leasing on to Mercer dry van

Dude did you even look at that link it goes from 2012 to today. Did you read it any???

 

Yep we do

 

Um, there are 1400 pages in that post. Trust me, it IS pertinent.

 

I take back what I said. Actually either flat or Van is what you make it. Which has more volume then it's Flat

 

An owner operator told me the went through a Mercer Agent to pull Wal-Mart trailers

 

Yes I did, now I'm going thru it backwards to find info for the last year, but thanks for your concern.

Thank you, I appreciate your input. I take it your pulling a flat. I see a lot of steps, how's the freight for them? Does mercer have enough step loads to make it worth the weight issue? Anyhow, thanks again.

Some is, some isn't.

 

Any west coasters out there? Portland/Seattle ?

 

Can you tell us what your average per mile has been and what area(s) you run the most? How long have you been pulling a van for Mercer?

 

Been pulling van here 2 years. My average rate per mile varies on the seasons. I stay on I-10 in the winter so it's lower, during the summer all I run is Canada so it's much higher then most vans here.

I run a lot of West coast freight & a lot of Canadian freight. That's what works for me. Everyone has to find their niche here. If you wanna stay in the same 10 state area you can do it if you have very little overhead.

Mercer is a flatbed company. That is what 99% of people forget when they lease on here pulling van. You will not make the same money as a flat in a calendar year. This is not your typical van company. It's difficult to learn the lanes & stay productive until you find what works best for you.
