    JP's reviews online are MUCH better than Primes.

    Prime trucks are also so slow they practically go backwards.

    The Wilson Palmer trucks are almost 100% lease op.
    The real Jim Palmer is (Jim Palmer Express) now. Don't tell everyone, ok thanks.

    I've been reading that the health insurance benefits aren't very good at JP although I haven't talked to their recruiter yet so I don't know the facts.

    JP hands down. Been with them 6 months and I can honestly say best company Ive been with in my 26 years out here. Much respect for the drivers and I haven't been lied to once yet.
