    Those are great words.

    We all know that the biggest problem here is that people are under capitalized. People think they have bought a truck, but can't afford to make repairs. I feel that if you buy a USED truck you better be able to pay for a rebuild. If you go new you better be able to spend a month plus in a hotel. Or buy a ticket home or do other things but the point is, you better have capital. If you are putting it all on credit cards then you will go broke.

    It is my understanding that you have to apply for one if you don't have one when you get there if you are refused I don't see them terminating the contract

    When they deduct for the plates, do they deduct a certain amount per day over a 3-month period (for example) or will it be all at once? We would get the 48 states with ability to go into Canada.
    Speaking of Canada, Roshea--do we have to have our own PARS/PAPS stickers and do our own ACE/ACI manifests or does Mercer provide them and do the manifests?
    Thanks!

    They take what ever u owe over the 3 months so basicly 2150 divide that by the number of days:p

    Thank you Trucker Pete. So about $23.89 a day for 3 months. Very fair in my opinion and easy to calculate what you might owe on any given day. Chickadee

    At least you got it on video. Watched a guy do that the other day in Jasper, FL. Victim truck blowing horn repeatedly, guy backed square into his grill, blindside, twice. Never got out and looked. Other driver got out screaming, thought I was gonna get to see a brawl
