mercer transportation

Still waiting to get unloaded. Reload just down the road. Head home and back at it on the 5th.

 

Oh I get that part. Maybe it's my WB but I tend to lose traction on every pothole or driveway. I think I'd lose the savings in tow bills the first month.

 

Looks like we will be in L'ville for the night. I doubt anyone will be around?

 

So before I stated that the text stating how many pages were sent to Mercer could be annoying at times. Just realized that I haven't received a confirmation text all week. With the issues Monday and this morning I almost miss it. Almost.

 

i sent mine in at 0830? And i didn't get the text until noon lol was kinda shocked still haven't been paid on that load though

 

Yeah they had some issues again today but we will get paid. Probably won't hit the bank till Wednesday if you use DD but it will get there. Lol

 

It can be annoying in rough parking lots, but you just lift it up if you run into any issue with the dead axle keeping the drive axle from getting reaction. What you don't want unless you only ever went on smooth lots and no winters is a tag axle. A tag axle doesnt lift.

 

Right. Issues causing pay to be delayed a day or two never bother me. Maybe it would if we were on a weekly pay schedule, but as it is with each load paid as it comes in its no big deal to wait one our two more days. What bothers me is when things wth in their control prevent me from getting good loads and they have full control and responsibility for this unreliable load board we have to work with.

 

I agree, I have little to zero issues with pay delays. If I can go a month without working than I can wait a few days. I do have issues with the thousands of dollars the load board has cost me. But whatcha going to do? LOL.

 

Im at a breaking point with it. This week was potentially the most profitable week the market has allowed in 10 freaking years. The spot market was ripe for the picking, tightest capacity we have seen since before the fuel spike of 07, most tonnage being shipped since 08, AND the last wrk of the 2nd quarter which even in down markets is the best week of the year. Anything short of netting 5k this week should be viewed as a disappointment.
