  • Gypsum must be the first trucking company the applicant is coming to.
  • Every 12 months of active duty Military service will count as the equivalent of 6 months driving experience upon hire, regardless of position held while active. (Does not need to be a truck driving MOS.)
  • EX: An applicant comes to Gypsum that just served 4 years Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corp, or Coast Guard would start with us at the 2-year experienced driver pay scale. This would max out at 8 years active duty time (coming on at 4 years experience Pay Scale).
  • Anyone who served 8 years or more active duty would still come in at the 4-year experienced pay scale.

Last load outta here! One too many run-ins with the trailer jockeys! They drop your trailer with a foot on each side to finish it when it’s wide open 100 feet away and not a day goes by when they’re not having a tantrum about something.

This place takes forever to load! They don't pay attention either! My trailer is a California Spread Axle. The tandems are further forward & it's easy for the trailer to be overloaded. I place 2 Red plastic load guards on the Weight Center of the trailer with a Florescent Yellow Sticky note that read, Weight Center Here. After waiting 4 1/2 hrs, my load was ready. They ignored the notes and loaded most of the weight on the rear. After I checked the scale on my trailer, it was overweight. I went inside & told them & mentioned the notes. 1 guy said he remembered seeing them, but he didn't load me. I can say the manager had them come out & move everything fw so that I wouldn't have to drop my trailer again. I explained to her about the notes & she said to keep doing it whenever I come & she would have a talk with the loaders. Between talking to them, having the load rearranged, & strapping everything down again then I had a total of 6 hrs detention!

Enter in at gate 2 or 3. Go to the office for instructions. The office is in the trailer. Bills are in little shack next to the shop. All live loads will be loaded after your trailer is dropped in drop lot.

Irresponsible, lazy, and super slow. This is another trucking company to add to the list to never to work for and deal with as little as possible. Communication is poor and you will need to watch them like a hawk because the information they give may be correct or it may not. Misinformation will be at your expense because like most trucking companies they are all talk when it come to driver care and respect. ALL TALK! Oh…but we have a driver shortage, I wonder why! Maybe because all you people that go home every night are out of touch with reality!

The pay isn't too bad. Home time isn't bad. The office staff has favorites and if you're not one of them you tend to not get the miles. Have to fight for miles all the time. Company would be good for drivers just coming out of school and needing to build experience.

When I first got my CDL, Gypsum’s pay was far behind other competitors but with their new pay structure, they’ve made quite the impact to keep you invested here. I’ve had no trouble getting time off when I ask in advance, everything I’ve been told has been truthful and honest (very rare for a trucking company). Monthly safety bonuses, fuel bonuses, good CPM, New Jersey bonus for pickup and delivery. No NYC at least for the single dry van division. When they say weekends off, that’s exactly what you get. 2 full days Saturday and Sunday. You can request to leave out Sunday however if you’re in the market for more money.

The pay is above average. If you’re prior military, they will start you off on a higher pay scale based on your years of service. It’s a medium sized company, but the terminals in the Southeast are understaffed. Good equipment and very flexible schedules..

I graduated CDL school and started at Gypsum the next week. After orientation was assigned for six weeks to a guy who was a decent trainer, but who had poor hygiene. I endured and was given my own truck in April. I lasted until December. I was home for more than 34 most every weekend. If I left on a Sunday I usually got home on a Friday. For first time drivers I think the pay was actually quite good. The DM was OK and the terminal manager was friendly, but actually quite powerless. All in all I'd say a typical trucking company...they will take advantage of you if they can...don't let them.

Great place to work, every terminal I was at people were nice and helpful. Even the corporate "big wigs" were very personable. Pay was good, like anywhere else the more you drive the more you get paid. I would absolutely recommend working here. I had to take a home daily job for family issues otherwise I'd still be working there.

Always had me home for appointments, no issues there. I asked them for more mileage and they always gave me what they wanted instead. After 1900 miles for six weeks I took it upon myself to work elsewhere.
