Truck-Ops was launched in February 2007. The job board, owned and operated by Truck News, Truck West and Motortruck Fleet Executive, is hosted at Trucknews.com. Transportation companies can now sign up and submit their non-driving job opportunities for free.

Transportplanet.com was introduced earlier this year by TransCore to meet the needs of recruiters and hiring managers looking for a pool of qualified transportation professionals and entry-level job seekers.
