Jim Palmer trucking
Anybody worked or work for Jim Palmer,anybody have info on this company.

I really don't know anything about the company, but I talked to an ex Palmer driver just last weekend and he said it is the one job he wished he had not left.
He also said they had very well equipped trucks. Not allot of help I know, but it's a start. |

I been in contact with a Jim Palmer person
1)Its required that you roll 11,000 miles per month (or they will figure out as to why you are not turning that many) 2)Its nearly 100% reefer work. 3)And you must run legal logs. (You are dispatched off the qualcom once you send them your available hours for that day) I cannot see this being feasible.....reefer hauling is notorious for sitting for hours waiting to be unloaded if I am not mistaken. A puzzle....quite a puzzle :roll: Avg 30 days in a month...that would require 367 miles a day Sounds like alot of waiting in between...just my view i suppose |
are their trucks governed at 62???

I hear 63 to 65 on a good day my T2000 will go 65 ish....(its actually governed at 68 ) 10 hrs at 65 = 650 miles @ 68 = 680 miles 30 miles in a 10 hour period dont mean that much....dispatch usually gives plenty of time to get to the final |

Yeah it might work...its feasable if they run a tight ship.
Just want to talk direct with some of thier drivers first.... With less than 300 trucks I might as well be hoping to stop and talk to Bigfoot These folks are hard to chat with. |
Ever since I was a kid, I've always wondered. Does Jim Palmer trucking have anything to do with the baseball player? :|
