    I had forgotten about them,but I thought I'd give 'em a look since they hire in OK, but fit other things I'm looking for. Reefer, and would work for our long-term plan to relocate to the PNW. Wife really likes the idea of MT, but I'm thinking the winters might be to much so maybe WA....

    Jim Palmer is just a name now. Its run by Russians/Croatians in Chicago. You will, run most every US highway they also use fuel solutions. (They tell you where and how many gallons to put on) you are also expected to hang iron. I left after two months I can't put up with dispatchers that think they drive the truck I'm really tiered of fighting that battle lol. Also that new equipment don't even think about it you'll get a tore up pos for a long while. They will also tell you one rate of pay on the phone and at orientation a lower rate will be given.
