How to perform a manual driving job search:
You must either login to your account or create a new account to begin a manual job search, and apply directly to trucking companies when you find a job you are interested in. Once you have successfully logged in to your account or created a new account, do the following:
Click on the "Search Trucking Jobs" tab in the upper left corner of your screen, or at the very top of the page, to visit our main search page pictured above. Select appropriate trucking job filtering options tab from the four listed.
Basic Job Search
For a basic search, select "position" and "state", then click "search jobs" to begin your search. These search results vary from state to state, so if your location borders another state close to you, search within that state as well; if you are unsure as to what you should select from the drop down "position", check out the types of trucking job positions available on ETJ.
Advanced Search
For an advanced search, select any of the other search criteria: OTR experience, equipment experience, license class, felony history, or the maximum distance you would like a company terminal to be from your home...then click "search jobs" to begin your search. These displayed companies will be filtered by the information you provided, this option is strongly suggested if you have past felonies or driving convictions, to display trucking companies that will give drivers a chance based on an individual to individual situation.
By Name
Click this tab if you know the name, or partial name, of the company you are interested in driving for. Name and acronymes vary, so try both upper and lowercase versions of the name. If you only know a few letters of the beginning of the name, try them, the results will be many, but if it's aviable on ETJ it'll be there. Call us if you have any questions.
Search Results
After you put in the information for the type of driving position you're looking for, a series of pages will be displayed, listing trucking companies by name, a brief description or "overview", and the current requirements for the positions they have open. Clicking on the company name will open a window to the company job profile ,where you can review information about the job, detailed job description, benefits offered, and home time. If you would like to apply to this company, you can add them to your cart by clicking, 'Add to Cart,' which will appear at the top and bottom of each company profile.
NOTE: Once a company is added to your cart, you have not yet applied to this job. You have the ability to remove them from your cart at any time. Once you have added all the companies to your cart you would like to apply to, you will then click “Apply Now” to send your application to all of those companies you are fully qualified to drive for.
If you do not want to apply to the company represented in the profile you are viewing, simply close this window.. Once you have done this, you will return to your list of companies and proceed with your job search.
Finishing Up
Click on 'Apply Now' when you are ready to apply to all the trucking companies in your cart. Once you have clicked on 'Apply Now,' our system will check to make sure you are fully qualified to drive for all companies you selected. You will be directed to a confirmation page where our system will let you know that your application was successfully submitted to those companies you are fully qualified to drive for, and indicate why your application was not submitted to those you were not qualified to be a trucker for.

Conclusion
Of course you can perform a manual search as often as you like, however, our system will only allow you to submit your application to the same company every seven days of your last submission. The main benefit of performing a manual search is that you control who receives your application. You can view each company profile and only send your application to companies in which you are interested in being a trucker for. Logging in allows you to check back to see when you sent your application, and to which companies, along with the date. The recruiting department and contact are listed for each company you have applied to, a great tool if you are planning to call later on to find out the status of your application with the company. As always, if you have any questions call us, Trucking Jobs, INC. at 866-383-7956.
