I don't have answers, just another question. Does anyone have a recommendation for a registrar who is particularly active in the trucking or transportation industry? Or if this is a better question for another thread, let me know.
David, I think the question itself is ticklish, and could be better phrased.
Asking for a 'recommendation' in a public forum is... well, at the least, unlikely to elicit much response.
Even if I did know one (I don't), I would never publish any kind of recommendation in this forum (or any other). Indeed, I do not make recommendations even to my clients. I will give them a few names of reputable CBs who I've seen at work and am satisfied with; I will if asked give them my experience/opinion of some CBs but I prefer to do it verbally and will only very rarely do it in writing. After all, things might change - the last thing I want is something hanging around on the web for ever with a good/bad opinion or recommendation of some organisation that might change.
And asking for a recommendation? I don't think it's a good or fair question here. There are various people who contribute strongly to the forum who are employed by CBs and/or who audit for them/contract for them. Then there are otheres who arrived quite recently and/or contribute little. Yet what would you expect any of them to say - pick
mine? We are
terrific? How 'unbiassed' is that? It's not, and it's more like blatant advertising.
For another, people don't really know who you are or why you are seeking this info. For all anyone knows, you might be a registrar 'checking out the competition'.
There's probably other things at work too - I'd suggest you ask for something other than a 'recommendation' - eg, experiences? encourage PMs perhaps, etc. But to anyone asking for a CB 'recommendation' - don't be surprised if you get:
- few/no/ responses from people at organisations that are good
- lots of responses from people at organisations that may not be good
- individual responses from people which may not be particularly representative or subjective (or even fair perhaps).
