    Would a fouled spark plug cause this. After the engine warms up is when she's lacking the power to run...

    Pete, it wouldn't hurt to try a new plug. Also check fuel and air filter, try the marine plug in that thing,

    Hi, Everyone. I am looking for some information from Mercer drivers. I am trying to help my father get into a truck. We are obviously looking at getting on with a company like Mercer when we do this.

    He is a company driver right now only making .44cpm and nowhere near the miles he used to be getting.

    He is tired of the crap and has always wanted to be his own boss.

    We have had many drivers suggest getting started with Mercer. It looks like a great company that works well for its drivers and is a great place to work.

    I am looking to speak with or talk to Van drivers. I am trying to get some numbers together to do a cost analysis before we jump into everything.

    We know Mercer is a heavily Flat bed company. His only reservation is with heavy tarping since he is older
    But he is open to none tarp possibly.

    I would love some advice from others on what cost I should be calculating and what to expect working with mercer.

    I know each person has a different experience and what they can do as far as understanding the system and lanes. I would help in this aspect and basically load plan, negotiate, ect for him to ensure we are getting everything done right.

    I would appreciate any advice and if I forgot anything please let me know. The mercer community looks like I friendly one and I look forward to speaking with you all.
