Assembly and Distribution Services
Southeastern provides assembly and distribution services to meet our customer's specific requirements. For assembly customers, Southeastern will pick up shipments from a variety of vendors and consolidate them into a single shipment for delivery. This system is both efficient and cost effective. For distribution customers, truckload quantities are received at the most centralized service center based on your customers' locations. Shipments are then loaded for next day delivery to your customer. In 2004, Southeastern Freight Lines handled more than 254,110 distribution shipments with our normal high speed precision. Please call Nelson Forrest at 1-800-222-7936 for more information, or click on Distribution to see our ad in the April 2000 issue of Inbound Logistics.

Carpet Specialist
Southeastern Freight Lines has an extremely large presence in the transportation of carpet and carpet-related products. Our Dalton, Georgia, service center is located in the heart of the country's major floor covering manufacturing region. Southeastern has the experience, expertise, and equipment (i.e., tractors, trailers, fork lift trucks, and rug poles) to expertly transport your carpet.

Pallet Decks
Southeastern maintains an extensive inventory of close to 1,000 pallet decks. In essence, these devices create two floors in every trailer and are utilized to eliminate the damage caused by stacking incompatible freight. Pallet decks provide operational efficiencies for Southeastern and substantially reduce damage to cargo.

Responsible Care
As an American Chemistry Council Responsible Care Partner®, Southeastern has demonstrated a commitment to the safe handling and transport of chemicals and allied products. We routinely handle hazardous material (with the exception of class A explosive and hazardous waste) in a safe and efficient manner. Our personnel are trained in the proper handling of hazardous material shipments and are prepared in the unlikely event that an accident or spill should occur.

Truckload Shipments
While Southeastern is an LTL specialist, we do seek truckload shipments in back-haul lanes in order to avoid empty miles and to reposition equipment. Please contact your local service center for a quote on your next truckload shipment.
