A Company on the Move
Superior Carriers is going places! In our
drive to maintain excellence in bulk logistics, we're reaching
new quality benchmarks, new geographic locations, and new standards
of service. For over 60 years Superior Carriers has exemplified “Quality
in Motion,” achieving
ever higher levels of performance while fulfilling our
customers’ needs.
We are one of a family of companies
within Superior Bulk
Logistics (SBL), among the largest
bulk truck carriers in North America. As such, our financial resources
allow us to develop diverse, value-added services to supplement
our core bulk truck operations – from multi-modal Transportation
Management System (TMS) technology solutions to onsite logistics
management to bulk transloading operations. Superior Carriers is
experienced in a wide range of liquid and dry bulk products, with
broad geographic coverage that locates us close to the customers
we serve.
With
well-established operations in Mexico and Canada, Superior Carriers
makes it easy to efficiently and economically transport a wide
range of bulk products to virtually any destination in North America.
The Finest Fleet in the Industry
Superior's well-maintained equipment sets industry standards for
performance and appearance. Our modern tractor fleet is designed
with the comfort and efficiency of our drivers in mind. Our
tank trailer fleet is well below industry average age, with a diversity
that reflects its versatility: DOT 407 (single/multi-compartment
as well as triaxle for Maine); self-loading, dry bulk pneumatic;
fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) for corrosive liquids; deep drop
tanks for viscous liquids; and lightweight tanks for maximum payloads.
Dedicated drivers and equipment are available for specialized applications.
We welcome the opportunity to develop a comprehensive distribution
program tailored to your unique needs.
The Renowned "Superior" Service
Day
in and day out, we live up to our name with quality-driven logistics
planning and execution, managed by a knowledgeable team who works
onsite or offsite with your organization.
Superior's management information
systems provide timely, accurate data for optimum information sharing
and performance reporting. Our web site offers customer-accessible
Shipment
Tracking for
current status reports, as well as Employee
Verification for transportation security.
Satellite communication systems in all power units permit near-real-time
communication between driver and dispatcher. Finally, our document
imaging, Elemica TransLink™,
electronic data interchange (EDI), electronic funds transfer (EFT),
and TMS electronic load tendering capabilities speed administrative
processes, improve data accuracy and reduce billing errors.
Wherever You Need Us...We're There!
From Mexico to Canada and
everywhere in between, Superior Carriers provides bulk transportation
services from 36
Terminal Locations.
Headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois, we are an ISO 9001-2008
registered company with quality standards that apply to all of
our customer-critical processes, not just transport. Our ability
to handle almost any product in any operating environment has
far-reaching benefits for our customers. Geographically, we offer
the best of both worlds: international service with a regional
focus on customer needs.
Other SBL companies work
in tandem with Superior Carriers to deliver a full complement of
bulk distribution services. Carry
Transit, one of the nation's leading
food grade bulk truck carriers, provides similar services to the
edible products industry. Our SuperFlo branded bulk transloading
services allow you to combine cost-effective long distance rail transport
with reliable tank truck delivery service.
Leaders in Safety, Environmental Awareness
To keep pace with safety,
operational and regulatory changes, Superior requires all sales professionals,
terminal managers, dispatchers, drivers and driver trainers to attend
our Training and Development Center in Greer, South Carolina. This
award–winning school provides job specific training, allowing
attendees to become “generalists” and respond to customer
needs with higher levels of expertise. Superior Carriers has garnered
national acclaim for safety and quality performance, having received
Carrier of the Year, Performance Improvement, and similar awards
from some of the world's most recognized companies, industry publications,
and the U.S. government.
As an American
Chemistry Council Responsible Care® Partner
company, Superior undergoes regular, independent RCMS audits
and participates in educational and emergency response programs
to protect our communities and natural resources. Superior's
corporate culture fosters environmental stewardship, and
we have a long-standing commitment to stringent environmental
standards. This includes operating efficient wastewater treatment
plants at those terminals with tank cleaning capabilities.
