LEXINGTON, S.C. – Southeastern Freight Lines, the leading provider of regional less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services, is celebrating 25 years of quality without question service from its Asheville, North Carolina, service center this spring.

The facility is also celebrating the anniversaries of six original team members: Drivers Cris Caswell, Hugh Bridges, Larry Holbert, Michael Hyatt, Richard Lindsey and Rick Hoots. All have been with Southeastern since the service center opening in 1993 and are celebrating more than 25 years with the company.

“As we celebrate this milestone in Asheville, it’s incredible to reflect on the meaningful relationships we’ve cultivated with our customers,” said Cris Barry, service center manager, Southeastern Freight Lines. “With our tight-knit work family, we look forward to continued success and serving our customers for years to come.”
