Prime Inc. forms partnership to expand refrigerated capacity and driver opportunities

Prime Inc. recently entered a partnership with Western Flyer Xpress that transitions Western Flyer Xpress’ refrigerated operations into Prime’s Power Fleet Program. Prime will support Western Flyer Xpress by providing access to its refrigerated trailer pool, customer base, and nationwide network.

Under the agreement, Western Flyer Xpress will operate its power units in a power-only capacity using Prime’s refrigerated trailers. The partnership is designed to improve freight consistency, operational stability, and earning opportunities for drivers and contractors at both organizations while allowing each company to remain independent in its operations.

The partnership applies only to Western Flyer Xpress’ refrigerated segment. Prime’s existing operations and Western Flyer Xpress’ dry van business will remain unchanged.

Partnership benefits:

• Increased freight volume and load consistency for drivers within Prime’s refrigerated division
• Greater stability through Prime’s established customer relationships and refrigerated trailer resources
• Operational integration aligned with shared standards for safety, professionalism, and service
• Continued emphasis on driver support, including competitive earning opportunities and respected home time
• Expanded capacity and service for customers

“This partnership reflects the strength of Prime’s refrigerated network and the long-term value of our Power Fleet Program,” Robert E. Low, founder and CEO of Prime Inc., said. “By welcoming Western Flyer Xpress drivers into our reefer network, we have the potential to add freight density and lane diversity that benefits our existing drivers as well. The result is greater consistency, stability, and shared success across the Prime family.”
