mercer transportation

Yea got the part from a ta. Man that ground smelled so bad!!

 

hope you had RUBBER coveralls!

 

Link wouldn't open up from my email. On another note. We get a discount with "idle air" since I don't have ac until I get back to Florida.

 

Hey, I had that happen to me last week in rush hour traffic in NYC, then my load to replace it ended up picking up in Williamsport, MD instead of Williamsport, PA like it was supposed to, followed by the next load that the shipper changed the pickup point to Folsom, NJ after arrived to pick it up in PA, but hey, it all worked out in the end. Now I am sitting north of Savannah for the weekend waiting to deliver, so anyone running 95 in SC this weekend want to get some food, I'm at the Flying J in St George, I'll buy. Last week sucked because of all the back to back messed up loads, but it still ended up paying ok in the end. The Northeast does pay pretty good for some of those short runs, just have to be picky and aware of the tolls. Anyway, finish this load, then grabbing one out of Savannah to get me home. I figure I will take two weeks off for the 4th, I think after last week I earned it.

 

Yeah, I had the same problem. I guess I am the only one who has been scanning with the "in-cab scanning" that has been using the old cover sheets anyway. I thought they said we didn't have to, but I guess old habits die hard.

 

I used them too. Makes it easy to find the right Bol if I have to resend.

 

Yea I was able to find a load close by and get loaded early taking my time to get to pa. Beats sitting all weekend lol.

 

Nope but I'm buy a pair of overalls lol.

 

Those were last Friday's, Monday's and Tuesday's loads. I tried to find another one on Friday instead of sitting all weekend, but there wasn't anything I was able to get to on Friday in time, at least not that I was happy with. It was all frustrating, but in the end, I still had a good take home for the week. Not getting a lot for the load I'm on, but like I said, its helping me to get home, I'm willing to eat it this time. This will probably be the worst week I have had since I have started here and I am still projected to take home $2000. I can't complain when that is a bad week.

 

Oh come on, you know you want to complain. Lol. It's funny, I was thinking about the week I just had and your statement above. I remembered that there had been times with my old carrier I would end the week with a negative check. Now they were not often for me and always had to do with home time, but the did happen. Anyway, it made me realize that since I started around Xmas and with all the time I have taken off (I'm getting lazy here) I have yet to have a negative check. The closest I've come was a settlement that I took the full advance on after two weeks at home. When that settled I didn't receive and money to me but most of the 30% I have go into my reserve was still deposited and I had taken the full fuel advance. TBH I had expected for me to owe after taking the advance like that and was pleasantly surprised when I didn't. That did however make me sit down and figure out my exact daily cost for sitting at home or on the road waiting for the right load.
