A-Tran's mission is to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate transportation services, ensuring that every passenger, regardless of mobility, receives the highest level of care and comfort.
Carriers, owner-operators & NEMT providers
Website design for trucking and transportation companies
A transportation company's website has two jobs and they barely overlap. One is convincing a broker, a shipper, or a county case manager that you are a real, insured, authorized operation. The other is getting a driver to finish an application on a phone, in a truck stop parking lot, in about four minutes. Most carrier sites do a mediocre version of the first and nothing at all for the second, which is backwards: the driver page is usually the page that decides whether next quarter's trucks move.
One transportation site delivered, A-Tran LLC, accessible medical and mobility transportation, plus eight websites for care and disability providers, the organizations whose clients ride in those vans.
We should be straight about our own record. We have built one transportation site, A-Tran LLC, accessible medical and mobility transportation, and not a stack of freight carrier sites. What we bring is fourteen years of building for Minnesota operators whose customers arrive through a referral chain: county social workers, MCO care coordinators, discharge planners, waiver case managers. That is the same buying pattern as NEMT. If you run reefer lanes to Chicago and want an agency with ten carrier sites in its portfolio, say so and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right call.
What usually goes wrong
- 01The carrier packet is your real homepageA broker onboarding you is going to pull your authority on SAFER and then email asking for a W-9, a certificate of insurance, your signed carrier agreement, and references. Every hour that takes is an hour the load goes to somebody else. One page carrying your MC and DOT numbers, authority date, insurance limits, and a downloadable packet closes that gap.
- 02A driver application is a federal documentPart 391.21 wants ten years of employment history, three years of DOT-regulated employers, and separate signed consents for PSP and the Clearinghouse. A generic form builder cannot hold that, and it certainly cannot feed a driver qualification file. Either we embed the Tenstreet or DriverReach application you already pay for, or we build a short mobile pre-qualify step that hands off to it.
- 03In NEMT, the rider is not the buyerIf you run NEMT, the person choosing you is usually not the rider. It is a county social worker, an MCO care coordinator, or a discharge planner with eleven minutes. They need your MnDOT Special Transportation Service certification, the counties you cover, whether you take fee-for-service MA trips or only broker trips, your wheelchair and stretcher capacity, and how a standing dialysis order gets set up.
- 04Drivers filter on four numbers you are hidingA driver comparing you against three Indeed ads wants four numbers: cents per mile or percentage, how often they get home, the model year of the truck, and whether dispatch is forced. Sites that answer with competitive pay get skipped. Publishing a real range costs you a little negotiating room and saves you a week of phone screens with people who were never going to accept it.
What we build
- Carrier packet page: MC and DOT numbers, insurance limits, W-9, signed agreement
- Driver applications embedded from Tenstreet or DriverReach with a mobile pre-qualify step
- Pay, home time, and equipment-year detail written for drivers comparing offers
- Case-manager referral pages with counties served, MA programs, and standing orders
- Wheelchair, lift, and stretcher capability shown with photos of your actual fleet
- Service-lane and county coverage pages that search engines can index
- Quote and trip-request forms routed to dispatch, not a shared inbox
- Driver-facing pages in Somali, Spanish, or Russian where your applicants are
What it costs
Published ranges, not a call-for-pricing page. These are what projects in this sector actually land at with us. Your number depends on page count, functionality, and how much content support you need.
Owner-operator or small fleet
Six to ten pages, carrier packet, one quote form, and a driver application embed. Right for a fleet under about ten trucks, or a new NEMT provider still getting credentialed.
$3,000 to $6,000
Growing carrier or multi-county NEMT
Separate recruiting and sales tracks, county-by-county coverage pages, referral intake that routes by trip type, and an applicant flow wired to whatever ATS dispatch already uses.
$6,000 to $15,000
Ongoing care
Driver postings, rate pages, and insurance certificates go stale fastest in this sector. Covers updates, backups, security, and a person to call when recruiting turns urgent.
$150 to $600 / month

FAQ
Trucking & transportation: common questions
Can you build a driver application that meets DOT requirements?
Usually we do not build it, we connect it. Tenstreet's IntelliApp and DriverReach already handle the 391.21 employment history, the PSP and Clearinghouse consents, and the retention rules that come with a driver qualification file. We embed yours so it looks like part of your site, then put a two-field pre-qualify ahead of it to catch the drivers who quit at page three.
We just got our authority and run one truck. Do we need a website?
Not yet, in most cases. With one truck and new authority, your first year is load boards, a factoring company, and the phone; a website changes very little of that. Put the money into a Google Business Profile, a real logo, and insurance. Call us when you are hiring your second driver, which is the point where the site starts paying for itself.
Do you understand NEMT and Minnesota Medical Assistance rides?
Yes, from the referral side more than the billing side. We built A-Tran's site and eight others for care and disability providers, so we know the page has to answer a case manager first: counties covered, MnDOT STS certification, wheelchair and stretcher capacity, how a standing order gets set up. We do not touch claims or trip billing, which belongs in Tobi, RouteGenie, or whatever you dispatch with.
Can the site connect to our TMS or dispatch software?
Usually as a clean handoff rather than an integration. Most of these tools, McLeod, Axon, Tailwind, Truckstop, Motive, were never built to feed a marketing site, and a real API build costs more than it returns at ten or twenty trucks. What we do instead is route web forms into the inbox or CRM dispatch already watches, and link portals so nobody hunts for a login.
How long does it take, and who keeps it current afterward?
Six to nine weeks, and content is the bottleneck every time: fleet photos, real pay ranges, county lists, current insurance limits. Afterward it is almost always dispatch or the safety manager updating things between calls, so the pages they touch most, driver postings and coverage areas, are built to be edited in two minutes without calling us.
