    My contractor had a few drivers get popped by them.

    I've never noticed them before. If 4 over is going to get me points, may as well give them to me now and save themselves the trouble :yes2557:

    They drive personal vehicles. It was easy for me to spot them because I drive slow. I got clocked 59 in a 70 and 59 in 65. lol

    Rooster I don't remember if you went with a flatbed or with a van, but if it's a flatbed you do not want to be in Texas on a Friday with no load.

    The Cummins would most likely get better mpg from what I hear.I think the CAT's with a dpf had issues.
     
    Redrider Thanks this.

    Yeah, I have heard some horror stories on the Cats with DPF. Cat couldn't get that right so they just got out of the truck market.
     
    Redrider Thanks this.

    Hello all. Could you tell me if you guys (flatbed) experience a lot of load cancellations? I'm with Schneider and planning to come to Mercer after the first of year. Schneider cancels loads (and I've heard they go to their company drivers but I don't know) all the time and I'm just curious of Mercer. Thanks
