Superior Carriers & Henniff

Let see if they delete my comment again on FB

 

Well we will wait and see how this plays out, as a 16+ year employee of superior I have no problem updating my resume. I spent the first 6 years of my career with a mega carrier and have no desire to go back, may have to break out the guitar and start singing happy trails to you. But, again we’ll see how it plays out

 

Dang it! I'm going to be finishing CDL training in December and Superior was going to be my way to get on w/ a descent company and avoid the rookie-mega trap! If this turns out to be true I have no desire whatsoever to step into the middle of corporate restructuring like this would be ( been there, done that, no thanks! ). Given I've heard Schneider's current bulk / tanker division is an absolute mess I'd rather get on w/ Schneider's Costco dedicated acct starting up here in Houston.

One reason I could see this happening though, It's well known that Superior has a great reputation and has built up quite the client base and good will especially in the southeast. When corporate acquisitions like this happen the larger company isn't really buying the smaller company for assets, what they're buying is the client base and market share. I can imagine Superior looks quite appetizing from that stand point. If it were to happen I'd bet that attractive pay package they've been getting at Superior will go right out the window, especially for new drivers!

 

Boy, talk about an odd couple, Schneider bulk and superior bulk

 

I'll believe it when I see it because nothing about this makes sense. As others have said, time will tell.

Might be wise to pack a suitcase, just in case.

 

I fully admit when I heard it I had to scratch my head.

 

Anyone notice that SNI bought Watkins Shephard a while back, blew through their well earned customer goodwill, and shut it down not long ago? WS was a great entry company at one time, often recommended here.

One thing that could hurt the merger is a driver exodus now.

 

I called my terminal manager earlier today to see if he could confirm or deny that rumor. He said that the burns kids (Mr. Burns founded superior) sent some one to evaluate the Pasadena tx terminal and the other superior and Carry transit sites trying to get some value on each property. But, as far as us merging with Schneider it was the first he had heard of that, now I don’t know if he was being truthful or not, but that is the answer he gave me. He just said that he is going to do his job and let the chips fall where the may
