Hard work, dedication and productivity round out the rest.  Prime dispatchers and supervisors from each division voted for the recipients of this prestigious award. 
Rick Crawford, a refrigerated division dispatcher for Prime, Inc., works with David and Barbara Call, and said the Team Independent Contractors of the year were more than worthy of this award.
