mercer transportation

Yea you could bring your own trailer and set up orientation that following Monday. That's what I'd recommend guys do if they can get financing on a trailer. Prob get a good used one for about $10k-$15k to get ya started.

 

Mercer doesn't care how you get a trailer.

 

I think we had 20-25 guys/gals in our class. The trailer guy told us getting flats that he had 5 used and about 4 new trailers that were ready. I grabbed a used one with new tires and brakes 80%. Everyone else grabbed new. I'm assuming Wednesday class prob took what was left that week. From what he said is that it from a guy quit and brings a trailer back it could take a awhile to get it ready to sell depending on what it'll need and how busy the mechanic is which with guys getting trucks inspected everyday the mechanic can be behind on trailers. As for new, well your at the mercy of the manufacturer getting orders in and trailers made especially with everybody and their brother buying flats

 

Are most of the people in orientation Quality Trucks? Or are there lots of Owner Ops coming on board too....

 

I would make sure he has the title in hand, you might be surprised otherwise

 

no

 

Thanks

 

Well this trip ended good. Another driver gave me his pre booked load? It was nice to see out west again

 

How far west did you get?
