Decision: Mercer or Landstar?

Mercer recruiter said there is good specialized van freight. . Is this true and can one truly make it going strictly van with them? I have considered a Conestoga trailer down the road but van to start and @ 575.00 month trailer payment and a $2700/mth truck payment I'd like to know the same thing if van is a viable option with Mercer

 

2700 a month for a truck payment?! Holy crap on a cracker

 

Yeah for a 2016 with 0 miles and a 4yr/500k mile warranty including all bolt on parts like turbo and egr etc.

 

I know what a new truck costs. I also know what a down payment and a low interest rate is. Those two things would knock about a grand off that monthly payment.

As far as can you make it work with those numbers. Yes. But it's going to require sacrifices id never ask my family to make.

2700 a month. Holy crap on a cracker.

 

There is the difference I don't have any bills or a family sad as that is to admit ...I will basically living in my truck for the first few years

 

Where's the OP of this thread? I am curious how he's doing now that he's been there a while...

 

That's encouraging news.. I too will be drinking the kool-aid in about 2 months after I recovery from my hernia surgery... Be safe out there!

 

You will find that almost everyone you talk to that's been with Mercer over three to six months, thinks it's the best thing we ever did.

 

How are the elogs working out over there? I am thinking about making the switch but that is one thing holding me back. So I guess what I am asking is can you run legal and make good money.
