mercer transportation

Most of us spend $2600-$3000 on flat equipment. It of course depends on the headache rack and binders that one opts to get. Most could save a few bucks picking up a used headache rack off eBay or Craigslist. But one should expect to spent $1300-$1500 upfront if they are getting everything through the Mercer store. Also most find out they need more then the Min. Requirements pretty fast. At least a few extra straps and stuff.

 

Headache rack?

 

It's the chrome box on the back of my truck in the picture, not all are this expensive

 

Oh yeah! Ive seen those! Are those required? Id rather arrange my stuff in the provided storage boxes and call it a day to save money till i can get one.

 

Headache rack is required, but it doesn't have to be enclosed. It can be just a flat rack.

 

####. Lol well i guess ill go rob a bank or something in preparation for the oncoming payment.

 

You won't get out of inspection with out a headache rack on the truck or the trailer. How much research have you done? Where did you get your truck? Mainly what year is it?

 

Im getting a truck thru quality. 2013 cascadia

 

I don't know if you read through this thread but it's ideal to have $3000-$5000 on hand when coming up in case anything happens. I don't mean to come off like a ### but how much researching have you done to become a O/O and have you made a business plan prior to even starting?

 

You sound like an A$&. LOL. But of course you are making an important point.

And as I've been on vacation, but wasn't there a big tado about no more quality trucks or something about two weeks ago? Was that just a rumor?
