2005-04-22 17:52:42

Akron, PA. (April 22, 2005) — Layover.com (www.layover.com) is happy to announce its new partnership with TIES, LLC which operates www.DOTJobHistory.com, offering web-based driver reporting for both drivers and trucking companies.

Drivers who fill out an online application with Layover.com may now order personal information on themselves that they can review for accuracy and completeness. Drivers are then able to make their information available to prospective employers by including a DOTJobHistory seal on their Layover.com job application. Carriers can then click the seal to access the verified information instantly. This process will help carriers quickly determine the applicants that best fit their qualification standards.

The basic information that can be obtained includes:

  • identity authentication
  • social security number validity review
  • address and phone authentication
  • national security and narcotics watch lists
  • criminal record database scan (over 100 million records ) of traffic and criminal offenses (including violent, incarceration and sexual offender)
  • a search of the National Driver Register

Drivers will also have a premium option which will enable them to receive their own MVR, have their employment history independently verified and include these items in their on-line portfolio to the prospective employers they choose.

Bruce Martin of Layover.com stated, "Layover.com is always striving to make identifying and hiring drivers from online applications easier for carriers. This new partnership now allows carriers to identify and focus on the drivers that best meet their needs."

Derek Hinton, CEO of DOTJobHistory.com added, "Motor carriers have to evaluate a lot of applications, sometimes spending time and money to ultimately determine that an applicant's background information doesn't meet their qualifications. DOTJobHistory addresses both these issues."

As a special offer, current Layover.com driver applicants can elect to subscribe at no cost (normally $24 per year) until May 31st, 2005 to DOTJobHistory when filling out their application. In addition, Layover.com member carriers can subscribe to the DOTJobHistory service as a "Layover.com Partner" and be offered unlimited driver reports at no cost until May 31, 2005 if they use the partner code "layover."
