    I did very well with Mercer from 2001 to 2006...I switched from a flatbed to a van in early '07...THAT was not a good move financially.

    The rates are there in the northeast you just have to have the right connection of shippers and stay away from the brokers that will cut the rate in half because they know some one will take it just to get out of the northeast. Like i said before not trying to dought what anybody says but 95% of the leased o/o i talk to say they dont make the numbers people say they make being leased on. Most say they make around $1.35 to $1.50 all miles some lower.

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned MCT (Midwest Coast Transport). They are just like Landstar. I have heard some good things about them. They have a decent website in which you can comb through if interested. Panther is like Landstar too, but it is expedite. I looked into them once and they had some good stuff to offer. Good luck.

    A friend of mine was telling me today that his neighbor that is an independent O/O says he thinks LS will be boobs up within 6 months.

    There are a lot of LS haters out there and I've heard a lot of hatin on them.
    But thats a new one for me.

    This is correct. But not repoed. Just bankruptcy. And it was put onto my credit report.

    No, I have not seen my DAC, nor do I know how to see it. How do I go about viewing it?

    And btw, in viewing my credit reports, one of them has a different phone number than mine, and EVEN a different social security number, which I just don't understand how that can happen. So now I am working to get those two things removed as well. These credit agencies are the dumbest bunch of ##....well you know.
