Zipliners are true advocates for our trucking partners and we hope this holiday showcases our unyielding appreciation.”

History of 10/4 Day
“10-4” is a common phrase used by truck drivers to close radio correspondence and loosely means “agreed” or “understood.” Zipline Logistics began publicly celebrating the event on October 4, 2016 but has leveraged the date internally and with carriers since the company’s inception in 2007.
Operating with the purpose of “Improving the lives of transportation professionals,” this holiday is a hallmark for Zipline Logistics. The company issues certificates and gifts to recognized carriers, going above and beyond to show its appreciation.
