Truckload
Carrier coordination for shipments requiring dedicated equipment, direct movement or a full trailer.
Ground transportation
Ground transportation coordinated around the freight, lane and deadline.
Superior arranges truckload, less-than-truckload, local cartage, drayage and expedited movements according to the shipment requirements rather than forcing the freight into a fixed program.
Flexible carrier coordination
Practical routing without a one-carrier or one-lane answer.
Shipment size, origin, destination, timing, handling and cost all affect the right ground solution. Superior reviews those requirements and coordinates the carrier and service level that fit the actual movement.
Ground transportation can operate as a stand-alone service or connect the inland portion of an Air, Ocean, Project Logistics or warehousing program.
Ground capabilities
Coverage for routine freight, local activity and time-sensitive movements.
Less-Than-Truckload
LTL routing for freight that can move through a shared carrier network while meeting the required service level.
Local Cartage
Pickup, delivery and local transfer coordination around facilities, airports, ports, warehouses and customer locations.
Port & Rail Drayage
Inland coordination connecting containers and freight with ports, rail ramps, warehouses and final destinations.
Expedited Service
Options for freight with compressed schedules, urgent delivery requirements or limited recovery time.
Special Handling
Communication and service planning for freight that requires specific equipment, appointments or handling instructions.
Operating approach
One accountable process from pickup planning through delivery.
The exact carrier, route and service level depend on availability, shipment requirements and the agreed customer program.
