Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Clayton County leans toward trucking companies (34 establishments, 3.4 times the national share). In that business, shippers and brokers vet carriers, and the website should show lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
