mercer transportation

Met a Mercer step decker couple weeks ago over the weekend in Walcott IA. He dead headed from middle of Ohio for a load in Davenport IA, said he couldn't find a load in OHIO! I thought he must be nuts. He showed me the load board but it was a Sunday so slim pickings. He says guys are jumping ship pretty fast, not enough loads to go around with all the lease trucks.

 

You don't look for a load on Sunday.. bet he showed u matched loads too.

 

Yea it's rubber boot. I put duct tape on it lol

 

your thoughts were correct. You definitely encountered a nut

 

He should have found something out of Ohio had he waited until Monday. Some Landstar agents post loads on Sunday evening, but most don't post on weekends.

 

Put a small hose clamp on it if ya got one, and tighten up tight. Good to go !!

 

Mercer agents don't put loads on weekend. Its 8 to 5 Monday to Friday, with lunch at 1230 to 1330.

 

How did the rod manage to come out of the boot?

 

No clue was a bumpy road. Last year on a company truck I broke 3? They told me they are cheap.

thanks was about to buy a new one lol.

 

Lol Im lucky. Grabbed a load 70 miles away. It's gonna put my all miles about 2.45 not bad for going to nd.
