    that was my friend rich. We talked this afternoon, and he told me a story about how these new guys can't bank up to save their lives. A prostar with a new, but not brand new mercer number, with new straps and chains. figured it was you.

    Had a beautiful round trip booked for tomorrow but the first leg cancelled at 4pm. 2.78/a mile to Montana, reload 200 miles away for 1.87 to pa. Would of cleared well over 6500 on six days of work. But instead here I sit with no load. Me be a sad panda.

    I think you all are very old:D When i walk around the yard people look at me weird maybe cuz im young? or maybe im just weird looking xD. Louisville is full tonight no parking here and it looks like saturday they are doing an event they have no parking signs all over the street for saturday. Cookout 2moro is what i heard, Im prob pull out of this area around 0700 so i can skip rush hour.

    Well they dont pay for TAGS you pay for them out of your settlements its not very much @ all u cant really tell. Basicly you end up paying for everything fuel/Tags/Insurance(CHEAP)/Trailer payments/ a $350 escorw that comes out like 1.97 a settlement i think it is? might be 300. Mercer does pay your IFTA though

    Thanks, truckerpete1990!!

    I was looking at the fuel price list. Dangit.....there's some huge savings there!!

    What all comes with this $2800 headache rack/equipment package you can get from Mercer?

    What's the average trailer payment? I'd prefer to straight lease one until I make sure this is what I wanna do. If it is I'll buy one sometime down the road.

    I think its 535? or 635(This is with 100 escrow each month for ur Balloon payment at the end of your 5 year lease.) If you turn in the trailer before they will use your 100 escrow each month to pay for wear & Tear. To be honest ur getting mercer trailer at a good deal for a new one. no benfit to paying it off early. When i came in wed i paid $2.30 for fuel lol/
