Common Questions About This Trucking and Freight Carrier Intranet
What is this trucking intranet built with?
The design uses only standard SharePoint web parts – News, Events, Image, and Text – combined with a custom theme, custom fonts, an extended header, audience targeting, and flexible sections. There is no custom code and no third-party tools anywhere on the page. It is the kind of clean, maintainable intranet Greg Zelfond builds for trucking companies and freight carriers.
What is included on the trucking and freight carrier intranet homepage?
The homepage leads with a critical alert banner for urgent updates like weather, road closures, and dispatch alerts. Below it sit company news, a calendar, quick access to driver policies, DOT compliance documents, safety manuals, and SOPs, a driver and employee spotlight, department links to Dispatch, Fleet Maintenance, HR, Safety, and Warehouse Operations, and a dashboard of operational KPIs like on-time delivery and cost-per-mile.
Does this design use any custom code or third-party tools?
No. Everything on this intranet is built with out-of-the-box SharePoint capabilities. That matters because it stays stable, secure, and easy to maintain – nothing breaks when Microsoft rolls out updates, and there are no third-party licenses to renew. Out-of-the-box is the only way Greg builds, which keeps long-term ownership simple for any carrier.
Can this design be customized for our trucking company or freight carrier?
Absolutely. The colors, fonts, logo, and imagery are all tailored to your brand, and the sections flex around your operation. Greg adapts the layout to your terminals and yards, the alerts dispatch needs to push, the DOT and safety documents drivers reach for most, and the KPIs leadership tracks – and audience targeting can show drivers and office staff different content.
Will this trucking intranet work on mobile devices for drivers?
Yes. SharePoint is fully responsive, so the intranet automatically adapts to phones and tablets through the browser or the SharePoint mobile app. That matters most for drivers, who can pull up safety manuals, alerts, and forms from the cab, while dispatchers, mechanics, and warehouse staff stay current from any device.
Can Greg build this trucking intranet for our company?
Yes – this is exactly the kind of work Greg Zelfond does. As an independent SharePoint consultant and Microsoft MVP, he designs and builds out-of-the-box intranets like this one for trucking companies and freight carriers, tailored to your brand, terminals, and driver workforce.
