A Scottish freight company that started with one vehicle, one driver, and one principle — turn up on time.
Emily Logistics Ltd was founded in Arbroath in July 2020 by Iliyan Trifonov Sadzhakliev. Based on the Angus coastline, the company sits on the A92 corridor between Dundee and Aberdeen — a working stretch of Scotland’s east coast with deep ties to agriculture, North Sea industry, and road haulage going back generations.
The business started with road freight — full and part loads serving North Sea supply chains, Tayside agriculture, and the wider Scottish distribution network. What began as a single-vehicle operation grew steadily into a multi-division business, built on repeat work, reliable scheduling, and a reputation for doing what was agreed.
Today Emily Logistics operates three divisions: freight transport by road, general carrier services, and a commercial vehicle maintenance workshop. The company is still based at 28 Glebe Road, Arbroath, and still focused on doing the basics right — trucks loaded correctly, drivers rested properly, deliveries confirmed on arrival.
Schedule adherence is the metric that matters. Every booking gets a confirmed ETA, a named driver, and the same route discipline on the hundredth run as the first. Consistency is not negotiable.
Every vehicle meets DVSA standards before it leaves the yard. Driver hours are tracked to the minute, insurance coverage is reviewed quarterly, and road safety audits are part of the routine — not a response to incidents.
Drivers are treated as professionals, not expendable resources. Customers get a direct line to the person handling their load. Pricing is transparent, communication is immediate, and problems are owned — not deflected.
Every load has a named driver and a named contact.
Vehicles maintained on a fixed-interval schedule, not on failure.
Quotes given in writing, prices held for the validity period.
Driver hours and rest periods strictly observed.
Damage and delays reported immediately — not buried in paperwork.
