South East Carriers Inc.
A Business Built By Family
South East Carriers was founded in 1986 by brothers Joe and Paul Gobble. They started with two employees, two trucks, and one 45-foot dry van. After transitioning from the wholesale lumber business, they set their sights on building their new transportation business one load at a time. Five years later, they built their current headquarters along with Gobble Properties' first commercial warehouse. Joe and Paul decided to create a "one stop shop" with transportation, warehousing, and material handling (Living Stone Freight Solutions). In 2012, Joe and Paul were able to sell their successful business to the next generation: Jeremy, Tracy, and Kevin. As of today, South East Carriers has over 275 employees, 225 trucks, 525 53-foot dry vans, with multiple satellite terminals across the U.S. The vision that Joe and Paul had in 1986 has become a reality in 2022. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for the generations to come as they see their own exciting visions come to life.
