Marketing agency for trucking companies & freight brokers

More drivers in your seats. More freight on your board.

We help carriers hire CDL drivers who stay

Lone Crest Media is a marketing agency for trucking companies and freight brokers, and nobody else. Our founder ran a 60-truck carrier before he ran an agency.

    Who we work with

    Carriers and brokers have different problems. We solve both.

    Carriers & owner-operators

    Empty seats and thin freight

    A parked truck still has a payment. We help you seat it with a driver who stays, and keep it loaded with freight that pays.

    • Driver applicants that go to you only, contacted within 60 seconds
    • Lane and equipment pages shippers find on Google
    • A website that passes a shipper's background check
    • Recruiting video shot on your trucks with your drivers

    Why trucking only

    “I ran my own carrier. I dispatched, I recruited, and I watched trucks sit because the seats stayed empty. The agencies I hired had never dispatched a load. Lone Crest is what I wished I'd had.”

    Jimmy K, founder. Grew his carrier to 60 trucks.

    Most agencies treat trucking as one more industry on a long list. They write driver ads that say “competitive pay” and shipper pages that say “reliable solutions.” Drivers and shippers ignore both.

    We only work in freight, so we know what a driver asks before applying and what a shipping manager checks before tendering a load. Our 45-person team of designers, editors, developers and media buyers works on carriers and brokers all day.

    About the team

    How it works

    You see the work before you pay for it

    Most agencies pitch promises. We show up with a demo built around your company.

    1. We study your operation

      Your fleet, lanes, equipment, hiring area and the competitors you lose drivers and freight to.

    2. We build a demo

      Sample ads and video concepts with your branding and a website direction. Before the first invoice.

    3. You decide

      We walk you through it on a short call. If it isn't a fit, you walk away and owe nothing.

    4. We run it

      Campaigns run every week, with a dashboard and a monthly report in plain language.

    Straight talk

    What we won't do

    You've probably been burned by a marketing company before. Here's where we draw lines.

    • Sell your driver applicants to another carrier. They're yours.
    • Promise a #1 ranking on Google or in ChatGPT. Nobody can, and anyone who does is guessing.
    • Report impressions and call it results. We report applications, hires, calls and quote requests.
    • Write ads that hide the pay. Drivers skip them, and so would you.
    • Take on clients outside freight to fill our calendar.
    FAQ

    Common questions

    What does Lone Crest Media do?

    Lone Crest Media is a marketing agency that works only with trucking companies, freight brokers and logistics businesses. We recruit CDL drivers for carriers, find shippers for carriers and brokers, and build the websites, SEO, ads, video and software behind that work. The company was founded in 2021 and has a 45-person in-house team.

    Do you only work with trucking companies?

    Yes. Our clients are carriers, owner-operators, freight brokers, 3PLs and other freight businesses. We don't take clients outside the freight industry. Staying in one industry is why our recruiting ads and shipper pages sound like they were written by people who know freight.

    Where is Lone Crest Media located?

    Our office is at 7450 Northrop Dr, Riverside, CA 92508. We work with trucking companies and brokers across the United States, not only in California.

    How much does trucking marketing cost?

    It depends on how many seats you need to fill, which channels make sense and how competitive your market is. We quote after a short call and a look at your fleet and lanes. The first review and the demo are free.

    What do I get to see before I pay?

    A demo built around your company: sample ads and video concepts with your branding, a website direction, and where we'd focus first. If it isn't a fit, you don't owe us anything.

    Who founded Lone Crest Media?

    Jimmy K founded Lone Crest Media after running his own carrier, which he grew to 60 trucks. He co-founded the company with Kathy Brook, who leads creative and client strategy.
