Personal Trucking Company Names

This is a common way trucking company names are created. It’s not very original, but it works. Often, the last name of the founder is whose name is proudly displayed on the side or front of the big rig. If you have a less popular name like Hackenberg (may have just made that name up) this approach can work well and will be available. On the other hand a name like Jackson Trucking… is likely already claimed. Here are a few examples how this might look.

  • Brendenberg Trucking Company
  • Bernstrom Trucks LLC
  • Kovar Carriers Inc.
  • Brodie Long Haulers
  • Gertrude Safe Shippers
  • Nick’s Comforting Carrier

Trucking Company Name Generator

If you really want to crank up the number of ideas, you can use an online name generator. How these generators work is you enter a core word or phrase that you want included in your brand name. Then click submit and a computer program will return all sorts of name suggestions. Some of these will be pretty lame. But you can find some interesting ideas you would have never come up with otherwise.

One tool I really like is the business name generator from Shopify.  As an example, I typed the keyword “trucking” into the results page and here’s a small sample of the results.

  • Lakefront Trucking
  • Country Trucking
  • Jackpot Trucking
  • Limitless Trucking
  • Viewpoint Trucking

Here’s a few more examples using the search “carrier” instead:

  • Carrier Labs
  • Open Carrier
  • Freedom Carrier
  • Independence Carrier
  • Lifetime Carrier

Is a Business Name Important in the Truck Industry?

Some will argue the name of a long haul truck company doesn’t matter. You could name it just about anything under the sun and it would still work assuming you do a good job. After all, we’re not starting the next Apple here. We’re driving big rigs from point A to point B.

There is truth to this perspective. While the name of your company, won’t be a primary consideration, your reputation will be important and will be attached to your name overtime. If you have a history of working well with others and delivering loads on time, you’ll get repeat business. If not, you’ll at best be less successful.
