Mercer Pay

Mercer offers these contract highlights:

• 75% of gross revenue (excluding 1% insurance surcharge).
• Paid promptly after every trip.
• $350 total escrow deposit deducted at the rate of $10 per month
• You may have to pay up to first $1,000 charge for cargo or liability claim.

Mercer does not charge state fuel and mileage taxes, unless trip leased to another carrier.

Looks like a 1099 outfit, so your responsible for your quarterly taxes.

 

Mercer doesn't have company drivers. All owner operators are considered independent contractors and in business for themselves. As such, you are responsible for your own equipment, maintenance and taxes. Since they pay your fuel taxes the only quarterly taxes you need to file are income taxes unless you only file at the end of the year.

 

And you better have the money, Mr. Tax man doesn't play

 

Go read the Mercer threads already statrted under "Mercer" (oddly enough)

There are plenty of hands there to answer you. There are no "Mercer drivers" per se; they only have owner ops. How much you make is pretty much up to the guy you see in the mirror.

 

Ok...........here's the deal. I am an indie; and pull a load for Mercer on occasion. I am NOT leased to them. There are a TON of guys that post IN the Mercer thread who you could PM and aske questions about revenue. It depends on what you are pulling for a trailer and where you will run. And yes, whether you like it or not; it depends MOST on you.

The only reason I even responded was to try and steer you to the pre-existing Mercer thread(s) where you have a much better chance of having your question(s) answered.
