Where it runs

Across town. Across the state.

Same-day work runs two ways, and the same dispatcher books both.

Across a metro

Branch to jobsite, vendor to counter, dock to plant. Each market has its own dispatch, drivers and trucks, so a same-day run starts close to the pickup instead of across the state.

Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio and Lafayette each answer on their own local number.

Between markets

Houston to Dallas, San Antonio to Austin, Lafayette to the Gulf Coast. Same-day runs also go between Superior’s five markets, across Texas and Louisiana.

Call with the pickup, the drop and what is moving, and the dispatcher gives you the pickup and delivery times on the call.

The trucks

The truck that fits the order.

Same-day is sized to what’s moving. Dispatch confirms size and weight on the call and sends the truck that fits. See the fleet.

Cargo van

Enclosed, secure and nimble, for parts and cartons that have to stay dry.
