Prime Inc. has named Jerry Gambrell its 2011 Instructor of the Year. Since Gambrell started working for Prime two years ago, he has won multiple awards for best pretrip inspections and proven himself to be a strong leader for the Springfield, Mo.-based company’s driver training program.
After a brief period of time working in health care, Gambrell decided that he was being called to the trucking industry. After spending about eight years with a less-than-truckload carrier, he became an owner-operator. Now as a driver instructor for Prime, Gambrell makes it his goal for his students to leave the training program feeling like they are capable and ready.
