mercer transportation

IL,OH,NC and many other states I'm sure. You can ask your coordinator when you have lunch on the 2nd day of orientation.

 

View attachment 59391 Well I found a few small boost leaks. This one here I can't tighten its just a band with no way to tighten it. (Grrr) I will have to cut it off and put a regular clamp on it later. But at least I found something. While I was at it after rereading some of rawze's posts on the isx, I removed and cleaned what I think is the intake manifold pressure sensor and the dela p sensor, these are the first pic. Rob

 

Rob,
There are 2 maybe 1/4" stainless steel lines side by side going from the egr piping up to the underside of the fuel assembly. Remove these and make sure they clear.
Also, some of the sensors have recesses in the end of them, make sure they're cleaned out.. DO NOT use brake parts cleaner as it will tend to attract more soot sooner. Use either carb cleaner or, 409. Cummins here at home use 409.
Hope it helps.

 

Thank you for the tip. I did notice that the bigger of the 2 sensors I cleaned had a recessed hole in it, I tried to very gently clean that out. Some soot did come out. The other one was more like a probe that did have a coating of soot on it but notto bad. I will check out the lines you speak of later, too cold here and limited tools. Thanks for replying, rob

 

Wow glad I made it past inspection. Couple of these guys got a lot of stuff to fix. One thing mercer is strick about if u r coming here to work. Make sure you have 2threads showing on all axle studs. There is a fella here that has to change all his but 2.

 

Allen M. Hey I'm new to the forum, I tried to PM you but I have to do 7 posts before I'm allowed to do that.(learning, Friend of mine at Mercer told me to post it this way. ) I'm coming to Mercer soon and I just want to ask you about the Van freight. I'm out of Nashville Tennessee. Thank u and to other Mercer van driver whom may see this.

 

thats just ##### rediculous. that inspection is a racket thats got into many a mans wallet.......while i do agree on the safety and compliance, they nit pick things to keep the ol service trucks out on the lot busy and makin money. theres a kickback somewhere for someone in that whole mess........

 

Yes they are strick. But my experience, they don't make up stuff. But please explain need two threads showing on all axle studs?

 

what do any of you veterans know about a company called " is my driving safe .com" got a letter from len dunman in the mail saying some yo yo was following me on 95 in virginia right outside of D.C. doing 59 in a 55 and then 60 in a 55. I mean wtf really? so he proceeds to charge me 10 points of off my -10 score so that puts me back at a zero. Then my cord tells me because of some crap on the florida turnpike that mercers under the spotlight right now and has to do crap like this and have people follow us around once in a while. Kinda fries my u know what in a way going on 23 rd year of driving with no accidents or tickets and now because some blower in a car with a gps spots me going 4-5 over workin for some dot com outfit now im deemed an unsafe driver

 

i kinda get the feeling this place would sell you out in a heartbeat to cover ther own ###
