mercer transportation

(SIZE=7] probably right just looking tryingto make up my mind on whether to lease or not it's a hard decision for me currently I have a flatbed and reefer with my own authority and looking at simplifying things. is the flatbed average somewhere in the $1.65 range.

 

Bout a month ago I seen a mercer driver with a reefer. It was a Freightliner classic. I wanted ask him if he was leasing with mercer and just using the trailer for van loads or if was a former contractor or whatever. I was curious but I didn't get to catch him.

 

I seen a Mercer red 379 Pete in Laramie WY going into the petro pulling a 48 spread reefer...not the best for van freight.I would just run flatbed.

 

I am probably not the one to answer this question have only been with Mercer since th beginning of February and still in the learning curve but I will give you my number straight

All of the miles on my truck I have made a $1.55 a mile on all miles since I've started that is with out the $3000 late model truck bonus if I include that it comes to a $1.70 keep in mind that's all deadhead and trips home

 

its a whopping .50 cents per transfer to your bank. I always get the full advance on every load. old habit from the old days

 

it seems guys that run west coast have a lower avg, mine is right at 2.00 for all miles this year so far 37 state fleet

 

I live in Idaho so going west is necessary but can limit it, I guess it's a jump in and see how it really is for me... I'm not worried about surviving but running non stop to make a buck. Been there done that.

 

why? llc wont protect a one truck operator. sole proprietor will work just as well for a one truck man

 

I think we can hear ya without all the big letters, I stated facts. it is what it is. but either wat don't think you will have to run nonstop either way.

 

you didn't look in all the right places. plenty of loads over 2.00 a mile , well over 250 miles.
