Southeastern Freight Lines Recognized with NASSTRAC Carrier of the Year Award

LEXINGTON, S.C. (June 28, 2017) - Southeastern Freight Lines, the leading provider of regional less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services, was recognized as a 2016 Carrier of the Year by NASSTRAC in the Regional-Southeast LTL category.

NASSTRAC's award program acknowledges providers' service using a scale to rate each organization in five key areas, including: customer service, operational excellence, pricing, business relationship, leadership and technology. NASSTRAC, the National Shippers Strategic Transportation Council, has been providing advocacy and education for shippers and carriers for more than 50 years.

John Peterson, national account manager for Southeastern Freight Lines, accepted the award during the NASSTRAC Shippers Conference & Transportation Expo this spring.

Southeastern's service partners were also recognized as winners in their respective region: Dayton Freight Lines (Midwest) and Oak Harbor Freight Lines (West). To ensure excellent transportation outside of its core territory, Southeastern Freight Lines uses a network of excellent service providers.

"We are honored to be recognized by NASSTRAC as a regional Carrier of the Year," said Mike Heaton, senior vice president, Southeastern Freight Lines. "Our mission is to exceed the needs of every customer - every single time. The recognition and acknowledgement reassures us that we are fulfilling our purpose, and it motivates us to continue providing our best to all of our customers."
