What types of
drivers do you hire and how
much time are they away from
home?
The majority of our drivers
are Pick-Up and Delivery
drivers. They work locally
picking up freight from our
customers and delivering
freight to our customers
within a 30-50 mile (on
average) radius of their
base service center. We also
have combination drivers.
They work on the dock part
of each shift and drive the
other part of their shift.
Both of these types of
drivers work Monday through
Friday and are home every
night.
Our Linehaul/ Road drivers
transport freight from
service center to service
center. The Linehaul
driver’s assignments or runs
are described as follows:
-
Fast Turn –
which means that
they drive from
their home service
center to another
service center and
then return to their
base service center
every day.
-
Slow Turn -
which means that
they drive for a
full shift, rest at
another service
center and then
return back to their
base service center.
These drivers sleep
out of town two days
one week and three
days the next week.
-
System Assignment
- which means they
will run the extra
loads that could be
to any of our
service centers.
These drivers may be
on the road all week
but they are home
every weekend.
-
Sleeper Teams
– all overnight
stays for these
drivers are either
in hotels (paid by
Southeastern Freight
Lines) or company
owned and
maintained, private
sleeping quarters.
-
What type of freight
do you haul?
We pick up more than 20,000
shipments per day. Our
largest customers are

1,000 shipments of carpet
