How to use our trucking name generator

If the 240 examples aren’t enough for you—or, you just don’t like the names we’ve come up with (we’re not offended, promise)—you can use our trucking company name generator.

It’s simple to use: just three steps. 

  1. Input your information. You know your company and brand best. Type in some parameters and words that describe your business. For example, you might put “savage trucking business” or “floral trucking business.”
  2. Adjust the settings. The name generator has sliders that you can adjust to make sure you get the right tone for your business. You might want your business name to be more authoritative and less funny. 
  3. Read the results. The name generator will spit out a list of names you can use or use for inspiration. And, if you don’t find something you like, that’s OK. Simply input new information and run it again. It’s free to use, so you can create as many lists as you want.

Once you’ve found a name you like, you’ll want to snatch it up. You can go to your state’s Secretary of State website and reserve the name or register your LLC so that no one else can use that name.

How to choose a trucking company name

When choosing a name for your trucking company, there are so many factors to consider:

  • You want the name to be memorable to your customers.
  • You need the name to be unique due to state regulations.
  • The name should represent you and your brand ideas.
  • You should be able to get social media handles and website URLs to represent your company name.

Consider your company identity

The first thing you want to consider when going through this brainstorming process is who you are as a business owner, what you want your company brand to represent, and the type of customer you want to attract.

All of this comes together to form your business identity.

If your business will be in expedited freight, you want to represent that in the name, using words like fast or efficient. If you’re specifically going to haul liquids in a tanker, you can do a play on words for your business name.

Choose a memorable name

A memorable name is one that customers might see out in the wild, not need your services, and then remember the name months later when they need something hauled.

A memorable name is also going to be distinguishable from other companies while still describing what you do. Calling your business something generic, such as St. Louis Moving Company, isn’t going to let your business stand out from all the other moving companies in St. Louis.

There’s a balance to strike between being memorable, descriptive, and not too narrow. If you name your business after a specific product or service, it may limit your options for expanding your business in the future.

Follow government naming rules

Your business will be registered with the state where you live. That state will have business name guidelines and requirements. For example, most states do not allow profanity or racial slurs in your business name.

There are also some federal naming guidelines that you must follow. For example, you cannot misrepresent your business and use a term such as “banking” in your business name unless you are a bank.

Check your business name’s availability

The final thing you need to consider is whether or not the business name you want to use is available for use.

To check the availability, you’ll want to follow a few steps:

  • Check that the name isn’t already in use in your state.
  • Make sure you can get the social media handles you want.
  • Find a URL or website address you like.

If your name isn’t available, you may want to choose another option. States require that your business name be distinguishable from all others so as to not create customer confusion and to protect your business name and the names of other businesses.  

How to reserve your trucking company name

Once you’ve gone through the process and found a business name that you like and is available, it’s time to register your business with the state.

In most states, this is a simple process that requires you to go through the Secretary of State. From there, you will choose your business entity, fill out some forms, pay a fee, and submit the forms to the proper place.

If you are ready to register your business but not sure what the process is, we can help you. LegalZoom offers business formation services for a small fee. We take the stress of registering your business off your hands. 

FAQs

What tools can help me brainstorm a trucking company name?

Coming up with a business name all on your own can feel next to impossible. Luckily, you don’t have to do it on your own. There are many tools out there to help you through this process. You might:

  • Use an online thesaurus.
  • Recruit your friends and family to get their ideas.
  • Research online for name options.
  • Check out competitors' and trucking companies' names for inspiration.
  • Input your ideas to our trucking company business name generator.

What should I avoid when naming my trucking company?

When it comes to your business name, you want to avoid being too similar to your competitors and avoid adding any profanity or racial slurs. These are all banned by either state or federal business name guidelines.

How can I make sure my business name is future-proof?

Naming your business is tricky. You want to make sure that it’s specific to what services you offer and represents you and your brand. But, you don’t want it to be so specific that it limits the services you can offer. 

For example, if you name your business Apple Hauling, customers may assume that you can’t haul oranges but only apples. You want to make sure you keep your business name future-proof, in case you want to expand into additional services.
