Transportation compliance firm Foley Carrier Services released the Dash SaaS platform, which is designed to simplify the process of onboarding and screening while complying with DOT regulations and other requirements.
"Dash solves the significant problem of inefficient hiring processes, and uses the latest technology to bridge the gap between drivers, human resources and safety professionals," said Joel Sitak, Foley president and CEO in a statement.
With its proprietary phased screening, Dash also allows hiring managers to order specific screens throughout the hiring process. This feature ensures no resources are wasted on candidates not moving forward. Dash improves turn-around time making it possible for companies to screen and hire a new driver in as little as two days, company officials said.
The Dash driver application platform is a web-based system accessible from any phone, tablet or PC.
Driver applications can be saved and restarted at any point.
