Prime Inc, a refrigerated truckload carrier headquartered in Springfield MO, has been selected as Carrier of the Year by Gorton's, a leading fish and seafood producer. Criteria used by Gloucester MA-based Gorton's in determining this annual designation includes on-time pick-up and delivery, equipment availability, claims, equipment compliance, and other service-related categories.

One of Gorton's four core carriers, Prime also accumulated enough monthly points awarded by the company for quality service to be named Carrier of the Year in 2000 and 2002.
