How to submit ratings

Search for the (un)loading site you want to rate. 

Click on it and use the option “rate“. 

Now you can submit your experience based on five categories: 
1. Safety: How is the (un)loading site handling your and everybody´s safety. Rate with stars (1 worst, 5 best).
2. Waiting time: In comparison to other sites, how long did you wait? Rate with stars (1 long, 5 short).
3. Truck driver treatment: How were you treated by the location´s staff? Rate with stars (1 bad, 5 great).
4. Driver facilities: How is the quality of facilities offered to you by the site? Are there even facilities? Rate with stars (1 there are none, 5 great facilities).
5. Total residence time spent: How long did you stay from registering at the site until leaving the site? Rate in three time categories. 
Moreover, we would like to understand the activity you are rating for with asking you about the (un)loaded product type.
When you are done, you can submit the rating!

The (un)loading site you are looking for is not yet part of the ECTA Driver APP? Reach out to us (info@ecta.com) or contact the company you are driving for to contact us. We are doing our best to grow the amount of (un)loading stations that can be rated by you!

I rated, what now?

Thank you for actively using the ECTA Driver APP and submitting good as well as honestly bad ratings – based on your experience!

We, as ECTA, are the only ones that can see your individual rating. Your connected company/companies can only see if and how many times you submitted ratings. 
We, as ECTA, only publish anonymous average ratings within the app. Moreover, we publish the best (and worst) (un)loading locations per quarter on our ECTA Website. 

With publishing this information, we want to motivate the (un)loading sites to improve their way of work thanks to your shared experiences! 
The best ones also will get an award at our ECTA Annual Meeting every year in November.
