Mike ZimmermanOwner-operator

Blue Ridge Carrier Group LLC is an owner-operated trucking business built on dependable service, careful freight handling, and straightforward communication.

We understand that every load carries an agent’s commitment to a shipper. We take that relationship seriously—keeping our word, treating agents and shipping/receiving teams with respect, and looking ahead to help the job run smoothly. When an issue arises, we communicate early and work toward a practical solution.

The owner behind Blue Ridge

Business owner since 1995.

Mike brings more than three decades of experience as a successful business owner to Landstar and Blue Ridge Carrier Group. He understands the responsibility behind a customer’s trust and the importance of keeping commitments.

Mike combines a strong work ethic with a drive to be among the best at what he does. He holds himself to high standards and brings that ambition to the preparation, effort, and follow-through each load deserves. For agents, that means taking their commitments to their customers as seriously as his own.

Mike is preparing to add a reefer trailer and expand the range of freight he can handle. He will remain the owner-operator behind the wheel, giving agents the same direct communication, high standards, and personal accountability as the business grows.

Let’s talk about your next load.

Send Mike your pickup and delivery details, dates, and any special requirements to start the conversation.

Strong rates and the right freight can be the start of a lasting working relationship. Talk with Mike about repeat lanes or a triangle route that could bring him back to your area more often when the timing and connecting freight fit.
