Jim Palmer Trucking lays off 6 employees

Jim Palmer Trucking lays off 6 employees
7/9/08
The Missoulian, MT
Quote:
High fuel prices, which are hitting the trucking industry hard, forced a Missoula trucking firm to lay off six full-time workers Tuesday.

Lonnie Wallace, president of Jim Palmer Trucking, said two recruiters and four maintenance-related personnel were let go from the trucking firm. The business employs 425 people.

“All we're doing is consolidating positions because of the economy,” Wallace said. “The high fuel prices have forced us to streamline operations.”

2 less paid liars is not much of a loss. 4 maintenance guys might cause problems.

Hey Brickman, couldn't help but to reply. That 's funny. Guess i needed a laugh. On a serious note, the 4 maintenance workers is sad. Hate seeing people lose their jobs. Take care.

Palmer has always had some of the best looking equipment on the road. But you gotta wonder if they wish they had just ordered plain white trailers about now. All those paint jobs and graphics have to be hurting them now when every penny counts. Hope they work it out and keep their guys driving.

The company that was looking to buy Jim Palmer Trucking was a company that makes signs in heavily populated areas. There was talk about this on The Lockridge Report on Sirrius 147.
