  2. What types of drivers do you hire and how much time are they away from home?

    The majority of our drivers are Pick-Up and Delivery drivers. They work locally picking up freight from our customers and delivering freight to our customers within a 30-50 mile (on average) radius of their base service center. We also have combination drivers. They work on the dock part of each shift and drive the other part of their shift. Both of these types of drivers work Monday through Friday and are home every night.

    Our Linehaul/ Road drivers transport freight from service center to service center. The Linehaul driver’s assignments or runs are described as follows:

      • Fast Turn – which means that they drive from their home service center to another service center and then return to their base service center every day.
      • Slow Turn - which means that they drive for a full shift, rest at another service center and then return back to their base service center. These drivers sleep out of town two days one week and three days the next week.
      • System Assignment - which means they will run the extra loads that could be to any of our service centers. These drivers may be on the road all week but they are home every weekend.
      • Sleeper Teams – all overnight stays for these drivers are either in hotels (paid by Southeastern Freight Lines) or company owned and maintained, private sleeping quarters.

  3. What type of freight do you haul?
    We pick up more than 20,000 shipments per day. Our largest customers are The Home Depot and Lowe’s Home Improvement Stores. We also handle more than 1,000 shipments of carpet per day. Southeastern Freight Lines is also very strong in the transportation of chemicals. As a Responsible Care Partner for the Chemical Manufacturer’s Association, we have a proven record for associate training and safe transportation of hazardous materials. We haul a large variety of commodities and have an outstanding market share that allows us to provide service to more than 100,000 regular customers throughout our service area.

  4. What type of equipment do your driver’s use?
    Southeastern Freight Lines has an excellent and modern fleet of approximately 2,000 tractors and 6,000 trailers. Approximately 60% of our tractors are Volvos 25% are Internationals and the remaining tractors are mostly Freightliners. Southeastern Freight Lines has in excess of 3,500 48’ and 53’ vans and more than 2,200 28’ trailers. The average age of fleet is:
      • 3.27 years for linehaul tractors
      • 4.53 years for P&D tractors
      • 6.56 years for trailers

  5. Do you provide any training to obtain a CDL?
