Turnkey website for a freight transportation company

How customers look for a carrier

A website for a transportation company is a catalog of services and the vehicle fleet with a cost estimate form. Someone who needs to move furniture, equipment or a batch of goods types the type of transport and the city into search, opens a few sites and calls the one where the right vehicle and a way to estimate the price are visible right away.

Companies that book trips regularly pay attention to the contract, documents and easy communication with the dispatcher. For them, the site shows the terms of cooperation, and the estimate form collects details about the route and the cargo so the dispatcher does not have to ask again. A page with company details and the contract shortens the counterparty check.

Moving and loaders are a separate case: the customer needs the hourly rate, the minimum order and a list of what is included in the price. These terms are best spelled out on the service page, and the dispatcher spends less time answering the same questions.

What a website for a transportation company includes

• a fleet catalog: van, curtain-side truck, refrigerated truck, lorry – with cargo body specifications;
• a page for each type of service: freight, moving, international, oversized cargo;
• pages for the routes and cities people search you by;
• a cost estimate form with the fields "from", "to", "cargo", "weight", "date";
• terms of cooperation: contract, payment, documents, liability of the parties;
• dispatcher contacts with a "call" button on the mobile version.

Requests go straight to the dispatcher in Telegram and by e-mail, and you change services, rates and the fleet in the admin panel. Vehicle photos are automatically prepared for fast display on mobile. For regular customers, you can add a page with the terms for scheduled trips.

Website price and timeline

A carrier website on a ready-made template at LightSEO costs from $500 and launches in 3–5 working days after you provide details about your fleet, services and contacts. We put photos of your fleet on the first screen and show it to you before payment. A more complex website structured for several types of transportation – a turnkey corporate website – costs from $1,350. Before signing the contract, we hold a free consultation, and after it we fix the final amount. Details about the formats are on the template website page.

Questions and answers

Can the cost of transportation be calculated automatically?

The estimate form collects the route, cargo and date and passes them to the dispatcher, who quotes the price. A rate-based calculator requires separate development, and we discuss it during the consultation. The estimate form already cuts the time spent on clarifications.

How do we show the fleet?

Each vehicle or vehicle type gets a card with a photo, body type, load capacity and volume. The customer sees right away whether it fits their cargo. For special equipment and oversized cargo, a separate page with requirements is added.

Do we need pages for routes?

Yes. A query like "transportation from city A to city B" gets its own page with a description, timelines and a form. This gives you a chance to appear for exactly these queries.

How do we make it easy for a customer to call?

The call button and messengers are pinned on the mobile version of every page. One tap takes the customer to the dispatcher, and for those who prefer to write, Telegram and Viber are right next to it.
