mercer transportation

Same here

 

Well i drove 180 miles for a load to find out its been canceled for two days and no one updated system... its already 3:40 prob wont get nothing today.

 

Did you call the agent before hand

 

When i was (Dispatched) on it. after about an hour i called the agent and i asked him for a phone number to contact the cust he said leave him a voicemail and i did. Thats when cust called and said its canceled lol

 

I'll be headed to mercer once my application is approved. Having difficulty with employment verification....one out of business....one bonehead!

I know mercer will provide me with the $2800 equipment startup kit. Not knowing what is in the kit, is it sufficient, not sufficient, what other items or a specific list of equipment would you start with if you were to do it all over again?

Thanks,
Toby

 

You pick what you want off the list. Have you ever did flatbed before? If so just check off what you absolutely need now and then get other stuff later. If you haven't pulled a flat then the recruiter will get with you on the basic stuff you'll need. You'll prob ask what everyone has and you'll get different answers because we all run different, secure different and live in different areas to which requires certain items to be financially successful. Good luck on getting approved.
