    Superior does too... maybe Heniff will keep Superior trucks and just chnge the logo, and replace them when they're retired. I'm just thinking that's one hell of an expense to replace about 1000 trucks, I know it's a write-off, but just seems crazy to me especially when most of the trucks I know of are fairly new

    I've been kind of wondering about the branding strategy? Will all of the Superior trucks be repainted / relogoed to the Heniff moniker? If so, how soon that happens will give some outward indication as to how fast the merger is moving. I would guess that's an overall 2020 goal for the new company.
     
    DEllis Thanks this.

    On the chemical side I’m sure they pay better but KAG does cryo and fuel hauling and a lot more

    highly doubt they repaint. They'll sell off the older trucks and re logo the rest.
    If that even happens. We still have many, many Miller tanks that haven't been touched. As the go in for service they get re badged.
    Ive heard Superior doesn't have hose racks? That will definetly change

    I'd be surprised if that did change, its just a lot easier to put the hoses in the tube and keep it with the trailer.
     
    DEllis, ChicagoJohn and Orange713 Thank this.

    I beg to differ. Dirty hoses, torn hoses, no hoses, and so on at the tankwash during pre-trip... I'd rather have my own hoses always with me. I know my mess, no one else's.
     
    slim shady and Orange713 Thank this.

    Sure it is, That's kinda how Miller WAS. But with Heniff everyone is assigned their own hoses, I actually prefer it that way, That way I know my hoses are good.

    I personally think hose racks are liabilities I don’t have any on my trucks. Driver injury etc
