Penton's American Trucker Adds Data Update and Search Enhancements to Trucker.com Web Site

NEW YORK--Penton Media’s American Trucker^®, a leading publication and information provider serving the business-to-business truck sales market for new and used trucks, trailers, parts and services, today announced data delivery and search enhancements to its recently relaunched www.trucker.com Web site.

American Trucker can now place advertiser equipment data on the site from seller-supplied digital files, helping advertisers to quickly and accurately post available equipment for the growing community of online truck and trailer buyers. The new program provides sellers with increased control over their available equipment listings. Equipment offerings can be modified individually or in bulk, via a weekly digital upload.

“Digital delivery of dealership equipment data to the American Trucker Web site will speed the listing process and allow advertisers to maintain their inventory in their existing business systems,” said Richard White, general manager. “Advertisers can move equipment listings to the Web faster than ever before, enhancing sales opportunities.”

Trucker.com’s industry-leading search tools have been enhanced to allow buyers to also filter results by zip code, detailed location of equipment and additional categories, including vocational trucks. These new filtering options, combined with those already available, help buyers of heavy-duty trucks and trailers find the equipment they need quickly and efficiently.
