MERIDIAN.
A regional carrier rebrand, designed like a federal compliance document — mono numerals, sticky DOT bar at the top, every specification visible without a click.

Mono numerals carry every spec — load count, BASIC scores, CPM, insurance limits.
Premise
A freight company's site redesigned for shippers, drivers, and brokers — three audiences, three paths, one instant quote form. Everything the old site was trying to do but couldn't.
Approach
Trucking sites are either 1998-era brochureware or generic broker landing pages with no specifics. Meridian runs dry van and flatbed out of three terminals in the Midwest — the site needed to say exactly that, to exactly whom, and how to get a quote before lunch. We built it around three audiences: shippers looking for a carrier (instant quote form), drivers looking for a company (pay scales, home-time policy, application in two minutes), and brokers (lane availability plus downloadable insurance certificates). One site, three clear paths, everything their old site was trying to do but couldn't.
Type · Three-door hero
We move dry van & flatbed across the Midwest.
Specifics are the message. The headline names the equipment, the region, and the audience inside fifteen words. No corporate adjectives — “trusted partner,” “solutions provider,” “industry leader” — none.
