mercer transportation

Not surprising that you have a hard time finding something worth doing in Western Iowa. It must be 400 miles to the Chicago CZ. How often do you have to bounce that far for a decent load?

 

The only time I bother to ask my coordinator how many trucks are in an area is if it is west of I-35, otherwise I am more than willing to do what most everyone else doesn't want to do or can't.

 

I have only had to do that twice so far, normally I bounce 150-200 miles to a decent paying customer to get me out. But this customer has been really slow this year.

 

But one nice thing is they haven't dropped the rates on us at all. And both times that I bounced to Chicago area was right at 600 miles, darn hard on overall per mile to the truck.

 

It always blows my mind that how poor rates are West of I-35. We are usually better to bounce to Waterloo than to haul junk from the Western half.

 

Who's all going to the truck show and Mercer Party?

 

I only live a few miles from the terminal. I hope to be there to meet some of you guys. I want to know if a few of you are as dumb in person as you seem on the internet

 

Not me, I'm not going anywhere near that cluster. I plan on staying out and making money.

 

I thought you was running for Mercer? Or you got something else going on?
