## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Use cases

- **Job seekers / recruiters** — compare pay, home time, and requirements across equipment types and states in bulk
- **Carrier research** — benchmark fleet size, pay range, benefits, and sign-on bonuses across 40 major carriers
- **Market research** — analyze state-level CDL salary and freight-corridor data for expansion planning
- **Career-content sites** — pull equipment-type guides (pros/cons, day-in-the-life, requirements) to power driver-education content
- **Lead generation** — feed job-listing data into a driver-recruiting CRM or ATS

### FAQ

**Do I need a login or API key?** No — the site is a public directory with no authentication.

**How many job listings are available?** Up to 750 (15 equipment types × 50 states), each representing one live posting page.

**What does `payMin`/`payMax` mean when the source shows a single number?** Both fields are set to that same number.

**Why do some `company` records have no `signOnBonus`?** Owner-operator carriers (e.g. Landstar, Mercer) explicitly don't offer sign-on bonuses under their revenue-share model — the field is omitted rather than set to a placeholder.

**Can I combine `equipmentTypes` and `states` with a keyword filter?** Yes — all filters compose. `searchQuery` matches against title/description (job listings), company name/about (companies), job title/description (non-CDL jobs), or company name/summary (best companies).

**How fresh is the data?** The source site republishes its carrier, state, and equipment content periodically; job-listing pay figures reflect the source's most recent update.

**What format does `citySlugs` need?** A `city-state` slug like `dallas-tx` or `chicago-il` — lowercase city name (hyphenated if multi-word) plus the 2-letter state abbreviation. `City, ST` form (e.g. `Dallas, TX`) is also accepted and converted automatically. There are 1,200+ cities on the source site; see `/jobs-by-city/sitemap.xml` on truckingjobsinusa.com for the full list.

**How many companies are ranked per state in `bestCompanies`?** 8 for smaller states, 10 for larger ones — the source curates its own ranking length per state.

### Limitations

- `websiteUrl` (mode=companies) links to each carrier's own external site. Some carriers' sites block non-browser/datacenter traffic with a 403 — this is the carrier's own bot protection and unrelated to truckingjobsinusa.com itself; the actor still includes the field since a real browser can typically reach it. The field is only **omitted** when it's a confirmed dead link (HTTP 404).
- All other URL fields (`sourceUrl`, `reviewUrl`, `payPageUrl`) point to truckingjobsinusa.com itself and are verified reliable.
- The source also publishes a `/blog/` (~70 articles), `/guides/` (~29 how-to guides), `/salary-guide/` (~550 state/city salary breakdowns), `/glossary/` (~65 terms), `/cdl-training/` (a handful of guide pages), `/resources/` (~10 topical guides such as women-in-trucking, veteran-trucking-jobs), and `/cdl-practice-test/` section that aren't exposed as actor modes yet — these are general editorial/reference content rather than structured driver/carrier/market data and are out of scope for v1. The ten modes above cover every structured, per-entity data axis (jobs, carriers, states, cities, equipment, non-CDL roles, best-companies rankings, freight corridors, career paths, and lease-on programs).
