Southeastern Freight Lines Serves 2,500 Hours in 2015

Southeastern Freight Lines, the leading provider of regional less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services, recently announced participation of 2,590 total hours of community service in 2015 as part of the "Southeastern Serves" program.

Southeastern Serves is a program dedicated to giving back to communities across Southeastern's footprint by having associates of all levels involved with providing for the needy.

"We are committed to share our passion for providing quality service to our customers and to the less fortunate individuals throughout the communities we serve," said Mike Heaton, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Southeastern Freight Lines. "Through the Southeastern Serves program, we are able to give back and strengthen the communities who support us year after year."

This year, 840 participants, including Southeastern associates and their friends and family members, partook in Southeastern Serves projects ranging from volunteering at food drives and soup kitchens, to providing school supplies and yard work.

Most recently, Southeastern's Region II service centers, which include more than 20 facilities operating in Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, participated in a region-wide volunteer project assisting Operation Christmas Child, a Samaritan's Purse® program. Together, the Region II service centers collected over 300 shoeboxes to gift many deserving children across the country.

"The opportunity to support so many deserving organizations and needy people throughout the year is humbling. We look forward to the new community service projects that await us in the coming year," said Heaton.

This is the fourth year for the Southeastern Serves program.
