mercer transportation

What are your settlements averaging?

 

Depends on what loads you pull you get paid when you turn bol in. This week should be a good one as I already made more this week then I did with van ( this week means start Monday lol ). With these 2 loads. My coordinator is trying to find me something threw the house for the 4th. Would be nice to see wife n kid.

 

Mines utility only has 23 payments left when I picked it up might be the difference

 

They had with 33 left but tires dry rotted little lol.

 

I know they told me 535.00 for a flat. Plus phys damage insurance. Maybe that's how Pete is coming up with 635.

 

No it's another brand of trailer they have. They are older ones that got turned in. They are 635. Trying to remember name lol.

 

I am not saying all lp planes are set up this way but most are set up for the guy with bad to no credit or not enought money down. Witch to the investment world means high risk so high returns you know who pays that also from what I understand (but not positive) lp plans are not loans so paying them off dose not improve your credit rating. Now I have have a good credit score (747) and have never owned a truck but with $10,000 down and a letter of intent for work from mercer I was able to sign my name for a $74,000 truck 52 payments at 1,540 a month

With that said there are a lot of guys out there who have no problem making it work with lp trucks they know there cost, what they have to make and know how to set money aside for slow freight times. They probably have less breathing room then I do but they plan for it. Personally I would recommend like any new business have plenty of start up capital above initial cost for unforeseen problems

 

Anyone ever had to deal with Algae in your fuel? Would that make my fuel a dark green? My clear bowl the filter is black n it's less then 6,000 miles old.

 

They might have different trailers now but mine is a utility flatbed 2012 according to my pay statements I pay 535 trailer payment and $100 trailer escrow

 

When I say 635 I'm including escrow and that's the brand I'm talking about. I pay 535 with escrow
