Superior Carriers, my experience.

Man this sounds like a great company to be apart of.

 

I live in Houston and I'm going to be starting CDL school in September and Superior is at the top of the list for companies that I'm considering.

A couple of questions I have:
1. Can someone give me a rough idea of what the regional runs are like out of the Pasadena terminal? Are they mostly out-and-back overnights or are you likely to stay out most of the week? I wouldn't mind staying out longer if the money is right, just curious how they run?

2. Can someone give a rough estimate between what the system/otr drivers get paid vs regional drivers? I understand system drivers are out 10-14 days typically which I wouldn't mind either again if the the pay is worthwhile?

 

Can someone tell me what type of drug test you have to take at superior carriers. I quit smoking a month ago because i want to become a trucker. I will start cdl school next week .I just want to make sure im completely clean before i apply. I dont wanna fail a hair test.

 

I took the standard 5 panel urine test. I would get a home test kit and test myself before reporting for a company test just to make sure you’re good.

 

When you say, " .....I quit smoking..." if you refer to cigarette or cigars you should be ok, no worries.

 

You do know if they use a hair follicle test it can go back 90 days

 

I took my test 2 years ago. Pasadena,Tx. And it was regular drug test. DOT. I pointed location cause it could be different by terminals which I doubt it. So good luck

 

To quote the Great One....."aaaaannnndddaaawwwaaayyy we go...."

 

hotel days? Did you do LTL before here? Just curious. When I came into this industry, I found it easier, for me, to sleep after 12PM....too much of a morning person! haha
