My Mercer Experience 8-31-15

Thank You so much for this post. I just got the go ahead from Mercer this week to get me truck. there are a lot of things you posted that I didn't think about, you have already saved me a lot of time and money.
thanks again for the post.

Things I learned, get my twic card before I go, have a metered dot done on my truck before I go.
I'm buying my truck and trailer outside mercer, so I hope to have it all weigh inspected and equiped before I goto orientation.

I know people will ask this, Why buy my truck and trailer outside of mercer. I don't want to owe money to people who have atlease some control over my income.

 

Mercer don't care where you get the truck from they still operate the same in which they don't control your income at all. It's in you

 

Has anyone done a lease thru Quality truck lease? I'd like some feedback on them.

 

Oh no! I hate to hear that! My husband had his first one only days after purchasing his 07 Pete 379 very first wreck in 17 years and first time ever in a semi! Hope you don't have any problems getting it fixed! His was in the shop for 3 weeks! Put us behind on everything and that was in July! We're still feeling that!! Good luck!

 

Now I'll make sure that's the first thing I hook up before I drive the new truck off the lot

You in the shop or waiting for some downtime?

 

I haven't had to deal with insurance yet here. But I've read good things about them.

 

Insurance isn't paying for a rental. They may pay a small amount for down time but I wouldn't expect much. Civil litigation is your only option, and chances are the guy doesn't have any money. Basically, welcome to being a business owner.
