Southeastern Freight Lines

When Southeastern Freight Lines made its first delivery over 70 years ago, the mission of that driver was exactly the same as it is for each associate today: to meet or exceed the needs of every customer – every single time.
The driving force behind our company is our commitment to adding value through everything we do or, as our motto says, providing Quality Without Question. We knew from the beginning that our associates are the keys to achieving that quality. We have never compromised when it came to building a professional team of associates with a serving attitude and a passion for excellence. Dedicated, highly trained, hard-working associates are prepared to serve you and your customers.
