About the carrier
We are a family owned and operated trucking company out of Lake, MS. We provide transportation services to customers and brokers throughout the USA. We believe that when our family needs our help, we come through, just as you would for your family. That is simply part of our DNA as a company. We care and family is forever. It is this approach, of treating our employees like family that have caused us to be successful and grow over the years. But it is our promise to all our drivers, that we will never grow to the point that we lose sight of our vision of treating each individual individually, and with recognition, and respect. At Southland, you will always be a name, not a number.
