    Wilson Logistics/Jim Palmer/Wil-Trans/O&S Trucking are all 4 owned by Darrel Wilson.
    Prime is a separate company owned by Rob Lowe.
    Rob Lowe and Darrel Wilson have been friends for decades. Darrel Wilson gets a lot of freight from Prime though.

    No relation. The correct spelling is Rob Low, not Lowe.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Robert E. Low founded Prime, Inc. in 1970 in Urbana, Missouri, as a 19 year-old engineering student at the University of Missouri. The company's headquarters remained in Urbana until 1980 when they were moved to their current site in Springfield, Missouri.

    I heard on the CB that Prime was owned by a Woman. Not that it would be a bad thing, it just isn't true. The company color is purple because it was Rob Lows mothers favorite color.

    Some things get skewed a bit.

    Jim Palmer/wildon according to all my trainers and contract are not prime. Rather probe contracts our trucks to help move thier freight mostly for otr which is almost all reefer .The regional at least here in Montana is Western 11.
    So far really like the company and the people though I haven't gone out with my trainer yet. It is an accelerated program and they are not going to hold your hand too much especially if you can't get your clp.
    If you do Wilson/Palmer call up to Montana and all for rikki, the recruiter and tell her Adrian sent you to get for more info. She's super helpful.
    Also should add the grea of safety, Shannon is also the training manager which I really like.
