mercer transportation

I havent hauled a load for $1.70 in over 2 years.... and I dont sit. What are you talking about?

 

You can do better then a 1.70 on all miles I am but I am not running large gross income right now I trie to stay 2 to 3 loads booked out it has its + &- being out that far unless someone is home waiting on a load people empty don’t want to wait that long for a load so if no one empty wants it goes to the first inbound truck to commit to it one of the down sides with freight still slow sometimes I end up booking freight for the day after I drop also don’t be afraid to call the agent and see if it’s possible to pickup a load you are interested in a day early or late a lot can and will the load I booked for tomorrow called me and said they changed the order needed picked up and drop Friday worked for me I was dropping today called my Monday pickup and asked if I could pickup Friday they got it approved be proactive

 

You're lying. Even the best of the best here has had to haul under $2. Unless you're running nothing but loads under 200 miles. But if you're running large miles you're definitely hauling under $2 stop it.We all see the same loadboard

 

Mercers a great company but once in awhile something leaves me scratchin my head. The way i said it is how its been explained to me by several people in louisville. So i called to see when it changed. They said it hasnt worked that way in several yrs. Ive just now been here 2 yrs so i got outdated info since the day i signed my lease

 

Shoot I’m still confused how guys plan out 3 loads in advance let alone 2 or 3 weeks out. I got a lot to learn for sure. I was hoping to be home on weekends but I’m not sure that’s going to work out not till I figure this stuff out.

 

You're not gonna be home in the weekends unless you live in a prime area or you don't require allot of money weekly.. They should have told you that before you came on

 

I live in southern Ohio which is a good spot it’s just getting everything lined up to make it happen.

 

Corso you sound unhappy. Life is to short to be unhappy even for a day. Maybe it’s time to find your calling

 

Big difference in $1.70 and $1.90.... I'm not lying. Have I dipped below $2, yes.... but my average is well above $2
