How to make a website for a transport business

Traders and factories looking for a transporter want to know three things fast: do you run their route, do you have the right vehicle for the load, and how to get a rate. A small website with your routes, vehicles and the details to send for a quote turns those searches into WhatsApp enquiries you can price.

What people look for on a transport business website

Routes you run regularly, with the cities and towns on the way
Vehicles by load: small tempo, 14 ft and 17 ft trucks, 20 ft and 32 ft containers, open body or closed
Full load and part load, and the minimum weight for part load
What to send for a quote: pickup, drop, goods, weight, size and date

Which papers the customer hands over with the goods, in general terms
Office and godown address, booking hours and a phone that is answered

Sample words for your home page

Full and part load transport from Jabalpur to central and north India

Tempos, 17 ft trucks and 32 ft containers on our own routes to Bhopal, Nagpur, Raipur and Delhi. Send your load details on WhatsApp for a rate.

Narmada Roadways has moved goods for traders and factories in Jabalpur since 2005, with 18 vehicles of our own. We give a written lorry receipt for every load, tell you the transit days before loading, and answer the phone when you ask where your goods are.

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide the pages. Most transport business websites need these pages: Home, Routes, Our vehicles, Get a quote, Contact.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your transport business, and paste it into AppCub:

Routes: Jabalpur to Bhopal and Indore daily, Nagpur and Raipur three days a week, Delhi twice a week. Vehicles: tempo 1.5 ton, 17 ft truck 7 ton, 32 ft container 15 ton, open and closed body.

Tips for a transport business website

Give usual transit days per route rather than promising delivery dates; roads and loading change them.
Photograph your own vehicles with the body type visible; customers need to know if the goods stay dry.
Explain in general terms what papers customers give with the goods, and tell them to check what their goods need with their own accountant.
If you have a transport licence or registration number, show it on the contact page.
Say which goods you don't carry, such as hazardous or very high-value goods, so you get fewer wrong calls.
Add the office to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile so drivers and customers find the godown.

Good to know

Customers can't book a truck, see a rate calculator, track their load or pay on the website; they send details on WhatsApp or call. To keep loads, lorry receipts, trips and dues together, a transport app is the better fit.
The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

Should a transport website show freight rates?

Rates change with diesel, weight and season, so most transporters show routes and vehicles and ask for load details. You can give a starting rate for a common route.

Can customers track their goods on the website?

No. The website has no tracking. Customers call or message you for the status of a load.

What should I ask customers to send for a quote?

Pickup and drop places, type of goods, weight, size or number of packages, date, and whether loading help is needed.

Can I show both full load and part load services?

Yes. Explain each on the home page and give the minimum weight for part load on the get a quote page.

Can I list all my routes?

Yes. Put regular routes on the routes page with the towns covered and days you run. Mention that other routes are possible on request.
