    I just heard on XM's 'landline now' show, TRL has been bought by Prime, INC. Ralllllllllllllph burp, gag... :biggrin_2552: Sorry about that, that happens every time I say Prime, INC. Rallllllllllph burp, gag... :biggrin_2552: See.

    And I wouldn't wiz on Pr***, INC if they were on fire. I don't know if the mgmt of 'P' will change TRL around or not, but 'P' just about bankrupt me a while back in only 6 mos., and I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.

    Just today I saw a TRL truck pulling a Prime trailer and a Prime truck pulling a TRL trailer. I was wondering what was up with that. Now I know.

    A few weeks ago I saw a Prime truck pulling a Passmore and sons flatbed. Still haven't figured that one out.

    Prime bought them too Brick. I believe they are now the company driver flatbed division of Prime.

    So did Prime retain the Passmore brand name?

    I saw on another forum that Prime bought them 2 yrs ago. But I've seen Passmore trucks since then. A google search doesn't have any thing on Prime buying them.

    They must have, or at least until all of the old Passmore trucks cycle out of the system. I know when they bought out CH Dredge a few years back(which has since been folded into the company reefer division), they ran the old Dredge trucks with that name on them until they all rotated out.
