CertainTeed & Cypress: 28-Year Flatbed Trucking Partnership

In this episode of the Cypress Truck Lines Podcast, we sit down with Debbie Master, Plant Manager at CertainTeed's Palatka gypsum manufacturing plant, to reveal the secrets behind one of the most successful shipper-carrier partnerships in Sun Belt trucking. Cypress hauled the very first load out of Palatka, and that handshake has grown into something extraordinary. You'll discover how CertainTeed invested $240 million into factory expansion while Cypress expanded their flatbed operations to match. This isn't just a business story; it's a masterclass in how owner-operators, fleet executives, and manufacturers can build relationships that foster mutual success.
