mercer transportation

Hang in there. When you find yourself sitting search the board. Not only for where you are but also do searches by state. This will help you learn the lanes. The good and bad areas. Try to find a triangle to work in. It can be hard to go from say.... Chicago to Memphis and back. But maybe Chicago to Memphis to Tulsa and back to Chicago will work better. (I'm just making up cities here. I don't know van lanes). Don't be afraid to sit. People run for cheap all the time because they feel the wheels have to be turning. By searching different areas all the time you will have a better idea of what a fair rate for an area is. This may save you from taking $1.5 load when the average is $1.7. Remember coordinators have certain loads they have to call you about. Dont be afraid to say no. There is no penalty.

 

Yeah they had none called Tuesday wasn't anything coming out. We are bidding on a load now lol

 

Lol. My key word there was "heads up" as in before you get there. Lol. They will find you something.

 

Oh you called last Tuesday. Lol. See you need a Cali truck to go out there. All loads go to Cali. Lol

 

Oh yeah I did last week it's just slow out here. But it's nice to come out here once in awhile. Won't come back any time soon lol

 

Well yall save me some freight around phoenix. After I get done playing up here in the frozen tundra for a fee more days I'm going where it's warmer.

 

Lol. I'm out east ATM. It's been pretty warm (for winter). No freight out west. I feel bad for Pete.

 

I wouldn't be headed out there if it weren't for this crazy week. I'm perfectly happy east of the Mississippi River

 

Got the load out of Phoenix to Ohio. It's saddles? Guess I don't get the horses

 

Have fun with that
