The honest version — what we do, what we don't, and why this isn't another job board.
Nothing. Free forever. No subscription, no premium tier, no upsell.
Our Promises
Carriers never see your name — not your first name, not your last name, not any part of it. Other drivers don't either. In pay benchmarks, you appear as your role and equipment ("owner-operator, reefer, 8 years"). In carrier reviews, you appear as nothing at all — every review is anonymous. The only person on HelloTrucker who knows your full name is you.
When you rate a carrier, the carrier cannot see who you are. They see the rating, the role, the equipment driven, and the tenure — never your name, never your account, never anything that could identify you. This is enforced at the database level: carriers literally do not have access to that information. Rate honestly. There is no retaliation possible.
Carriers can only contact drivers who have explicitly opted in via the status toggle. "Happily employed" means you're invisible to recruiters. No exceptions, no loopholes, no "premium" carrier tier that bypasses this. You can change your status anytime, and changes are instant.
HelloTrucker doesn't sell, share, or rent driver information to any party — carriers, brokers, advertisers, or anyone else. Carriers pay to access the platform; they don't pay for your data. Your information stays yours.
Every carrier on HelloTrucker is verified before they can post offers. Every carrier is also rated by drivers like you. Bad carriers don't last here — and we publish carrier ratings openly, so drivers always know what they're walking into.
HelloTrucker is paid by approved carriers — monthly for platform access, and a placement fee when they successfully hire a driver. That's it. No ads. No data sales. No hidden fees.
Most trucking job boards make money by selling driver leads to as many recruiters as possible. That's why every CDL driver who's ever filled out a form gets blown up with calls for the next six months.
We don't do that. We charge carriers more, accept fewer of them, and put drivers in control of contact. Fewer offers, but better ones — from carriers who've been vetted and rated by the community.
No catch. We charge carriers, not drivers. The platform is free for CDL drivers forever, with no premium tier, no paid features, no upsell.
No. Never. Not your first name, not your last name, not your initials. Carriers see your role, equipment, experience, and metro area. That's it. Even if you accept an offer from a carrier, your name is only shared if you choose to share it directly with them.
No — not unless you explicitly choose to share it after accepting an offer. Even drivers in "Actively looking" status keep their contact info private until they decide to share it with a specific carrier.
No. Reviews are anonymous to carriers and to other drivers. Carriers see ratings and aggregated feedback but they cannot identify which driver submitted any specific review. This is enforced at the database level — carriers do not have access to reviewer identity.
Three ways. First, carriers can only contact drivers who've opted in via status. Second, every carrier is rated by drivers — a carrier who spams will get rated low and lose access to the community. Third, we manually approve every carrier and we remove ones who don't treat drivers right.
Carriers go through verification before they can post offers or contact drivers — DOT number, operating authority, safety record, and a manual review by HelloTrucker. We turn carriers down, and we remove ones who don't treat drivers right.
Yes, anytime. Account deletion removes your profile, ratings, and pay submissions from the platform within 30 days. Your reviews remain (anonymized) so the community data stays intact, but nothing tied to your identity remains.
Because the benchmarks are only as good as the data. Every driver who submits their pay makes the numbers sharper for everyone — including next year's version of you, when you're negotiating your next job. And remember: your pay submission is anonymous in the benchmark. No one sees that you submitted it.
Yes. When other drivers see pay data, they see the role, equipment, experience, and metro — never your name or anything else that could identify you.
