Southeastern Freight Lines Expands to Mexico
Oct 15, 2008 2:38 PM
Southeastern Freight Lines, a leading provider of regional less-than-truckload transportation services, has expanded international operations to Mexico.
Southeastern serves 12 states in the Southeast and Puerto Rico and has a network of service providers to ensure transportation services in the remaining 38 states, Canada and the Virgin Islands – and now Mexico.
The four shipping options for Mexican freight offered by Southeastern include a border-only service, door-to-door service, one-stop shop service or the option of clearing customs at the destination.
“More companies doing business in Asia are again considering manufacturing in Mexico, due to longer transit times, high fuel costs, labor challenges and its proximity to the U.S. market,” said Bob Bullock, vice president of Southeastern Freight Lines international operations. “Southeastern has been very successful in its partnerships with best-in-class service providers that align with our commitment to quality service and company culture. We’re using the same approach with regional partners in Mexico to provide shipping solutions to and from Mexico for our customers.”
To assist in its expanded operations, Southeastern has opened a new service center in Laredo, Texas with 46 doors and a 30,000-square-foot warehouse.
“This facility gives us the infrastructure and capacity to grow and service our customers like never before,” added Bullock.
