    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.
