Southeastern Freight Lines has launched a new subsidiary, Southeastern Logistics Solutions, that will provide expedited service and multi-modal transportation services across the nation through strategic capacity partnerships.

Initially, the primary focus for Southeastern Logistics Solutions (SLS) is in the truckload service areas of dry van, temperature controlled reefer, flatbed, and intermodal rail. SLS will also oversee and manage all expedited products that require partnership capacity outside of the Southeastern Freight Lines (SEFL) LTL network. Over time, SLS will introduce additional transportation services including cartage, drayage, air freight, residential delivery and import distribution.

“For more than 60 years, our customers have valued the outstanding LTL services of Southeastern Freight Lines. Being the best LTL provider in the Sunbelt will remain and always be our top priority, and we continually strive to improve our core LTL services,” said Tobin Cassels, president of Southeastern Freight Lines. “At the same time, we recognize that a number of our customers have additional needs for a partner with the ability to provide all modes of transportation, and we want to always be positioned to say ‘yes’ to their transportation needs regardless of service type.”

“The full solutions we are bringing to the market align with the same service quality and culture that Southeastern Freight Lines customers have trusted for years,” said Mike Moss, president of Southeastern Logistics Solutions. “We’re carefully establishing a group of dependable capacity partners that will give us the ability to offer this broad range of services across the nation.”
