If your resume was accepted, it will give you a reference number. In the event you need to view, edit or delete your resume in the future you will need this reference #. Your resume will stay on our file for 6 months, unless you remove it sooner. There is no charge to post your resume on this site. Once you have clicked the submit button, your resume is live for our paid subscribers to see. If your qualifications match what they are looking for in a driver, they will contact you directly. You will not have a username or password for posting your resume.

B. To search for drivers, if you have a paid account you simply login to the database and fill out the "Driver Search Page". If you are a paid subscriber it will give you the contact information on the resumes' so you can contact the drivers directly. If you are not a paid subscriber you will be able to see the number of resumes we currently have on file that match your needs based on the search criteria you entered which will help you determine if there are enough applicants listed in your area to become a subscriber. We keep the resumes' on file for 6 months, but send out reminders every 30-45 days to remind the applicants their resume is still posted on our board. At the bottom of each resume you will see a date entered or updated to give you an idea on how long the resume has been posted. When filling in the state(s) you are searching for be sure to use state abbreviations in stead of typing the whole state name and in the "Driver Location" box you must choose to look by state or by xx # of miles of a certain city/state. Filling out both areas will result in no matches being found.

No, Trucker Search is simply a website for people who are looking for a truck driving job to place their resume. To the best of our knowledge the information posted on a resume is true, however we do not perform and background checks.

11. Why does it bring up zero applicants found in my search?
You must be sure to use state abbreviations. If you are searching multiple states please use state abbreviations separated by commas. If it does not matter where the driver lives, please leave this field blank. In the "Driver Location" area you must fill in either the state the driver lives in or the # of miles of a city/state. If you attempt filling out all/both boxes it will result in a message that says no resumes found. Another tip, if it does not list any drivers, you might try lowering the number of years experience you selected.
