My husband is out on the road right now so I'm behind the scenes trying to find a co-driver for him. We've posted on craigslist, no hits at all for some reason. I'm having issues with Indeed, hoping they'll allow us to advertise there. Is there any other sites or recommendations? He runs for Panther and Panther leaves it up to the owner operators to find their co-drivers.

Owner Operator:

An owner-operator is a driver who either owns or leases the truck they are driving. A self-employed driver.

What is a chuckdriver? Is that a driver who hauls ground chuck? Or woodchucks? Perhaps a driver named Chuck?

In all seriousness though, is there a reason you can't team with your husband? If you have children to take care of or a career you're already highly invested in that's understandable; I only ask because many people don't consider it.

As for finding a codriver, keep trying Craigslist and add pictures to your ads to make them more enticing (even public domain stock photos are fine). Make sure your ad is well written and spaced out (not one big block paragraph). Other than that, perhaps try posting paper ads in truck stops in your hometown. A staffing agency will probably be able to help you but they'll want to be paid for their services and there's usually no guarantee they'll find someone.

I'll be looking for a co-driver by August 20th. Otherwise, did Craigslist help?

Rick, if you go to work for a company that has teams they'll almost certainly be able to pair you up with someone. Right now we don't know anything about you. If we knew a little bit about your current situation and what your goals are we could steer you in the right direction.
