Gypsum Express reviews

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 are a very good company to run for avg good miles and pay great hometime they do have a rider policy after 90day plus insurance cost for rider. the recruiters are very honest people and shot streight forward they do the least bsing i have seen from a company

You will probably not see 3k a week. I have worked for them and the most miles I had was 2600. I've had as low as 1100. A lot of unpaid waiting time with this company. Detention pay is almost impossible and bonuses are hard to keep due to unrealistic dispatch times. Often run out of drive time on Friday which results in waiting till Saturday to make it home. Weekends off are not quality because you usually leave out on Sunday. The cheapest insurance will run you about 50 a week and is not good for anything except maybe cancer or a heart attack. You can easily waste a 14hr. day for 300 miles (this happens often). The main problem with this company is that they haul in stock items, therefore you are delivering product that the receivers are in no hurry to get. (no one, I repeat no one is in a hurry to unload you). This company also punishes all for the mistakes of a few, for instance they expect you to be at the receiver an hour before they are even open because other drivers are constantly late. Most places will not unload you before they load their trucks. 95% of the time you will waste at least 2hrs. at every receiver and you are not getting paid. They will even stop unloading you and unload other carriers first and then come back to you. (this will definitely piss you off, because the other drivers are usually local and paid by the hour). No extra pay for strapping, only tarping. Some loads can take in excess of 3hrs. to tarp and strap all for a measly 12 bucks. I will sum this up by saying I left out on Easter Sunday at noon and didn't get home until the following Saturday at 10 AM. I ran out of drive time 1hr. and 20 min. from home. I worked 92 hrs. that week and had 1900 MI. my take home pay was $445.00. That's .35 cents less than minimum wage.
