Meet Jenna Fromm: The Heart of Palmer Bus Service

Jenna Fromm, the CEO of Palmer Bus Service, embodies the spirit and dedication that define our company. Raised in the close-knit town of St. Clair, MN, Jenna’s journey with buses began in her formative years. Summers were spent cleaning buses, painting wheels, and waxing floors, laying the groundwork for her lifelong passion.

By her senior year of high school, Jenna had already earned her school bus license and was behind the wheel, driving students and honing her skills. After graduating, she pursued a career in teaching, married her high school sweetheart, and together they raised four children in the Twin Cities. Jenna also supported her husband’s business during this time, furthering her experience and leadership skills.

In 2012, Palmer Bus Service transitioned from Floyd and Lois Palmer to their daughters, Hollie Johnson and Jenna Fromm. Jenna stepped into a leadership role in 2015, bringing her deep-rooted commitment and hands-on experience to the forefront of the company.

Jenna’s dedication to Palmer Bus Service is unwavering. She takes her responsibility to ensure the safe transportation of students with the utmost seriousness. Under her leadership, the team of site managers, office staff, mechanics, and drivers embrace core values of safety, quality of service, honesty, integrity, and community service. These principles are the driving force behind our operations and the reason Palmer Bus Service thrives.

Jenna is profoundly grateful for her role and acknowledges that the company’s success is a testament to the collective hard work of its employees and the support of God. Her leadership continues to inspire and guide Palmer Bus Service towards a future of excellence and service.
