The Vision Behind Freightlined
Freightlined was founded on a simple premise: logistics should move as intelligently as the goods themselves. Vince Kiel co-founded FREIGHTLINED to solve the inefficiencies that have long burdened shippers and carriers alike by designing a national network that connects people, data, and movement through precision and technology.
His vision was never just to move freight. It was to move the industry forward.
Today, FREIGHTLINED blends carrier operations, brokerage expertise, and proprietary technology into one agile platform capable of delivering real-time visibility, reliability, and cost control at national scale.
True disruption isn’t about breaking things. It’s about building something that works so well, the old way can’t compete.

About Vince Kiel
Vince Kiel is an entrepreneur who builds systems, not slogans. His ventures are engineered for performance, accountability, and scale. With years of experience leading companies in logistics and technology, he brings a rare operator’s perspective to the supply chain: hands-on, data-driven, and relentlessly practical.
Before FREIGHTLINED, Vince developed a track record for transforming fragmented industries through structure and technology. His self-funded model, eschewing outside capital in favor of autonomy, allows him to innovate quickly and prioritize long-term resilience over short-term returns.
At FREIGHTLINED, that discipline shows up in everything from its reconfigurable ERP platform to its command center, where data, dispatch, and analytics converge. These systems allow the organization to adapt to volatile supply chains, optimize routing in real time, and integrate seamlessly with client operations.
Vince also leads National Facilities Direct, one of the largest self-performing facility management providers in the U.S., where similar principles of efficiency, transparency, and performance underpin every contract. To him, logistics and facilities aren’t separate worlds. They’re interdependent systems that keep commerce moving.
In logistics, speed matters but predictability wins.

Leadership Philosophy
Vince’s philosophy is rooted in control through clarity. In his world, logistics isn’t a guessing game but an engineered flow of information, assets, and accountability.
Core Principles:
Structure before scale: You can’t ship efficiency. You have to build it.
Transparency by default: Data isn’t power unless you share it.
Innovation with purpose: Technology must simplify, not complicate.
Performance as proof: The only real metric that matters is reliability
Every shipment tells a story. The goal is to make that story repeatable.
