We Deliver Service and Technology
with Every Shipment
Southeastern Freight Lines has incorporated technology
into virtually every process in order to consistently
provide you with timely and accurate information.
From pick-up through delivery, our information
network is designed to deliver Total Customer
Satisfaction (TCS) with one of the industry's
most technologically advanced customer support
systems.
No matter how large or small your company, we
have designed a customer support system that works
for you.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Our EDI system interfaces a complete line of standard
ANSI EDI formats with our mainframe computer to
allow totally paperless shipping and invoicing.
We will also customize the EDI transaction sets
to put data in a format you can use.
Large Customers/Mainframe Support
Uses ANSI industry standards:
- Bill of Lading - ANSI 211/204
- Electronic Payment - ANSI 820
- Freight Bill (Invoice) - ANSI 210
- Pickup Request - ANSI 204/990, 216

Automated Fax Reports
A variety of shipment status reports can be automatically
faxed to you each morning. Once you are set-up
on this system, you may choose which shipment
status report you wish to receive. Our computer
then sends the report directly to your fax machine.
You'll have the information you need - automatically
- at your fingertips.
1-800-9ASSIST
1-800-9ASSIST is an efficient way to obtain information
on a limited number of shipments. Using a standard
touch-tone telephone, customers can obtain a rate
quotation, shipment status information, freight
charges and delivery information, as well as request
fax copies of a bill of lading or a delivery receipt.
Rate-Assist
Rate-Assist provides customers with stand-alone
PC software that provides rate quotation software
and a bill of lading generator. The rate quotation
software provides rates and charges for interstate
and intrastate rates using Southeastern's national
rate scale for both LTL and TL rates. It also
acts as a routing guide providing information
on direct, partner, and interline service points.
The bill of lading generator supports pre-assigned
pro numbers, automatically assigns bill of lading
numbers, allows storing of customer names and
addresses, and stores frequently used commodities
to reduce keystrokes when generating bills of
lading. Various reports and printing capabilities
are supported by the product along with the ability
of generating files that can be exported to your
mainframe or other programs. The software runs
on Windows 3.0 or higher, '95, '98 or NT operating
systems and requires 5.1MB of hard drive space.
It can be ordered on diskette or downloaded from
this homepage. Click here to download software.

Bar coded pro labels are assigned
to each shipment and are used to update our
system as your freight moves from origin to
destination.
The driver uses a hand-held computer to scan
the bar coded pro label and to capture vital
shipment information. The information is transmitted
by our full range of on-board communications
to our mainframe computer to provide time-specific
shipment information.
Our optimum placement model uses the transmitted
information to assign your shipment to the
best available door. This reduces handling
and improves origin cycle time.
While the shipments are being loaded to
the correct trailer, the bills of lading
are scanned into our document imaging system
and transmitted to a central billing area
where your freight bill is prepared.
By automatically applying your account
information, which is stored in our mainframe
computer, our format billing and rating
systems reduce input errors.
Invoicing is just as easy if you're set
up with internal rating capabilities.You
can choose invoicing via paper, EDI, or
self-invoicing.
Southeastern's drivers record vital shipment
information in their handheld computers
at the time of delivery. This time-specific
delivery information can be accessed through
any of our customer support systems.
