    I guess I'm going to throw in the towel on the new way of scanning paperwork. Initially I didn't have any problems with them calling me but the past few loads they've called me about the paperwork not being readable including today ( Saturday). I'm just going to go the trip pak scan deal they have at the truckstops.

    Also, thought it was a little funny that I stopped into Mercer store on my way home yesterday and the guy who normally works the store wasnt in there, I asked the younger girl what happened to him she tells me he was moved to a different department. I ask her what department? She says IT department.... LOL. They calling in reinforcements to the IT debacle

    I'm not sure if it's the same now but when I started Transflo was $0.19 a page with a 4 page minimum. Won't be that much unless you pull a lot of short loads.

    Mailing them in is free though. Lol

    That's scary. George is good people but he's not good on a computer. At least not using one. Lol. Maybe he knows how they work but he's just not that fast using one. IDK. That couldd explain a lot about Mercer's IT situation though.

    Not George out in the warehouse the guy that takes the orders and payments before you go out to George. I can't think of the guys name, nice guy though.

    might be ugly but if i can pick up .5 MPG why the hell not thats more money in my pocket. You can had it where there is a Latch to remove or lift up a side and put the wood there or get a decent headache rack that stores the wood their

    You'd probably make better gains with adding side skirts to your truck, then maybe the flow below....heck add the air tabs and a fass system and you have a Kevin Rutherford honorary mpg degree!!!

    Well if you feel that's worth a try for extra money give it a shot. I don't know how consistent you would see .5 mile gain pulling a flat. Gotta remember prime runs 62mph also... I don't recall seeing many others with them on a flat that I can think of?

    Actually Eugene was a retired software engineer. His wife worked at mercer.

    He hired on for something to do and finally someone decided to utilize his skills.
