    I'm not a Canadian but I met a Canadian dude that was leased to Mercer awhile back. All he could run was Canada/U.S. and U.S./Canada, I don't think it worked out too good for him.

    Thanks for the reply,,,,that's all us Canadians can do,,,run one down,,,reload and bring one back,,,no interstating!!!
    Just trying to feel it out,,,see how the Canadian mercer guys are making out,,,getting loads into the USA isn't a problem,,just not sure how many mercer agents bother with Canadian loads!!!

    Just a thought, I'm not with Mercer although there are/were a couple of guys out of Bowmanville on there, but FYI the loads back into Ontario from the US outnumber the outbound around 2 to 1, and the rates are a whole lot better too. I would call down to Louisville and straight up ask them what they think and whether they have any Canadian agents.

    Thanks again for the replies!!!
    I know the agent for Canada,,,he's a real good guy,,,have talked with him different times,,,just kinda wanted a "from the horses mouth" account of how things are working out for guys/brokers running out of Ontario
    Kinda like the idea of not having a "dispatcher",,,haven't had one in 15 years,,,just looking at some options!!!

    Thing is that not HAVING a DISPATCHER works for some and not for others.
