We offer several types of truck bed bike racks including adjustable multi-bike types that attach between the bed rails (# S64702), simple single-bike fork-mount types that bolt onto the truck bed (# HRT970) and even a tailgate pad type that uses your tail gate to hold the bikes. All of these have in common a need for access to the truck bed and none will work with a tonneau cover (of any type - hard or soft) that is fully closed. The linked article will give you background on all options and help you determine what will work best for you.
If you'd like to carry bikes on your truck without interfering with the closed tonneau cover then your best option is either a hitch-mount bike rack or a roof rack with roof-mount bike racks. I've linked two articles on bike carriers that will be useful to you as you consider your preferences.
If you wish to advise the year/make/model/version of your truck and the size and class of its hitch if it has one I can make recommendations for you.
