    Over the past month, I've been seeing more Western tractors pulling Walmart trailers up here in New England. Did Prime lose a contract with WM or something?

    sooner or later, that's all we will see, different carriers taking wally-world trailers, and NO wally-world tractors.

    Prime lost the contract to the Lewiston, Maine DC in early March. Not sure if the ship sank anywhere else tho.

    They lost Lewiston, as no Olney that I know of. Not sure prime is doing any HVDC work for Walmart.

    Western is just a contract carrier they bring in for help. Probably out of Pottsville, or Tobyhanna.

    it's only a matter of time, that wally world gets rid of thier fleet in favor of lower costs from mega carriers.

    everything comes to an end, eventually.
