Wiltrans bought Jim Palmer

I just heard a rumor that Rob just bought out TMC. Anybody know anything about that?

 

Lol didnt you miss april fools by about a month?

 

I hope I don't have any problems like I did when o&s was bought. I picked up a loaded o&s trailer went 2 hrs down the road when prime said that the bank owns that trailer and I have to go back to the shipper and have them load a prime trailer. Needless to say Kraft was not happy I came back either

 

There is hardly no place to drop a trailer at Pittston because of all the Palmer trailers.

 

We sell trailers all the time. On any given day you could run into this problem with any Prime trailer. Not just acquisitions. Most of the time you don't even know the trailer is being routed to its final destination...

Trailers are routed all the time for sale, maintenance and inspections. Typically it's someone at the shipper that didn't get the message when we designate certain trailers be loaded for certain destinations on theses occasions. Of the two I've seen in the last week, yard guy just grabbed any trailer rather than pay attention to the pick order instructions.

 

does any one have info on jim palmer trucking
