I dont do flatbed, but i have an uncle and several friends who do. If $1.75-2.00 is what they are saying thier current rates are. Then thier either skimming off the top before they offer the loads, or there a just a cheap cut rate outfit. The people i no flatybedding make a hell of a lot more than a frand a week. And the only thing i see they dont have that you would is the $295 weekly payment and appx 40 less in trl rent. But dont take my word for it I'm a bedbugger. So my info is second hand, but i hear the samt thing from all of them, and they dont no each other.

That's because Mercer does not haul cheap freight, and they have good equipment. You won't see them at many steel mills as they tend to run the specialty freight.
I live in the steel capital of the midwest and i see plenty of worn-out, plastic missing CRST trucks all pulling 40k+ coils. Then i see Mercer trucks loaded with beams and other goods and their equipment is deff a lot nicer than CRST's stuff. But you all got to start somewhere I guess -
But I don't think the mills are busy enough to have anybody busy right now. I go thru Logansport quite a bit and there are always 50+ trucks sitting around overnight... I'm glad I'm out of the steel business.
God bless those of you who can tolerate it. -
