Southeastern Freight Lines, a regional less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services provider, has received the BASF 2010 LTL Carrier of the Year Award for demonstrating excellence in transportation. In 2010 Southeastern delivered 20,000 shipments to BASF, the world's leading chemical company.

The LTL Carrier of the Year Award is given to BASF carriers based on a series of measurements including customer satisfaction, on-time delivery, billing accuracy and safety. Southeastern was chosen as the top performer and was also recognized by BASF for a companywide commitment to excellence with a 'can-do' attitude.

'We are honored by this recognition from BASF,' said Mike Heaton, Southeastern's Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. 'This is an exceptional achievement and is a testament to the dedication our associates have every day to provide customers with the best service in the industry.'
