Robert E. Low

Robert E. Low founded Prime, Inc. in 1970 in Urbana, Missouri, as a 19 year-old engineering student at the University of Missouri. The company’s headquarters remained in Urbana until 1980 when they were moved to their current site in Springfield, Missouri. With nearly thirty years of experience, Robert’s keen instincts and intuitive managerial style have propelled Prime to the forefront of the transportation industry by providing safe, on-time delivery of goods throughout North America. As the company grew from a one-truck operation to its current fleet size in excess of 7700 trucks and over 13800 trailers, Robert performed numerous tasks. Under Low’s leadership, Prime’s annual revenues have increased each year since 1986. Today, Prime Inc. is recognized as an international leader in transportation of refrigerated and flatbed operations. Robert Low’s achievements and contributions to trucking are a tribute to his overwhelming personal and professional commitment to the transportation industry.
