TruckersReport has always had the mission of helping as many drivers as possible, which is why we think it’s important to provide the tools we build, such as HAMMER, for free. We’ve built relevant driver resources into our tools, such as our job board and a truck insurance cost calculator. When drivers apply to work with employers and service providers that interest them, those companies pay us for connecting them with potential employees and customers. This is how we’ve supported and grown the tools we’ve offered drivers since 2005.
