    Mercer isn't the only carrier that does a lot of military. Landstar bennett admiral sammons and many others pull a lot of military freight. Im not trying to say don't come here but there should be better reasons than that.

    Im not pushing him away. He says he wants to come here to pull military freight. I responded to that part of his statement alone.

    I know that others haul for the military I actually did some research on sammons but didn't get a good vibe on them ters some old school commradery here at Mercer if you read this whole thing you pick up on that plus I live in Sidney Oh I believe right in the meat and potatoes area for Mercer I believe I could stay no farther than 400 mi from home and make good money and probably be home every week but when I get that itch to go somewhere goofy I got that option and did I mention I like going to Chicago

    Buy a regroover online and fro it yourself when you have time to kill. 100 bucks. A shop will want 25 our 30 bucks each plus insist on removing them so gonna pay another 30 bucks or so a tire for that.
