Southeastern Freight Lines, a provider of regional less-than-truckload services, is celebrating 35 years of service at its service centers in Miami, Florida and West Palm Beach, Florida.
Both service centers opened in 1989 and have seen significant growth since their establishment, according to a statement from the company. Miami began operations with 20 dock doors and 39 associates and currently has 101 dock doors and 127 associates. West Palm Beach’s initial seven dock doors and 10 associates has since expanded to 93 dock doors and 84 associates.
“Since 1989, the associates at our Miami service center have consistently demonstrated their commitment to excellence, helping further our goal of delivering unmatched quality and integrity to our great customers,” said Raul Garcia, Miami’s service center manager. “As we look to the future, we remain steadfast in our mission to not only continually enhance and grow our operations but uphold the company values that position Southeastern as a trusted leader in the transportation industry.”
To commemorate this milestone, the Miami service center is honoring linehaul driver Anthony Davis, an associate who has worked at the facility since its beginnings 35 years ago for his role in helping establish the service center as a cornerstone of the Miami area and its surrounding communities.
“Looking back, it’s rewarding to see the impact that the West Palm Beach service center has made within the community, including the strong relationships we've built with customers and partners across industries,” said Josh Beaty, West Palm Beach’s service center manager. “Our success today is due to the hard work and dedication of both past and present associates. We look forward to continuing our tradition of delivering ‘Quality Without Question’ service to the South Florida market for years to come.”
Over the years, the Miami and West Palm Beach service centers have given back to their communities, most recently through Southeastern Serves – a program dedicated to having associates of all levels volunteer in their local communities to assist the less fortunate.
The Miami service center was the 24th service center opened since the company’s establishment in 1950. Soon after, the West Palm Beach service center was founded as the 25th location. Southeastern now operates 89 service centers spanning 13 states, Canada and Puerto Rico.
