Oilfield & energy · Houston to Lafayette
The well doesn’t wait. Neither do we.
When a rig is down for a part, every hour costs. Superior runs oilfield hot shots across Texas and Louisiana, any hour of any day: pipe, tools and parts to the yard, the rig and the dock, on pickups, one-ton flatbeds and gooseneck mini floats.

What we haul
Steel, iron, and the odd part.
Oilfield freight is heavy, long and rarely on a pallet. We secure it on a flatbed deck, chain and strap it for the road, and hand the paperwork to the person who signs for it.
Dispatch confirms the size and weight on the call and sends the smallest truck that carries it safely. Smaller truck, faster start.
- PipeTubing, casing, drill pipe and line pipe, on a one-ton flatbed or a gooseneck mini float.

Superior is part of the J.H. Walker family. When a load needs an 18-wheeler, J.H. Walker Trucking runs it: oilfield flatbed, drop deck, heavy haul and tanker work, with the same dispatcher and the same paperwork.
One call covers a hot shot this morning and a tractor-trailer of pipe this afternoon.
- J.H. Walker flatbed for pipe, steel and equipment.
- J.H. Walker heavy haul for oversize loads.
- J.H. Walker tanker for bulk liquids.
- The same dispatcher books both, and the paperwork looks the same.
