I’m starting this thread to reach anyone who’s ever been wronged by Mercer Transportation — not just drivers stuck in lease-purchase traps, but anyone who feels they were taken advantage of while working with them.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
In my case, it started with a lease-purchase — they terminated me, refused to accept final payments, repossessed the trailer, then sued me anyway for the full trailer value plus $60,000+ in inflated legal fees, even using a handwritten judgment amount that no court ever awarded. But I know there are other drivers and owner-ops who’ve been hit in different ways.
- If you ran loads for Mercer and weren’t paid what you were owed
- If they charged you unauthorized fees or deductions
- If they stiffed you on final settlements after you left
- If they terminated you for no good reason and then came after you in court
- Or if you saw any other kind of abuse, dishonesty, or shady practices while leased on or hauling Mercer freight
I’m not just looking for lease-purchase horror stories. If Mercer screwed you in any way, I want to hear about it.
Here’s the bigger plan:
I’m putting together a list of drivers and contractors who were abused, scammed, or taken advantage of by Mercer — with the goal of turning all of this over to a class action attorney who can take it from there. The more of us who speak up, the stronger the case.
If you’ve got a story, post here or message me privately. If you’re reading this and never dealt with Mercer yourself, but you know someone who did — send them this thread. I want to reach as many drivers, contractors, and former Mercer partners as possible.
We all know the games these big companies play — let’s not let them keep getting away with it in the dark.

How many times are you going to post the same thing here? Repeating yourself over and over doesn't help your cause. It makes you look obsessive and crazy. This diminishes your case by hurting your character.
navypoppop Thanks this. -
If you’re not interested, that’s fine — just skip my posts. But if you’ve got something to add about Mercer’s practices, or if you know someone else who got burned, I’d like to hear it. -
MercerLeaseTruth and HaglerFan Thank this.
