The workhorse
Stakebed
Open deck with stake rails, so reels, conduit bundles and pallets load from the side by forklift. The truck most electrical routes run on. A large stakebed takes the bigger nights.
Electrical distributors · Texas and Louisiana
Reels, conduit, gear. Every branch by morning.
An electrical distributor lives on its counters and its contractors. Superior moves your stock from the distribution center to every branch overnight, runs the will-call that can’t wait, and drops reels and gear at the jobsite on stakebeds and box trucks.

What we haul
Heavy spools, long sticks.
Electrical stock is awkward. A reel is heavy and round, conduit comes in long bundles, and fixtures and controls ride in cartons that have to stay dry. One load can hold all three.
We load each piece on the truck that suits it and secure it for the road, then deliver to the branch dock, the counter or the jobsite.
- Wire & cableReels and spools of building wire and cable, loaded and strapped on a stakebed.
- Conduit & strutBundled sticks of conduit, strut and raceway, carried flat on a stakebed or a large stakebed.
- FixturesBoxed lighting and fixtures in a box truck or cargo van, out of the weather.
- GearPanels, switchgear and distribution equipment on pallets, off a lift gate at the curb or the dock.
- Will-callsThe order a contractor needs today, from one branch to another or straight to the job.
Overnight branch restock
Your cut-off. Our night shift.
The route is built around your DC, your branches and the hour each counter opens. Here is how a night runs.
- Orders cut off at your DCYour branches order through the day. At your cut-off, your warehouse picks and stages each branch’s replenishment.
- Evening loadOur truck backs in at your DC in the evening and loads the night’s stock in route order.
- Overnight runThe driver runs every branch on the route while the counters are closed, tracked on a live GPS link.
- Photo at each branchEach drop is photographed and logged, so the branch manager opens a stocked counter and knows what came.
Trucks that fit
Three trucks do most of it.
Dispatch confirms the size and weight of the load on the call and sends the truck that fits it.
Enclosed
Box truck with lift gate
For fixtures, controls and palletized gear that should stay dry, and for drops where there is no dock or forklift: the lift gate sets it down at the curb.
Fast
Cargo van
The will-call truck. Cartons, breakers and small parts from a branch to a contractor or another branch, the same day.
During the day
The contractor is waiting.
The overnight route covers what you planned. The day brings what you didn’t: a will-call for a crew already on site, a branch that sold out of a size, a reel that has to be at the jobsite before the pull.
Call dispatch, any hour, and a hot shot goes from the branch nearest the stock. If you would rather have trucks of your own without owning them, a dedicated program puts our trucks and drivers on your schedule.
- Hot shot for the will-call and the branch-to-branch transfer.
- Same-day delivery for jobsite drops booked this morning.
- Overnight replenishment to stock every counter before it opens.
- Dedicated trucks that replace your own stakebeds and box trucks.
- Scheduled routes for the same stops on the same days.

Electrical questions
Before you call.
What electrical distributors ask us. Anything else, dispatch is up 24/7 at 713-688-1900.
Can Superior restock our electrical branches overnight?
Yes. Our truck loads at your distribution center in the evening, runs every branch on the route overnight and photographs each drop, so the counters open stocked.
Can you haul wire reels?
Yes. Reels and spools ride on a stakebed, loaded from the side and strapped down. Tell dispatch the reel size and weight on the call so they send the truck that fits.
What truck carries conduit?
A stakebed or a large stakebed carries bundled conduit and strut flat on the deck. For longer or heavier loads, dispatch can send a one-ton flatbed or a gooseneck mini float.
Do you deliver to jobsites without a dock?
Yes. A box truck with a lift gate sets pallets of fixtures and gear down at the curb, and a stakebed can be unloaded by the contractor’s forklift.
Can you run a will-call between branches today?
Yes. Call 24/7 dispatch at 713-688-1900 and a cargo van or pickup hot shot goes from the branch with the stock to the branch or jobsite that needs it.
Can Superior replace our own delivery trucks?
Yes. In a dedicated program, Superior supplies, drives, insures and maintains the trucks that replace your box trucks and stakebeds, and keeps your schedule and routes.
