Hey all, I’m an O/O with Mercer. Been with them since February. I like it here, just looking at what’s out there! I’ve had my CDL for about a year and 5 months now. Been doing flatbed for going on 7 months now.
But like I said, just looking at what my options are. I would love to get into doing Hopper bottom perhaps. But I also do just love open deck work.
Would there be any incentive to going to a company like Admiral Merchants, Ace Doran, Bennet, Landstar, etc as opposed to here at Mercer?
also feel free to recommend companies for Hopper, as long as it isn’t Bruce Oakley.

Was just comparing Landstar vs Mercer and saw Big Rig Nation posted below clip on YouTube
AppalachianDruid Thanks this. -
If I was gonna do hopper it would be as an independent no other way. Stay off the boards learn to find your own freight that’s all I’m gonna say about that part

Right on. I know guys with their own numbers that are core carriers for a large AG broker. Just dialing for dollars off of Bulk loads.com is a train wreck.
