Web Connect Services

These services allows our customers to pull shipment information directly from our web site into their company's web page or information system.

Unless denoted as a Web Service, these services are simple HTTPS requests to our web server in which you can POST or GET data to our web server and we will supply the response in the requested format. We provide a sample link on how to use the service as an HTTPS GET request. The Web Services conform to the WEB SOA Architecture in relation to Web Service technology. You should be able to use whatever platform or programming language of your choice.
If you have any questions, please send us a message through our Contact Us page. *denotes that MySEFL Login and Password is required.

Bill of Lading API
The Bill of Lading API is written as a REST Web Service. It allows customers to send Southeastern Freight Lines information to supplement the paper Bill of Lading. It is sent to us by the shipper or the party that controls the freight. The primary benefits of the Bill of Lading API is that it allows the shippers to automatically integrate their systems and data, thereby, reducing manual data entry and resulting errors. The pro number needs to be sent to us and must also be printed on the paper Bill of Lading.
