Websites for trucking companies

A trucking company's website is read by two very different people: a shipper or broker deciding whether to trust you with a load, and a driver deciding whether to work for you. Both want facts — equipment, lanes, authority, safety, pay. We build a site that gives each of them what they came for, in 48 hours: $390 one-time.

Who reads a trucking website, and what they check

Shippers and brokers want to know what you haul, where, with what equipment, and whether you are legitimate — they will look up your USDOT and MC numbers before they tender a load. Drivers want to know the routes, home time, equipment and pay structure before they apply. A site that hides those facts behind "contact us for more information" loses both.

The sections a trucking site needs

Capabilities: equipment, freight, lanes

Dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, box truck; truckload or LTL; regional, long-haul or local; the lanes you run most often. Specific beats impressive: "53' dry vans, Northeast to Southeast, weekly" tells a broker in five seconds whether to call.

Authority, safety and insurance

Your USDOT and MC numbers in the footer of every page, your cargo and liability coverage stated, and a short safety statement. This is what brokers check first, and it costs you nothing to show.

Request a freight quote

A form built for freight, not for a generic "message": origin and destination, freight type, weight, dimensions or pallet count, pickup date, special requirements. Quotes come in ready to price.

Driver hiring

A careers page with the facts drivers want — routes, home time, equipment, pay basis, benefits, requirements (CDL class, experience) — and a short application form. A clear hiring page brings better-matched applicants than a job-board post alone.

About the company

Who owns it, how many trucks, how long you have been running, where you are based. Smaller carriers win loads on reliability and communication; say so with specifics.

Contact for dispatch

Dispatch phone and email, hours, and after-hours contact if you have one — the details a shipper needs when a load is on the road.

What it costs

Five pages cover most carriers: home, services and equipment, about and safety, freight quote, and driver careers. A separate page per service line (for example warehousing or dedicated contracts) gets its own page, included in the $390.

Getting found by shippers

Shippers search with freight words: "reefer carrier Connecticut", "flatbed trucking Northeast". Naming your equipment, freight types and lanes in plain words on the site is what matches you to those searches. A Google Business Profile with your terminal or office location (if you have one customers can visit) or your service area helps the same way on Maps.

FAQ

Should we show our USDOT and MC numbers on the site?

Yes. Brokers and shippers look them up anyway; showing them on every page signals that you have nothing to hide and saves them a step.

Can the site help us hire drivers?

Yes — a careers page with routes, home time, equipment, pay basis and requirements, plus a short application form, so applicants arrive already informed.

Can shippers request a quote through the site?

Yes. The quote form asks for origin, destination, freight type, weight, dates and requirements, so requests come in ready to price.

What does it cost?

Full professional website: $390 one-time. All pages, your own domain + one business email for the first year, Google Business Profile setup, hosting included for the first 3 months.
