Owner Operator Jobs
Across the internet, thousands of websites promise to find owner-operators great gigs if they just fill out one application, but deciding which of these sites has the best information, resources, and databases is not often as easy as locating them. But by frequenting these five job banks for owner-operators, truckers will find unique resources for finding the best employers in the business.
In addition to a feature that allows owner-operators to fill out one application to be considered for a variety of jobs, this website includes a selection of unique features that allow owner-operators to educate themselves on the kind of jobs they are looking for. One of the most informative of these features is a best trucking companies list, which breaks owner-operator trucking companies into categories by type (van, reefer, flatbed, etc.), and lists the top companies in each. The list also gives detailed information about these best companies. Other resources include a searchable job bank, message board, job postings, and list of other helpful links.
More than just a job recruitment site, Premium Owner Operators is a one-stop shop for owner-operator truck drivers. Like most owner-operator job banks, this third party site uses an application to connect owner-operators looking for work with the trucking companies that best fit them. In addition to the internet-based application, this site is unique in that it also offers an application by phone. But the really unique part of this site is that it offers a variety of other resources for owner-operators, like trucking news, links to road condition updates, and insurance.
Unlike some sites, which offer job banks for the entire trucking industry, 1099 Trucker is one of the few that are specifically for owner-operators. This narrows down the job field, and insures that owner-operators will not get annoying calls or offers from jobs that do not apply to them. Like other job banks for owner-operators, this site separates jobs into category by the kind of truck, but one of the best features of the site is the “urgent needs” category. This category lists companies that are in immediate need of owner operators, allowing potential contractors to view the companies that are most likely to hire them. For those that don’t like to do a lot of searching and wading through companies, this is the fastest route to the most needy companies!
Though this site offers job banks for all kinds of truckers, whether owner-operators or company drivers, it contains a rather large owner-operator job bank. Allowing a search by state, and providing links to extensive company profiles, this site leaves little research to be done by the job seeker. A brief list of preferred trucking companies and trucking news section also make this site useful to the searching owner-operator.
While other sites might provide vast resources, lengthy job banks, and telephone applications, Layover.com is the owner-operator resource to use for job seekers who want a reputable name and a solid record of service. Layover.com has been connecting truckers and employers for over ten years, according to their website, and it is a certainly respected in the cyber community of truckers and those involved in the trucking industry. In addition to filling out a multi-job application on layover.com, truckers can peruse a list of trucking companies and profiles, and search job classifieds. Like popular job search websites like Monster.com, Layover.com allows users to post a profile, save it, and edit it at any time. And when truckers are done filling out applications, they can enjoy one of layover’s many other services, like trucking software and message boards.
Though looking for a new job is never easy, the internet has made it simpler than ever, especially for owner-operators. With a couple keystrokes and a couple clicks, after visiting these sites, truckers will be closer to that dream job.

Those sites are all reay good ones, but I’d like to add another site to look at. It is http://www.driverrecruiting.com and it is a great site that is easy to use and has thousands of jobs listed. We all need some help right now getting good leads. Thanks used semitrailers.com for your help. We don’t know what will happen to any of us after this trucker shutdown takes hold. Good luck to all.
