Southeastern Freight Lines, the leading provider of regional less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services, is celebrating 40 years of quality service at its Dalton, Georgia service center.
Located at 180 Cross Plains Boulevard, the service center opened for business in 1984 with 12 dock doors and 18 associates. Since then, the facility has grown, and now has 168 dock doors and 224 associates. Most notably, as Dalton is known as the “Carpet Capital of the World,” Southeastern has bolstered its services to support the hundreds of carpet plants and outlets within the Dalton market.
“The team at our Dalton service center masterfully drives Southeastern’s unique culture and quest for quality to cultivate strong relationships with customers and ensure the long-term success of the company,” said Blake Potter, service center manager. “We are proud to lead the LTL segment in our service territory and value the positive impact we have had throughout our footprint over these past four decades. We look forward to all that is to come in the years ahead.”
Since its establishment, the service center has given back to the Dalton community, most recently as part of Southeastern Serves, a program that has associates of all levels get involved with providing for the less fortunate. Dalton associates have donated time and resources in partnership with organizations such as City of Refuge, which equips people and families with the resources required to meet basic needs, and reclaim their sense of life direction.
The Dalton service center was the 16th service center opened by Southeastern Freight Lines since its founding in 1950. The company now operates 89 service centers in 13 states, Canada and Puerto Rico and has undergone numerous upgrades in trucks and trucking technologies.
