when I was with mercer they would say this much money and these miles. if u wanted they would break it down for u. Remember when mercer gives you a rate like $1000 that is money to you or to the truck as we like to call it.when your settlement would come in the mail it showed gross money your percentage and fuel surcharge and any extras.Mercer may be the only outfit that tells you the truck money that is why so many say mercer freight is cheap because they do not understand the mercer system. Lets say abc gives you a rate of a thousand bucks,then you get 75% or 750 plus fuel. Mercer would just say it pays like 850 to you,same thing just a bit easyier

 

no qualcomms, just use your cellphone, and a real person answers the phone, you don't even have to press I or 2 for English, and no when you get offered a load you aren't told the total gross, you are simply given exactly what the load pays to the truck.

I only care about what I get, I could give a rats behind what the gross is, I don't like doing rithmatic

 

you are looking at the broker board on mercertown.com that's not our load board for the contractor trucks


and who knows what you fuel mileage is, so the net would be different, what was the gross on the 295 mile trip? the loads are gone but if I remember they paid the truck around 700 bucks.

 

well on that trip that would be 2.00 a mile gross, which gave you about 1.40 a mile to the truck, the fleet avg for all of mercer flatbed fleet is 1.71 a mile for all miles loaded and empty . all the runs I see out of Alabama on the contractor board for 300 to 500 mile trips the cheapest rate is over 2.00 a mile to the truck our fuel discounts range from .28 to .40 a gallon. example , yesterday in Arkansas I paid 3.48 a gallon , pump price was 3.85 a gallon cash
