What I ve seen at Mercer so far.

Many drivers here defend Mercer,I am only stating facts as I ve experienced them,first:Mercer is not a bad company out to ruin one s life or do anything unsafe,they are downright friendly when it comes to it.
Second:this is only my experience,so here it is:
Before leasing on the promise was to be making an average of 1.71 per mile... Not true,they have lots and lots cheaper freight,as low as .75 cpm pay to the truck.
Open platform,Flatbed,DD,SD etc freight does pays more,not unusual to find 2.00 a mile in this division,but that wasn t told to me.
The deadhead,all tolls,scale is paid by contractor and not reimbursed.
Selection of freight is very limited,there may be one or two good paying loads on the board (1.75 per mile),then you may go to a dead zone,in which case you have 2 options:take a non profitable load to get out of there (.84 to 1.07),but you have to be constantly looking at the loadboard to try and get the better paying loads.
Some may say that I am just whining...possibly,when all you see is .75- 1.00 a mile pay (includes fuel surcharge),I hope you d be trying to stop others from doing the mistake you did.
I was told by lying drivers,lying recruiters that a weekly paycheck would be 2k-3k ...haha!!!...
All I have to say is: if you lease on to Mercer,come to the flatbed division,otherwise think long and hard and if you can,look up their contractors' loadboard,bc that s the board you are going to be getting your loads from and competing to get the good loads.
P.S.Mercer does get 25% of what the load pays,so it can be anywhere from 100.00 to close to a 1000.00 depending on the load.
