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 34
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.
