QUALITY SHIPMENT PROCESSING AT SOUTHEASTERN FREIGHT LINES

Bar coded pro labels are assigned to each shipment and are used to update our system as your freight moves from origin to destination.
The driver uses a hand-held computer to scan the bar coded pro label and to capture vital shipment information. The information is transmitted by our full range of on-board communications to our mainframe computer to provide time-specific shipment information.
Our optimum placement model uses the transmitted information to assign your shipment to the best available door. This reduces handling and improves origin cycle time.
While the shipments are being loaded to the correct trailer, the bills of lading are scanned into our document imaging system and transmitted to a central billing area where your freight bill is prepared.
By automatically applying your account information, which is stored in our mainframe computer, our format billing and rating systems reduce input errors.
Invoicing is just as easy if you're set up with internal rating capabilities.You can choose invoicing via paper, EDI, or self-invoicing.
Southeastern's drivers record vital shipment information in their handheld computers at the time of delivery. This time-specific delivery information can be accessed through any of our customer support systems.
