Southeastern Freight Lines has announced a strategic business partnership with Fletes México Carga Express, a top tier LTL provider in Mexico. This new service offering is aimed at meeting the growing demand for dependable cross-border freight solutions.
Built upon both organizations’ shared focus on strong market density, industry-leading transit times and cutting-edge technology, the collaboration delivers best-in-class service, according to a statement from Southeastern.

We are excited about the synergies between our organizations; these synergies exist not only between our technologies, but also between our people.”
Dedicated associates in Laredo, Texas and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico review documentation and work closely with customers’ designated freight forwarders to ensure timely clearance and smooth border crossings.
Koch acquisition expands warehouse space
Koch Companies, a full-slate transportation services company, recently announced that it has acquired Store Opening Solutions (SOS), a retail inventory consolidation company based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, from Marmon Holdings, Inc. The news coincides with Koch’s 50-year anniversary in 2026.
“Bringing SOS into the Koch Companies family represents a meaningful step in our long-term strategy to strengthen and expand our logistics, fulfillment, and trucking capabilities,” said Jeff Koch, chief operating officer, Koch Companies. “By investing in the people, infrastructure, and services that define both SOS and Koch, we’re positioning the business and our customers for long-term success.”
The strategic acquisition is poised to strengthen the warehousing and fulfillment structure of the fast-growing Koch Logistics division, according to a statement from Koch. Already one of the Midwest’s largest privately owned third-party logistics solutions providers with 3 million square feet in warehouse facilities, the acquisition doubles the company’s nationwide warehouse footprint.
SOS’s strong client base in the retail industry also contributed to Koch’s decision to acquire the company, as did its decades-long partnership with the company.
Store Opening Solutions has five locations in Tennessee, Mississippi, and New Hampshire.
