mercer transportation

My understanding of a pyrometer is. The sender is a milivolt generator, the sender produces electricity to power the meter from heat. 12 volt power only powers the light.This is for old style isspro analog pyrometer.

I have no idea about a digital pyrometer gauge. This digital age confuses me.

 

Hey everybody! I have read what seems like this whole post and there is a ton of info. However, I can't find anything on how Mercer is for teams in the van division. I've talked to a few drivers both solo and team and hear numbers like $22,000 a month gross, $4,000 a week net. How does this compare to flatbed? I read about a Mercer flatbed driver saying 10k net a week! Crazy!
I know it all depends on the individual or team or division, etc....is flatbed greater than all? Flatbed = team van? Team greater than solo? Just want to hear some thoughts.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

 

And where did you read all this???

 

you always got the one customer that does claim

 

10,000 a week net

 

Must have been an Alaskan load.

 

Right...

 

That driver is on a dedicated secret squirrel load apparently. 22/month gross is very doable, 4/week net depends completely on your expenses, but possible, but 10/week net, I want those loads, maybe it's worth the passport if that's a weekly avg

 

Kool. Thanks all. I'm trying to find out what is realistic and what is story time on the Internet.

Saw a Mercer truck with a SD here in Missouri. More friendly than the company I work for....

 

I see quite a few team van loads out of the north west and we do have alot of folks running around claiming to be a team but I believe it's more like one couple told me last week. They said they were more super solo. That 10 grand a week net thing seems more fairy tale than truth. I may happen a few times a year but I don't see it as a rule.
