01 · Expedite
Hot shot & expedite
When a part, a pallet or a pipe load can’t wait for a freight truck. A pickup, a one-ton flatbed or a gooseneck mini float goes now, across town or across the state.
Services · Texas and Louisiana
Five ways to move it. One dispatcher.
Superior runs hot shots, dedicated trucks, overnight replenishment, scheduled routes and same-day delivery from five local markets. One call to dispatch reaches all of it, any hour, and the J.H. Walker family covers the 18-wheelers and the medical work.

What we run
Pick the service. We size the truck.
Every service runs on the same fleet, the same dispatch floor and the same tracking. The difference is how often the truck runs and whose schedule it keeps.
02 · Your fleet, run by us
Dedicated trucks
Superior supplies, drives, insures and maintains the box trucks, stakebeds or tractors you run today, keeps your schedule and routes, and right-sizes the truck count with its own fleet software.
03 · While you sleep
Overnight replenishment
We load at your distribution center in the evening, run every branch overnight and photograph each stop, so your counters open stocked.
04 · On a set schedule
Scheduled routes
Recurring runs that go on the same days at the same times: branch transfers, standing pickups and stocking runs, booked once and run on the calendar.
05 · Today
Same-day delivery
Picked up and delivered the same day, across a metro or between Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio and Lafayette, in a cargo van, a box truck, a stakebed or a hot shot.
The family
Bigger or medical? Still one call.
Superior is part of the J.H. Walker family. When a load outgrows a hot shot, or the freight is medical, a sister company runs it.
- 18-wheelersThrough J.H. Walker Trucking. Flatbed, drop deck, van, heavy haul, tanker and hazmat, with the same dispatcher and the same paperwork. J.H. Walker services →
- MedicalThrough Atlas Delivery Service. All medical courier work goes to Atlas, for hospitals, labs and pharmacy. Atlas Delivery →
Which service fits
Start with how often.
Most freight sorts itself by one question: is this a one-time rush, a run that repeats, or a whole fleet you would rather not own?
Not sure? Tell dispatch what moves, where and how often. They will point you to the service that fits, and you can mix them. A dedicated customer still calls a hot shot when a part can’t wait for tomorrow’s route.
- Hot shotOne load, right now. A breakdown, a jobsite short, a part the rig is waiting on.
- Same dayIt has to arrive today, but not this minute. Orders that come in by phone and leave the same day.
- ScheduledThe same run on the same days. Branch transfers, standing pickups, weekly stocking.
- OvernightBranches that must open stocked. Loaded at your DC in the evening, on the shelf by morning.
- DedicatedYou run your own trucks today and want them off your books, with your routes and schedule kept.
- 18-wheelerThe load needs a full trailer. J.H. Walker Trucking runs it, same dispatcher.
The fleet in brief
Pickup to mini float. 18-wheeler next door.
Superior’s own trucks cover the small-to-medium middle of freight. Dispatch confirms size and weight on the call and sends the truck that fits the load, not the biggest one on the lot.
- Pickup hotshots and one-ton flatbeds
- Gooseneck mini floats for long pipe and steel
- Cargo vans for parts and cartons that stay dry
- Box trucks with lift gates for pallets
- Stakebeds and large stakebeds for reels, pipe and fixtures
- Placarded trucks with hazmat-endorsed drivers
Every truck, with photos: see the fleet.

- A text at every milestoneBooked, dispatched, picked up and delivered.
- Signed, photographed PODProof of delivery with a signature and a photo, by email.

Before you call.
What shippers ask when they are choosing a service. Anything else, dispatch is up 24/7 at 713-688-1900.
What services does Superior Delivery Service offer?
Hot shot and expedite, dedicated truck programs, overnight replenishment and stocking routes, scheduled routes and same-day delivery, across Texas and Louisiana.
What is the difference between a hot shot and same-day delivery?
A hot shot is an expedited run for one load that has to go now. Same-day delivery is picked up and delivered the same day, in the truck that fits the order. Dispatch helps you choose on the call.
What is the difference between a scheduled route and a dedicated truck?
A scheduled route is a recurring run on a set schedule. In a dedicated program, Superior supplies, drives, insures and maintains trucks that replace your own fleet and keep your schedule and routes.
Can I use more than one service?
Yes. Many customers run a route and still call a hot shot when a part can’t wait. The same dispatcher handles both.
Does Superior run 18-wheelers?
18-wheeler loads run through sister company J.H. Walker Trucking, with the same dispatcher and the same paperwork.
Does Superior do medical deliveries?

Not sure which one?
Tell dispatch what’s moving, where and how often. They’ll match the service and the truck.
