Aiming to set the bars high in the transportation business has led 28-year-old Kevalall Motielall to launch his business, “Elefreighters Trucking Services.” In fact, he has found a foothold in the business and is on a mission to cement his name in the industry.
Founder of Elefreighters Trucking Services, Kevalall Motielall
Motielall was born on the 3rd February 1993 at the Medical Arts Hospital to parents Mohanall and Lilowtie Motielall. He is the eldest child of two children and grew up in La Grange, on the West Bank of Demerara (WBD).
“I grew up in a humble country-type lifestyle and had fun with a lot of games and outdoor sports and activities in the community, hunting the backyards for fruits as snacks, fishing, etc,” Motielall recalled.
Motielall attended the La Grange Primary School and then the West Demerara Secondary School, where he graduated with 14 subjects at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examination.
He also graduated with an Associate Degree and the best practical student from the Art Williams & Harry Wendth Aeronautical Engineering School.
While attending engineering school, the 28-year-old realised that he wanted to have a business and to work to achieve his goals while remaining independent and not have to depend on his parents.
His love for driving and machinery just made it natural for him to start a transporting business. As such, he got his first truck in 2013, and then his business began blooming.
“My mentality steered me down with determination and after years of childhood savings to afford my first canter truck to start. Being in a situation of being in school, having final exams, helping parents with their business as son duties, and driving part-time to start my business to kick off my business plan wasn’t easy.”
He continued, “Years of little sleep and sweat. Sometimes went weeks without a job initially on startup. Subsequently, workload started to rise as compliments, and satisfied customers started to spread the word of my service.”
The businessman added that the demand for his services increased, which triggered him to make more investments and acquire staff. Being an aircraft maintenance technician by profession, Motielall said that he had to quit his full-time job in a bid to focus on his evolving business.
Elefreighters Trucking Services provides general cargo transportation, household moving, interior transportation, light commercial equipment haulage, crane/hiab rental, 24 hours accident recovery, and roadside assistance.
The former West Demerara student said that his challenges include the overlapping of roles and responsibilities as workload increases, along with finding qualified and competent staff to upkeep the business’ standards and vision.
We offer quality with standards with safety as our foundation and number one, innovative team to work with tedious tasks, going the extra mile with fleet maintenance so as to assure quality and reliability, doing the little extra things that matter to our customers to assure security and integrity of our customers’ cargo which offers them comfort and ease of mind, use of high-end tools and relating apparatus to maximize efficiency.
Motielall plans to venture off into heavy machinery/equipment haulage, cargo containers shuttling, and bus service.
