mercer transportation

That sucks.

 

No fair, I didn't get the appointment time until we were already underway. Ha, I can listen to you guys that have been here a while tell stories all day...Thanks for meeting up Skate! Hopefully you made it out of the northeast unscathed. Roshea is headed to eastern PA for Mothers' Day so he is doooomed for the short term.

 

Nice meeting you jay, I unloaded this morning and reloaded this afternoon outside Boston, camped out at Rhode island ta tonite

 

It sounds like Monday wears the pants. You better teach Monday who's boss and quick.

 

I loaded my first coil today. Granted it's aluminum.

 

You shouldn't strive so much to be like me. Sure I'm always happy, but it's expensive.

I put mine in the shop for the 3rd time in a week when I got out to CA, then flew home. Flew back out today and picked up the truck, maybe it's fixed this time.

I told my coordinator I had faith in him, book me something while I'm on the plane since I can't say yay or nay at 37000 feet. I landed in Ontario and had a load for Friday going back east. Not the best per mile rate, but over $3k for a weekend run. So I committed to a load that I was 14th on for tomorrow (it was well after 5pm) and I got a call immediately thanking me for taking it blah blah blah. Weird thing was it was north of $4/mile and fairly light, but hey its a nice little filler load, not sure why everyone else passed on it.

 

Coils are not nearly as bad as people make them out to be. Secure them right, and don't drive like mario andretti.

 

But Mario was a great driver....or IS I guess, but he's starting to get old

 

Man I hope you manage to actually get that thing fixed this time. That has the PACCAR engine in it right? Well I at least hope you enjoyed the house.

My bill wasn't too bad. I had already planned on getting the trailer done this week. And to my surprise the truck wash paid the body work bill without a fuss.

You coming back east so fast? I figured it was time for me to come west for a few months. Although I don't think I'll ever get the #1 spot back. That guy has held it for weeks. I know the #2 guy and he lives out west too. $4 at #14 doesn't surprise me to much and is always a nice filler when it falls in your lap like that. Hopefully when I'm ready to roll again I can find ANY loads. I really don't want the big deadhead I'm looking at.

 

I used to haul them all the time as a company driver. They're easy. Just throw a crap load of chains on em and tighten them down and put her in the wind
