mercer transportation

Yea flat. Its about all I know other than step deck lol

 

I dont drive for mercer (waiting for acceptance 2006 int 9900 ) but in reading all the mercer threads alot of the mercer guys dont want to go to cal as the rates are not very good coming out.

 

ah im doing van never did flat or step i thought about trying it but not sure yet just wanna get my truck and start making my money lol. I should be setup to go on the 29th for van gonna follow up monday morning with them.

 

The trailers i seen for lease dont have the j hook setup.

That's great. That is the same day I am hoping to start orientation, but we will have to see when they can get me in

 

Thanks for that, I am hoping for chain ties on the trailer

 

don't count on that either. I have a great Dane xl from them. It's nothing special but it is light for a combo flat. Mine is 10300 I believe with all my crap in the boxes. They are nice trailers for what they are but don't expect any frills.

 

Well I guess freight is picking up. Took the week leading up to Easter off and came back out of Cali on Tuesday. By yesterday I was booked through the week of the 20th. All paying north of 2.3 and no DH over 46 miles. I do have my first wide load over next weekend. That should be a learning experiance. I'm sure I'll be asking a question or two to some of you old timers 😜

 

If you are doing a O/D in Alabama you will need a red ink pen.

 

Originally I used this thread to make my decision to lease on with Mercer. Next month will be my 1 year. I pull van all 48 & Canada & I live in one of the worst freight states for van. Needless to say, I do very well here at Mercer. If anyone is on the fence about pulling van here, you have to know where to run and where not to go. Obviously pulling flat/step you will do significantly better, but its not hard to make a living here pulling a box.
