LEXINGTON, S.C. — Southeastern Freight Lines is celebrating the opening of a relocated service center in Pensacola, Fla.
“The relocation and expansion of our Pensacola service center will significantly enhance operations and customer service in the coming years,” said Derrick Battle, service center manager. “With these upgrades, we’re not just growing – we’re expanding our capacity, improving driver accommodations and optimizing efficiency to meet the increasing demand for reliable, next-day freight solutions, the bread and butter of Southeastern Freight Lines.”
New Facility Features 85 Dock Doors
The new Pensacola service center, located at 6650 N. W Street, consists of 60 associates and 85 dock doors. With a new bunk house, fuel bay, propane filling site, elevated driver rest facility, expanded conference space and spacious break rooms, the facility reflects Southeastern’s “ongoing commitment to supporting its customers’ evolving needs, investing in its associates’ well-being and professional growth, and innovating operational efficiency.”
