BRANDING FOR CARRIER

Why Every Fleet Needs a Website to Win Shippers & Recruit Experienced Drivers

Make Your Trucking Company Discoverable to Shippers Searching Online

Many shippers and freight brokers research carriers online before making contact. Without a website, you’re invisible to that audience. A professional site with clear service details, coverage areas, and certifications ensures you show up when potential customers are searching for trucking solutions.

Creates a Direct Channel for High-Value Direct Shipper Contracts

By showcasing your capabilities, and lanes covered, and contact form, your website can attract direct shipper inquiries that bypass the need for middlemen. This means more profitable, repeat business without relying solely on load boards or brokers.

Builds Confidence and Reduces Shipper/Broker Hesitation

Shippers want to work with carriers who are reliable, organized, and trustworthy. A well-designed website with your DOT/MC information, safety record, and equipment details gives them the reassurance they need to reach out—and can tip the decision in your favor over competitors without a professional presence.

An Excellent Driver Recruitment Tool

A website doesn’t just make your company discoverable to shippers—it also works as a powerful recruitment tool for attracting qualified drivers. Many experienced drivers research potential employers online before applying. By featuring your fleet culture, pay structure, benefits, and an easy online application form, you can position your company as a desirable place to work. This helps you stand out in a competitive labor market and makes it easier to grow your team as freight opportunities increase.

Showcases Your Service Capabilities and Equipment

A website gives you space to display your fleet’s strengths—whether you run reefers, flatbeds, hotshots, or specialized equipment. High-quality photos, load examples, and lane coverage maps show shippers exactly what you can handle, helping them choose you over a competitor with no online presence.

Powerful Features Every Trucking Company Website Must Have

Driver Application Tool

Streamline your hiring process by letting drivers apply directly online through an integrated Tenstreet portal, saving time and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Display Compensation Plan to Attract Applicants

Showcase your pay structure, bonuses, and benefits to help drivers see the value of joining your team. Transparent compensation builds trust and draws in experienced drivers who are serious about long-term opportunities.

Freight Quote Page

Make it easy for potential clients to request freight quote online and receive fast, detailed request online via the website. This certainly helps carriers secure more work from shippers and freight brokers.

Freight Tracker Request Page

Provide your shippers the option of requesting freight tracking shipment update online and reduce the need for constant check in calls. Tools like this, builds stronger trust and will position your carrier as a reliable technology-driven partner.
