Frequently asked questions

What is Southern Freight Services all about? Where is SFS located and can I take my truck home? How big is your fleet, and what kind of tractors/trailers do you run? Are you on E-LOGS or can I still run paper logs? How do I get my load info and do I have an assigned dispatcher? What kind of freight do you move and what areas do you run? Why should I come on board at SFS? Do you offer any benefits?

SFS is a truckload carrier located in Morristown, TN. We strive to provide superior customer service while maintaining a safe and enjoyable workplace for all SFS employees.

Our terminal is located directly off Exit 12 (I-81) in Morristown, TN. When a driver is not under dispatch, company owned/operated equipment is required to be brought to the designated yard for routine maintenance, necessary repairs, permitting, truck/trailer washes, and more.

Trucks are not allowed to be taken home.

We run 67 trucks (mostly Volvos). Our trucks are all automatics and set at 70 mph (pedal) & 72 mph (cruise). We pull Great Dane Dry Vans, Great Dane Reefers, and Utility Dry Vans.

• SFS is fully compliant & legal. We are on electronic logs, as required per FMCSA regulations (49 CFR part 395). The ELD device utilized in all our tractors is Keep Truckin. We want to ensure that our drivers are successful, therefore, device training is part of our orientation process.

Phone lines at SFS are live during normal business hours. Drivers can call in and get office personnel if necessary, however, each truck is equipped with a device that has messaging capability. Dispatch information can be sent directly to the truck. We do not assign dispatchers, and we are cross trained to provide the best service possible. During orientation, each driver is given a list of contact numbers to keep on hand for emergencies/issues after hours.

We pull general freight. It is no touch to the driver, and most of it is palletized. We can run all 48 states, but we generally expect to run TN, IN, IL, SC, NC, GA, AL, OH, VA, WV, PA, NJ, TX, KS, CO, FL, CA, and MI.

We move both customer and broker freight. Do not offer HAZMAT services currently.

We cannot promise perfection, and we all know that trucking changes constantly from day to day. If you are in this industry, then you are tough enough to get thru the hard days…. here at SFS, we are on the same page.

Our promise to our drivers is that they will not ever be a number here. We feel that “straight up is the only way to be”, and our operations reflect that thought.

At SFS, if we make a promise, you can take it to the bank, because we will keep it.
