As CEO of Zevo Express, a Professional Designated Driver Company, serving the Triangle area we encourage all of our customers to tell family, friends, and colleagues not to Drink and Drive. As a company we are a visible advocate of the Booze It & Lose It campaign. Most recently we have been mentioned in many DUI / DWI mandated classes to make motorists aware of a viable alternative of not defying the law and obtaining a DUI/DWI.
