    If I were you, I'd start by using Google Maps. Since you are located in OKC, just bring up Google Maps for OKC, then search for "trucking company". It will show you the terminal locations and you can click through to the company web sites.

    Always best to find a company with a terminal close to you. Makes home time MUCH easier to manage.

    Another resource is to ask Chinatown. He's the cat's meow for finding truck companies, and I don't know how he does it.

    Your state's unemployment agency probably has a job listing database. My state's unemployment agency pulls job listings from several sources like monster, careerboard , etc,, so you're searching all of those from one place.

    Nice and simple to browse thru , esp if your employer ever leaves you sitting with nothing better to do. It's how I found my current job.

    Craigslist is best for identifying the last companies you'd want to work for, as a last resort, and probably not even then.
