Does Trendsource still do onsite inspection?

July 15, 2021 02:39PM
Does The Source (a.k.a. Trendsource) still do onsite inspections? I did many of them years ago and was hoping to get started again. I have not seen any solicitations in a while. Of course, I would need a new background check.

They do. They are very stingy with PAD now.

They are the absolute lowest pay for this.

I think you won't see them until you do the background check.

I find the pay to be fair (recently, $175 for a 3 hour drive, around which I was able to build a quite profitable route), and very fast. I do constantly get emails for out-of-area shops; if it's 200 miles, I tell them $200. If they accept it, I build a route. If they don't, well -- they don't.

No background check and I get offers daily. I can get over double on every local one from other companies so pay is beyond poor. I get super good mileage from other companies too. You can keep them,

Are you all still seeing them in similar numbers as before? I have dramatically fewer near me. I do still get occasional contacts asking me to do one over 100 miles away for $25-35 PAD. Needless to say, I haven't done one in a while.

Positively other companies do them and every single one is double to quad tripe Trendsource. I get trends at least three a day. Decline every one..

We Go Look does them for vehicles. They pay the following week.
DataQuest does OSIs. I never did work for them.

I am not registered with We Go Look, but I checked my status with DataQuest LTD and found out I had turned off my email notification for some strange reason! Thank you HoneyBrown, I turned it back on. Are those the only three companies that do onsite business verifications?

Those are the only ones that I know of. Sassie will turn off your email if you aren't active.
