Special Service Freight Company - 35-Year Legacy in Ground and Air Cargo Services

About Us

Special Service Freight

Special Service Freight Company is a multi-location, asset-based, ground freight and air-cargo company. We are headquartered in Charlotte, NC, and have been in business for over thirty five years.

Our Mission Statement is "To treat our customers as 'Primus inter pares' (first among equals) in a mutually beneficial, respectful and ethical business partnership".

The Company operates twelve full-service warehouse terminals totaling over 600,000 sq. ft., and provides transportation coverage in almost two thousand six hundred zip codes centered around nineteen cities throughout FL, GA, NC, SC, TN and VA. Our major handling hubs are Atlanta, GA, Charlotte and Raleigh, NC and Charleston, SC.

Warehousing facilities and vehicle fleets are located in four states:

Florida - Orlando, and Miami (who also service Ft. Myers, Key West, Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale), - 817 zip codes serviced.
Georgia - Atlanta and Savannah, - 332 zip codes serviced.
North Carolina - Asheville, Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh and Wilmington, - 833 zip codes serviced.
South Carolina - Charleston, Columbia (also services Augusta, GA and Myrtle Beach) and Greenville, - 449 zip codes serviced.
Tennessee (from Asheville, NC) the Tri-City Area serviced with 94 zip code coverage
Virginia (from Greensboro, NC) the SW area of the state serviced with 50 zip code coverage

We partner with other quality focused companies to provide another nine full service warehouse locations servicing thirteen cities and fifteen hundred zip codes in the Southeast, including:

Alabama - Birmingham, Dothan, Huntsville, Mobil, Montgomery and Tuscaloosa
Florida - Pensacola
Tennessee - Chattanooga and Knoxville (which also services the Tri-City area of Bristol, Johnson City and Kingsport).

Our network is not only linked in a physical way, but is on a common EDI capable Communication and Freight Tracking system, so customers can receive instant EDI messaging updates, Email status updates or, through a secure web portal, view freight location, charges and documentation anywhere in the Southeast at a single glance. EDI Invoicing is also now available.

In addition to first/last mile Pick-up and Delivery services, and line hauls from/to Atlanta throughout four Southeastern States we offer many other services inclusive:

Multi-city retail roll-outs;
White glove delivery/asset recovery;
Convention/exposition support, and;
Time-critical hotshots and air charter support.

We operate Customs Bonded Container Freight Stations in Atlanta and Savannah GA, Charleston and Greenville SC, Charlotte, Greensboro, Wilmington, and Raleigh NC, and the entire network fleet is a bonded 'common carrier' for movement throughout the 48 states.

The majority of the fleet consists of air-ride 26' Straight Trucks with lift gates, Cargo and Sprinter Vans, and many Stations also operate 53' tractor/trailer units.

All locations are one hundred per cent TSA compliant.

Over the past few turbulent years many large and small cartage companies have suddenly pulled out of a market causing major service failures in their withdrawal, but we have the longevity, experience, broad coverage, asset critical mass and financial sustainability to respond to changes, and be available when you need us.

Use Special Service and you will be secure in the knowledge that you and your customers will not be let down that way.
