Gypsum Express drivers?

See them operating out of a gypsum plant in my neck of the woods. I have not talked to any drivers, but they always seem to be driving nice equipment in a professional manner. And of course with hauling drywall.... tarp, tarp and tarp.

 

They have a lot of drop trailers at the gypsum plants...the plant workers tarp the load for you (8 foot drops stay with each trailer), and when you pick up the load, you throw your straps and go. Get to your destination, and roll the tarps on top of the load...nothing to it. If you are a little older, carry a 6 foot ladder, so you ain't climbing the load.
Live loading you will tarp it yourself, but the fork truck driver will set your tarps on top for you.

To the OP, I have no experience WITH Gypsum Express...just NEXT to them. Constantly upgrading their equipment...and that includes securement equipment. Never seen a ticked off Gypsum Express driver (for what it's worth).

 

i see some of there drivers park at the truckstop i work at. clean equipment, kind drivers.

 

They recently gobbled up Tandem Transport in Mich, Ohio and
Georgia and like previous posts have said run nice looking
equipment. Hopefully some Drivers will chime in on miles for you,
if thats what your curious about. They do haul alot of building
materials that I've seen and that season is getting ready to ramp
up.

 

Any updates on this? Did you go with them? I'm considering switching to flats instead of reefer, but the idea of having someone else do a good chunk of the tarping appeals to me very much.
Know what their hiring area is, without me having to contact a recruiter and deal with them?
Also, for weekend hometime, do you take the trucks home, or park at the nearest terminal? (nearly 2hrs to Michigan City)

 

I'm sorry, did my reply get deleted? I posted a link (to TTR here) with Gypsum in the search bar, but now it's gone.

 

oops, that was a different thread. i'm sorry, the kids woke me up after about 4 hours of sleep.
