Freight & logistics
A freight website that answers shippers and carriers separately
A shipper wants to know whether you can move their freight and whether you will still exist in six months. A carrier wants to know how fast you pay. Those are different websites wearing one domain.
Two audiences, two paths, from the first screen
- Shippers want lanes and modes you actually run, the commodities you handle, how a quote happens, and evidence that you are established — authority number, years trading, insurance.
- Carriers want your payment terms above all, then how to get set up, what your packet requires, and how loads are posted.
- Both want a real phone number and the name of a person, because freight is a relationship business and a website that hides its people looks like a broker that will disappear.
Credentials belong near the top, not in the footer
A shipper's first concern is whether you are legitimate. Your operating authority, your years in business and your insurance are the answer to that question and they are usually three scrolls down in a grey band nobody reads. We put what you actually hold where it is looked for, described precisely as what it is — no more.
What we build for a freight or logistics business
- A shipper path and a carrier path separated from the first screen.
- Pages for the modes and lanes you genuinely run — dry van, reefer, flatbed, LTL, drayage, intermodal — because that is what a shipper searches.
- A carrier setup page that states payment terms plainly, because a broker who hides them is assumed to be slow.
- Structured data with your area served, hours and phone.
- A quote form that asks what you actually need: origin, destination, commodity, weight, equipment, date.
- A site that loads fast on a phone in a truck stop on a weak signal, which is where a meaningful share of your carrier traffic reads it.

Freight website questions
Should carrier payment terms be public?
Yes, if they are competitive, and honestly even if they are not. Carriers ask this first and a broker who will not say is assumed to be slow. If your terms are ordinary, saying so plainly still beats making a carrier ring to find out.
Can the site show live load boards?
Not as a static site, and we will not pretend otherwise. It can link to whatever board or portal you already use. If a genuine integration is essential to your business, that is a different kind of build and we will say so rather than sell you this one.
How much should we say about our authority and insurance?
Exactly what you hold, where a shipper looks for it. Freight has enough operators overstating credentials that precise, checkable wording is a competitive advantage rather than a legal chore.
Do we need Spanish?
For a large share of US carrier-facing freight, it is worth serious consideration. We build in both languages, with the Spanish written for Spanish speakers rather than run through a translator, and each language gets its own addresses so both can be found.
