And today, we’re pulling the curtain back: CCJ is proud to introduce CCJ Reader Reviews, which will be permanently housed on CCJdigital.com via the url CCjdigital.com/reviews.
Designed to help fleet managers and executives make smart buying decisions, CCJ’s Reader Reviews provides the detailed, real-world product evaluations fleet executives have been requesting for years.
“During in-depth interviews throughout 2013, readers repeatedly told us they wanted a way to learn about their peers’ experiences with various types of equipment and products,” says CCJ Editor Jeff Crissey. “Reader Reviews is that resource, enabling fleet executives to get the pros and cons before they buy and to see how their own experiences stack up with fleets of similar size and operational structure.”
To gather the reviews, CCJ editors ask qualified fleet operators to evaluate certain products they already use. Reviewers rank each truck, component or technology on specific criteria from a low of 1 to a high of 5. They can also comment on their overall experiences with the product or service.
Evaluations are collected through online surveys and interviews. Each criteria’s numerical score is an average of all reviewers’ criteria scores; a product’s overall ranking is an average of numerical scores.
