    Any updates with mercer? Anyone knows what's their average freight per mile pays? Thinking about giving them a call today. How does their lease trailer purchase work?

    I called a month or two ago when I was putting some serious consideration leasing on with them and iirc he said it was about 1.80/mile for flats. I imagine things have picked up from that though.

    1.80 on all miles after their 26% commission? Or is it 1.80 minus the 25%?

    The 1.80 was after their cut.

    I think they hold pretty steady in the 1.80 range give or take a couple pennies. Atleast in the 3 years I was leased on it was.

    Depending on availability you will take over the remaining payments on a used trailer or get a brand new...

    All the used have been gone over and will be up to standards.

    Pretty simple no money down/no credit check lease. $1 buyout at the end... I could be wrong I think my flat was $550 a month.

    I ended up buying my own and giving Mercer theirs back after a year or so. They will charge you for everything that needs repaired.

    Are still there with them? How does it work a dispatcher offers you loads or do you use a device to look at their load board to choose your load?
