LYS Transport
Diversifying its business to face difficult times.
Kevin Eloy is a truck driver by training, and has been in the business for over ten years, on behalf of various transportation companies. For the last 5 years, he's been thinking about creating his own company, to be independent and work in his own way, prioritizing above all the quality of service. Kevin took his chance in January 2019 - after having passed his diplomas and certificates - and founded Kevel Transports.
Being its only employee, Kevin struggles to deliver upon his clients' standards. He operates mainly in Île-de-France and in all the neighboring departments (North, 60, 45, 89, etc).
Why Fretlink ?
What Kevin appreciates above all with Fretlink is the security and comfort provided by the solution. The visibility he gains on upcoming loads allows him to anticipate and prepare its transportation plan in advance, so he can deliver the quality of service he expects for himself - and for his clients.
A new partner to optimize its trucks load
Contacted at the end of 2019 by the Fretlink team to carry out a first transport, Kevin immediatly accepts and sees his accesses created in the process. The next day he begins to accept offers, as soon as he sees that it is relevant to complete his activity.
Two weeks later, he meets Caroline, Transport Partnerships Manager at Fretlink. They quickly felt a common understanding of the stakes on road freight, then studied in more details Kevin's development prospects, as well as the functioning of the tool.
« I feel privileged, because I am regularly offered freight on my lines that interest me. I have a form of security, serenity, which allows me to organize myself more effectively. »

Adapt to circumstances to maintain your business
Like the majority of professionals in his sector, Kevin was not spared from the Coronavirus crisis. Still driving his vehicle, he chooses to reduce the airfoil to stay safe.
By his side throughout the period, Fretlink teams are adapting its area of activity to help him find relevant freight in this new context. While maintaining prices identical to those practiced in the past:
« Fretlink helped me by continuing to trust me during COVID, by offering me work in operational conditions that I know and master. It allows me to accept business safely during this period. »

Digital tools made everyday work easier during lockdown
Now lockdown is over, Kevin wishes to continue working with Fretlink. He sees this relationship as a win-win exchange: one who works well and delivers good quality of service is rewarded. Furthermore, this is completely in line with the philosophy of who motivated him to create his business.
