Southeastern Freight Lines, the leading provider of regional less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services, has received an Outstanding Service Award from DuPont that is based on a number of service quality measurements. The award was presented at the DuPont Truck Carrier Safety and Security Conference.

DuPont's Outstanding Service Awards recognize carrier performance and safety excellence for package and bulk truck services rendered in 2010. Southeastern was recognized in the LTL Services category.

To determine award winners, DuPont measured service quality including safety considerations such as distribution incidents, customer quality service incidents, shipment tendering refusals, freight claims, strategic partnerships and shipment volumes.

'We truly appreciate this recognition from DuPont,' said Mike Heaton, a senior vice president for Southeastern Freight Lines. 'As this award demonstrates, we're proud that DuPont and all of our customers value the commitment to quality service that is the cornerstone of our company and culture.'
