Southeastern Freight Lines Recognized as 2020 Echo Global Logistics Regional LTL Carrier of the Year

Southeastern Freight Lines, a leading provider of regional less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services, has been recognized as the 2020 Echo Global Logistics Regional LTL Carrier of the Year.

Echo, a leading provider of technology-enabled transportation and supply chain management services, created the Regional LTL Carrier of the Year award to honor one regional LTL carrier that best meets their quality standards and who Echo’s nationwide personnel most enjoy doing business with and trust with their freight. Southeastern was given this award due to their quality client communication, employee training and development, web capabilities and their consistent, high-level performance.

“Our recognition as Echo’s Regional LTL Carrier of the Year is a direct reflection of our commitment to continuous improvement, adding value and providing quality service through the utilization of collaborative, strong business partnerships,” said Andy Carpenter, national account manager for Southeastern Freight Lines. “We are grateful for this honor, and the entire team is looking forward to continuing to foster our partnership with Echo for years to come.”

“Southeastern has consistently risen to high levels of measure against our quality standards with both our customers and teammates,” said Mark Redini, senior vice president of LTL for Echo Global Logistics. “Southeastern has regularly met these standards over the better part of a decade by virtue of being a three-time Carrier of the Year Award winner and a six-time Platinum Award winning carrier, which is given to carriers that provide clear communication and excellent service.”

Carpenter, alongside Southeastern Freight Lines’ Keith Huggins, vice president of national accounts, and Mike Redden, director of national accounts, accepted this award at the Echo headquarters in Chicago late August.
