What is the 411 on Zipp Express?

I would like to get the good, bad and ugly on them. If you drive for them, are you happy with them? Do they keep you rolling? I want the butt naked truth about them. Thanks

 

Is this Zipp Express out of St. Louis? Drove a cargo van for them for about 2 months. What will you be driving? Company driver or O/O Straight truck, car or van?

 

I will be driving a straight truck for a fleet owner and it's the zipp express out of Gallatin, TN.

 

There is also a Zip express out of Holland,Mi , it is only spelled with one p though.

 

Different Zipp Express then, don't believe the two are connected.

 

My wife worked there on a cargo van route. Mike is the owner and another mike is the manager.

 

That's not the one I'm at as there is no one named Mike here.

 

The Zipp at Galatin Tn. is not connected to the other. Zipp takes the throw away freight other companies refuse. If you go to Laredo you will sit there a long time. When you finally get a load it will be for a reduced rate, and they probably won't tell you.
I wouldn't recommend Zipp. The people there are very nice, but they don't have the freight to keep you busy. Zipp also has their own company trucks.
If you are going to expedite you need a carrier who is all owner opps or all company drivers. You cannot win when competing with your owner for freight.

 

What is throw-a-way freight?

 

Basically throw away freight is freight that has been offered to other carriers and refused by them. Many times it is because of the destination, usually it is because of a cheap rate.
