Trucking companies · Social media
Show shippers a fleet that is real, on the road and run with care.
Social media for a trucking company is a small, steady record of your trucks, drivers, loads and yard, placed where shippers and plant staff already look. GullySales works on what to post, which platform suits which buyer and who on your side posts it.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What social media means
Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For trucking companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A truck photograph is proof, a stock image is not”
A logistics desk scrolling through a profile wants to see a registration plate, a clean body and a tarpaulin tied down well. Photographs of your own trucks at a plant gate say more than a graphic about reliability.
“LinkedIn reaches the plant, Facebook and YouTube reach the operator”
Plant logistics heads and purchase officers read LinkedIn, while independent operators and small traders watch videos and group posts. Choose the platform by the buyer you want on a given lane, instead of posting one picture everywhere.
“Drivers are the face of the fleet”
A short video of a driver explaining how a load is lashed or how a vehicle is checked before a trip builds trust. Ask the driver first, keep everyone safe and never film while a vehicle is moving.
“A free-truck post invites brokers, not shippers”
A post saying a truck is empty on a route is read by brokers hunting a cheap vehicle. Post what you do well, the lane and the papers, and leave availability messages to the groups made for them.
What we do
What we deliver for trucking companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Post plan by buyer
A list of post ideas sorted by plant staff, traders and operators, each with the platform it suits.
Result: The person posting knows which buyer every post is for.
Photo checklist for the dispatcher
A short list covering plate in frame, load covered, plant or gate board visible and the trip's route noted.
Result: A usable photograph exists for each delivery without an extra trip.
Driver feature posts
Introductions to drivers who agree, with their experience and the vehicle they run, written with their consent.
Result: Each driver post has the driver's agreement on record.
Company page set-up
Matching names, logos, descriptions and contact details on LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube.
Result: A shipper who finds any page reads the same company details.
Comment and message handling
A rule for who answers comments and direct messages, and a saved reply that moves the conversation to the business WhatsApp number.
Result: No message sits unanswered because nobody owned it.
How the result is measured
- Posts published
- Engagement rate
- Enquiries from social profiles
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Posts and pieces to plan
Posts that prove the fleet is real and well run.
- A truck at the loading point
- A photograph of the registration, the body and the load secured, taken by the driver and sent to the dispatcher with the place and the date.
- Papers in order
- A post that shows the types of permits and insurance the fleet holds, with numbers blurred, as an answer to a plant's first question.
- Meet the driver
- A short feature on a driver with their agreement: the lanes they know and the years on the road. Plants trust a named driver.
- Return load available on a lane
- A post to shippers, not brokers, on a lane where a truck will be returning. Names the area and the vehicle without posting a rate.
- Yard and maintenance
- A photograph of the yard, the tyre check or the service bay, showing how trucks are kept. A plant officer reads this as reliability.
Who it is for
This is written for these trucking companies.
- Owner-operators with one to five trucks
- Fleet owners with ten to fifty trucks on contract and market loads
- Tipper and construction material truck operators
- Tanker operators for fuel, chemicals, milk and edible oil
- Trailer and container haulage operators near ports and rail terminals
- Car carrier and vehicle transporters
- Bulk cement and fly ash carriers
- Truck operators attached to a single plant or a mine
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Drivers have not agreed to appear in pictures or videos.
- Your trucks carry a customer's goods that must not be shown.
- Nobody checks the pages, and comments from brokers would sit unanswered.
How it works
How the social media work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Confirm audience, platforms and access
We note which platforms your buyers use and check that the pages sit under your own business accounts, with you as owner and us as added roles.
- 2
Review the current presence
We read the existing pages, the posts that drew replies and the gaps in posting.
- 3
Build the calendar
Themes, formats and dates are set out for your approval, with space for offers and news.
- 4
Create, approve and publish
Posts are made, approved by you and scheduled. Replies to the public are handled in your voice.
- 5
Record enquiries and adjust
Enquiries are logged against the post or platform where they began, and the mix changes to follow what brings them.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
