mercer transportation

SkateboardMan you put it niceley.
Allow me to mention some of the perks. Like when your in the yard after hours, there is 2 coursty cars to use to play around Louisville like Dinner and a movie.
Also Mercertown has Electic hookups so no need to run generator or your truck while there for AC, heat or microwave.
Also Free Laundry at Mercertown. Also 4 small movie theaters with the remotes available.
Not to mention the party Mercer puts on during the Truck show. Free food for a week, even at the truck show.
Also the great prices on equipment like straps, chains, binders, tarps, even will help sell your used boxes or headache rack.
Though I wish they had the sign on bonus when I signed on. I've heard of it, but do not know the details on it.
The only thing I didn't care for was running their base plate. But they allow everyone to run their base plate out, if you already have one. Which I did for several months. Trailer plate doesn't seem to matter though.

 

Sounds like a good place for a Democrat to work.
It doesn't "take a village" to operate my business.

 

good lord.

 

i think someone needs to barrow me all the extra junk for.orientation that i dont want to carry afterwards. lol

 

Sorry, but what part of you can have a cordinator find your loads, or you can contact the agents on your own makes this "a village running your business"?

 

Apparently nothing is good enough for you, so please don't lease on here. Or anywhere for that matter. Go get your own authority, deal with brokers(not that that is a bad thing) and start threads saying how bad rates are and the brokers are all getting rich and stealing from you. I just don't think you are going to be happy anywhere. Not trying to start a fight or argue with anyone, it's just the way I see it. But you are right, it does take a village to take care of the day to day operations of a fleet of 2300+ owner operators. I truly hope you find what it is you are looking for, I just don't think you will find here at Mercer. Have a good day.

 

I didn't mean the perks or "Village" is why I am here or a reason to lease on.
I just wanted to convey how well they treat O/O's here. I feel the O/O's run the company here. Not any single operator but the general group.
It is a business but more like a co-op than working for a company.
In the last 20 years out here, I've not seen another company like this. I've heard LandStar used to be. Probably gotten to big.

 

like i said, mercer isnt a good fit for you.

 

So Mercer does not have a load board system? How do you guys get your freight then, just wait till the cordinator calls you with a load offer? Can you book loads off other places like DAT and ITS??? Just wondering how it works over there.....

 

We have our own load board, just like you do.
