Frequently Asked Questions

• It's difficult enough to find drivers; why would we want to reject applicants?  WayPoint™ rejects approximately 15% of drivers who might have made it into your driver pool.  That's about the same percentage that, in hindsight, you wish you had not hired.  The key point is that WayPoint quantifies the risk your company faces with each applicant.  Then YOU make the informed decision whether to hire or wait, given the supply of drivers and the wage you can pay.

• Does WayPoint fulfill EEOC requirements?  Yes.  And, as with all claims made by WRI, we have the data to prove it.

• Other tests advertise 90% accuracy.  Haven't you found that WayPoint™ is 65% accurate?  Tests that make such claims leave out a crucial fact: the false-alarm rate.  WayPoint's false alarm rate is less than 9%.  We could easily make WayPoint "90% accurate" but that would also make the false alarm rate unacceptably high (at least with the current shortage of drivers).  If you don't know the false alarm rate of a test, you really don't know anything.

• How can a 4-minute test assess collision-proneness?    Because, in a collision, the "moment of truth". . . takes just a moment.  WayPoint assesses how people react during the "moment of truth".  As the airline pilots like to say, "We make our money 5 minutes per year".  The same goes for drivers.

• How can WayPoint assess a driver's risk without asking questions?  WayPoint does not substitute for knowledge of procedures or driver training.  But it does assess the abilities that drivers habitually use moment-to-moment and day-to-day (after the training has worn off).  Just as it makes sense to routinely screen airline pilots before they are hired, it makes sense to test drivers where life and assets are at stake.
