Flanagan-White, Zipp Express Combine Operations in St. Louis Merger

Two Midwest expedited carriers have consolidated operations to strengthen regional capacity and service reach. Flanagan-White, a nearly 50-year-old specialist in expedited and hazmat transportation across the Midwest, merged with Zipp Express. The combination expands Zipp Express's capabilities while providing Flanagan-White customers access to a broader fleet including cargo vans, box trucks and heavy-duty tractor-trailers. Zipp Express operates a 50,000-square-foot warehouse in Earth City, Missouri. Matt Carswell, Flanagan-White president, is retiring and will assist with the transition on an interim basis. Both companies are St. Louis-based. Zipp Express provides expedited delivery, final-mile services and scheduled routes, while its sister company Zipp Logistics handles less-than-truckload shipments through regional partnerships.
