. I'm trying to build it with small to mid-size fleets that take better care of their drivers. It's a lot more work, but I think it's worth doing. It's going slow so far, I might have to lower my standards and start adding mega carriers next month.

 

I'm trying to build this service to help drivers get matched with better small to mid-size companies, and if I focus on drivers and the small companies first then that's who I'll be getting feedback from and making changes to help. If I'm working with the megas to start with, it's their feedback that will guide changes. It's probably better to have megas than not to have them, but I think catering to the big guys first goes against the spirit of the site.

There are good non-mega carriers that will take new drivers. For instance, Melton is in our system and is hiring drivers for flatbed work right out of school. Those are the kind of opportunities I want to help drivers find.

I'd like to do a checklist, but there are some programming hurdles to get it integrated so realistically it's something that will have to wait a few months.
