Freight Needed Attention
During the pandemic, businesses needed reliable ways to move commercial freight through changing supply chains and tighter delivery expectations.
Eastern Freight Lines began in 2020, during the pandemic, when founder Roemello David was laid off from his delivery job at Net-a-Porter and saw a growing need for dependable LTL freight shipping.
Eastern Freight Lines was not started in a boardroom. It started in 2020, when the world was changing, freight demand was shifting, and Roemello David was forced to reset after being laid off from his delivery job at Net-a-Porter.
Instead of stepping away from transportation, he studied what shippers were struggling with: freight too large for parcel, too small for a full trailer, and too important to be handled casually. That need became the foundation for Eastern Freight Lines.
