Mercer

Absolutely, yes. That is clearly stated in the regulations. Are you using DDL? That's the only program I'm familiar with that is generally accepted by DOT enforcement.

When I drove for a company that had electronic logging (via CADEC) we still had to carry printed copies of 7 previous days logs.

 

Bingo! That's what kept me loaded when I was running there...

Another thing that helped me was I could scale just south of 49,000 lbs. Now a lot of guys won't haul that much but it's no difference if you have a heavy truck and can only scale 44K... 80,000 lbs. is the same either way. I didn't haul a lot of loads that heavy but it used to get me out of Houston with pipe loads anyway.

 

I just calculated $1.489 per mile on all miles

 

try their step-child program first.You get allthe same benefits as leased mercer but keep ur authority and haul what u want. Coordinator, fuelcard discounts same, same loads BEFORE hit open board and get paid FASTER and MORE than a leased on Mercer...oops did I say that out loud? Seriously. I have the girls number.

 

Paper for me, for now. I like the idea of the logs on the computer. But, I
Can't stand any computer that has windows operating system. I love Mac's. The problem: the log softweAr is not compatible with the Mac. Them braniacs were able to figure out how to make the program work on the windows/Microsoft computers but, are to stupid to make it work on Mac . Braniacs. Two books always come in handy. Lol

 

X2 on my iMac...

 

What?

Pls tell
Me you are not riding around with an iMac in your truck.


I need to find the log softweAr for Mac . Macs rule.

 

Well, I ve installed amsoil double bypass filter. Replaced engine oil with synthetic. Replaced oil inside of the two rear differentials-what a pain to fill the rear up. Replaced an iso socket on the flatbed with the regular 7 way, bought the black
Cord for the dump valve- $50 vs$130 for the iso cord, need to finish running the wire to the dump valve switch inside the truck, and install my 5000w normal operating wattage and 10000 w max. Power inverter and I should be set to go out again. I can't figure how to do an oil change in my 13 SPd tranny, can't find the fill plug- any advice?

 

Plus, depends on how good you can negotiate, I've bought 3 oil filters from the dealer, for the isx, for $43 each, and about 30% off of other filters. I hope my bypass oil filtration system will not go bunkers on me somewhere midway up the hill. Lol. I carry oil with me but not anywhere near 10 gallons. On the other hand, I'm loaded with the, what some may call snake oil, fuel additive. 3-4 gallons of Lukas fuel additive $ 22 per gallon, 2 gallons of the sea foam-$50 per gallon - really good top end cleaner, and about 3-4 gallons of the cetane booster- which in theory should give me better mpg. My last trip I've averaged close to low 7's mpg.

 

Desk top... need an Mac Book now... or an iPad (but I'd probably be traced like Bin Laden!)....
