Supplied by dealership Crossroads, Birstall, the new trucks are the first Volvos to join the Bradford based 23-vehicle mixed fleet.
Freightlink Europe directors Kevin and Lesley O'Brien say the choice was driven by Crossroads customer service and partly its drivers feedback.
"Drivers are very much an important part of our team," comments Kevin O'Brien, adding that the firm's suppliers and peers also highly recommended Volvo for reliability, performance and fuel consumption.
"Then, when we talked to Iain Cass from Crossroads we discovered that we shared not only the same vision for business as the Volvo dealership, but also the same commitment to working with suppliers on a partnership basis," he continues.
"We rely on suppliers to be part of the team," adds Lesley O'Brien.
"This is the start of Freightlink Europe's journey with the Crossroads team. Our operations manager Tom Peterson will be involved day to day with Crossroads and we have communicated Freightlink Europe's maintenance standards and expectations to the dealership," he continues.
"Although we are not European hauliers ourselves, we partner and serve other hauliers involved in international transport. Our dealerships are part of our supply chain and need to understand the importance of vehicle reliability and the requirement to meet strict deadlines."
