Superior Carriers, my experience.

My fiance doesn't want me to do chemicals gasoline so I'm thinking of food grade anybody tell me good company thanks

 

Carry Transit appears to be the food grade / non-hazmat division of Superior. They appear to have a different hiring and service area though so you'll to see if it's a match for you?

Food Grade Carriers - Trucking - Transloading | Carry Transit

 

Carry Transit, Indian River Transport, Foodliner, Johnsrud Transport, Caledonia Haulers, Opies Transport, H. R. Ewell, Prime Inc.

 

everybody pointed you in the right direction! If you do 'Food Grade' Carry Transit is the food grade 'division' of Superior. Also, just note, Superior does NOT haul gasoline at all! We do haul Hazmat and some 'additives' for gasoline....or I have, from time to time....it's nothing to be scared of....well, it does take confidence and cautious driving skills.

 

Thanks yankatank

 

Good info Patsy, Superior is still on my list for when I relocate in a few months

 

good to hear things are going good. I just got out of the dealership myself. Could you believe, they had parts just down the road, yet when they got them Friday, they had to wait until Monday to install them, since they are closed ALL weekend? Got paid for it....but got pretty boring in the hotel room. haha

 

Great to hear you're doing well and still liking it at Superior. I finally started CDL school this week and Superior is at the top of my list of companies for when I finish in December? I don't suppose you've been through the Pasadena, TX terminal?

A couple of questions:
1. Since Superior pays a different rate for loaded vs unloaded hauls, what's the general ratio of each your find yourself working?

2. Have you heard anything about the story floating around that Superior may be up for sale and possibly being bought by Schneider?

1) loaded is 0.56CPM empty is 0.45CPM.
2) By now, every terminal has heard the news...well everyone that I've been to. Although, now I don't run into 1 driver mentioning it like I did when it first was reported. I've heard a few rumors about it, but I'm not going to say, some are funny, some are ooooookay?, and all I say is, I'll just wait and see what happens. I know of one tank washer that quit because of the rumor(that's what he told me), I kind of laughed at him and said, don't leave until it is a FACT. He swore up and down what he heard was, but he had no solid EVIDENCE! A tank washer OR driver is NOT going to know anything FOR FACT that is going on in a boardroom!
