Lexington, South Carolina-based regional less-than-truckload transportation services provider Southeastern Freight Lines (SEFL) said earlier today it has opened a new Louisville, Kentucky-based service center.
SEFL said that this service center was previously located at 2220 South 7th Street and established in 2015 was comprised of 48 dock doors and eight associates. And it added that the new Louisville-based service center, at 150 Loves Road in Shepherdsville, represents a significant upgrade, in terms of staffing and space, with 40 associates and 100 dock doors.
What’s more, the company said that this new service center features an elevated appointment warehouse, a driver rest facility, and truck shop, with “the new state-of-the-art Louisville service center” showcasing SEFL’s ongoing commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its customers, supporting the well-being and development of its associates, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
“This new service center is an incredible upgrade for Louisville, enabling us to not only better support our team of associates but advance our performance and optimize travel times,” said Henson Gibbs, SEFL service center manager. “We’re excited to operate from this new, ideal location to bolster our service in the Louisville area, and I’m confident that great opportunities are ahead for our team.”
And Jason Hood, SEFL regional vice president of operations, observed that advancing its culture and providing quality service are fundamental to SEFL’s mission.
“The growth of our operations in Louisville reflects our ongoing commitment to furthering this mission,” said Hood. “With its network of dock doors and modern amenities, the new service center equips the Louisville team with the resources and capacity needed to continue its growth trajectory for years to come.”
In September, SEFL rolled out a new direct service route to Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Company officials said that this new route will be serviced from Southeastern’s El Paso, Texas-based service center as part of its objective to meet the growing demands for freight movement in the Southwest region. And it added that this direct service to Las Cruces provides myriad customer benefits, including reduced shipping costs, enhanced delivery reliability and consistency and improved transit times, including next-day shipping from the Dallas, Fort Worth, Odessa and San Antonio areas of Texas.
“As a company, we are continuously working to advance our culture, empower operational excellence and innovate quality service,” said Brian Schulz, SEFL vice president of service center operations, in a statement. “This strategic move not only bolsters our strong footprint but empowers us to meet and exceed the needs of our customers with greater efficiency. We look forward to leveraging our optimized service structure to support the rapid economic growth of the Las Cruces area.”
