Guaranteed Service

GUARANTEED ON TIME OR YOU DON'T PAY!
We're Setting the New Standard for On-Time Delivery. GUARANTEED.
One of the keys to the success of Southeastern Freight Lines has been the exceptional level of service provided for our customers. Southeastern's delivery options respond to your changing needs, while maintaining our position of delivering unmatched service excellence.
Complete shipping flexibility is now available through a series of guaranteed delivery alternatives. Whatever you need – next day delivery, early morning delivery, or even same-day or day-early delivery - Southeastern Freight Lines can give you exactly what you need… Guaranteed.
Day Guarantee
Southeastern's Day Guarantee service will ensure delivery of your shipment by 5:00PM on the normally scheduled service day. For example, normal transit time from Atlanta, GA to Memphis, TN is next day. When you select Guaranteed Day service, we guarantee the shipment will be delivered next day by 5:00PM. It couldn't be simpler. Just schedule your normal pickup service and advise our driver that you have a shipment that needs to be guaranteed to deliver on our normal transit day. The driver will add a sticker to your bill of lading and also place a special label on the shipment to assure our execution. This is available for shipments in Southeastern Freight Lines' direct service area for a $50 flat fee.
Noon Guarantee
Noon Guaranteed service assures delivery of your shipment by 12:00 pm for standard transit on LTL shipments up to 10,000 lbs. This service is available to most direct zip codes for only $100.00. Please use the query below to verify a destination zip code or contact your local service center. Write "noon guarantee" on your bill of lading and alert the driver and he will handle the rest. If the zip code is not pre-approved for this service, please call 866-733-5733 and a Guaranteed Service Facilitator will provide you our best price for delivery to any zip code for any requested time.
