Southeastern Freight Lines,  a provider of regional less-than-truckload transportation services, has moved into a new service center in Piedmont.

The new center, located at 515 Sagitairus Way, has 207 dock doors, a large appointment warehouse and 230 associates. It is housed on 110 acres, allowing for future growth, and features a fleet services shop as well as a large open office space equipped with a conference room for meetings and training, according to a news release.  

“We recently celebrated serving the Greenville market for more than 60 years and this new facility will provide the capacity for us to grow and serve our customers for many years to come,” Patrick Trahan, service center manager, said in the news release. “From when we first opened our doors to today, our goal has always been the same: to meet or exceed the needs of our customers, every single time.”

Originally located inside an old railroad warehouse, the Greenville service center opened for business in 1959 with 10 dock doors and 16 employees. Since the service center’s development at its most recent location, 710 Mauldin Road in 1964, the facility expanded five times throughout the past 55 years, the release said.

Southeastern Freight Lines is a privately owned company that specializes in next-day service in the Southeast and Southwest and operates 89 service centers in 13 states, Canada and Puerto Rico.

In September the company announced that it will provide final-mile service from all 89 centers.
