As many on here already know we've been working on a much improved courier directory.

We've updated our test version again recently and would love you to give it a try to see how you find it.

The Directory looks good...

On a visual note where is states INVALID GIT it does not to me look easy on the eye, I think in a straight column would look better and then the tracking box to the left of that column.

Is INVALID GIT the correct term as opposed to NO GIT SUBMITTED.

Just an opinion.

I agree with you, it's a question of space available. I'll see if this can be improved.

Just an opinion.

Again you have a valid point and the answer again is the space taken (especially when the map is open). I'll bear your comments in mind. Thanks.

Just a quick reminder... Use the Trust system (on old or new directory) as much as possible, as it helps our alert system know who you like to trade with.

As a Vendor, you're more likely to get your favourite couriers alerted to your work if you have Trusted them.

As a Courier, you're more likely to get alerted to work if you have a high Trusted rating.

If someone Trusts you on mtvan, please feel free to Trust them back, if you think it's appropriate.

So we strongly recommend that everyone should spend a few minutes going through the directory clicking on the Trust button on people they know and/or trade with.

Looks very good when is it coming into operation

Thanks, it's just being finished off and will be on the site properly very soon, but it's actually live and working now, so feel free to use it.

The map shows the gps tracking from the iphone app, as well as everything else, so if you have an iphone just search the appstore for the free mtvan app. By far the best way of getting alerts, as the alerts follow you around.

As I have previously suggested, if the directory can be used by od's looking for backloads it may be beneficial if Courier Companies were highlighted in a different colour, say black, the od will then know if he's delivering near to a black pin it may well be worth ringing in.

I think Steve 3D has a point which could prove usefull to the od and maybe the vendor, but those that ring are not guaranteed to have GIT though?, but all in all it looks good, and straight away you can see all info, who has and hasnt submitted GIT usefull for when looking for someone to cover a urgent job, shame the no git out numbers those with git though.

All in all a very usefull tool, with additional buttons and a map.

Wouldn't it be better to show who has GIT in green instead of these with invalid GIT so that we can see who has GIT.

Can we opt to have our listing hidden from public view to stop scamming con men who have been kicked off every exchange site for non payment from ringing unsuspecting drivers? (you know who you are!) there is another site who are having this problem with Devon bloke.

You have to earn 200 rep (even if you're PRO) to get contact details, which we think solves most of this problem. It's too much effort for the average cold caller.

Perhaps we could add the option of hiding contact details though (a contact through the site only option).
