I know there is an insulation plant Mercer regularly pulls out of a lot. I would talk to the local broker about some decent regional or shorthauls that can be dedicated.
Many of us on here disagree a lot. But one thing we agree on is how bad the freight is in El Paso Tx.
Salt Lake City area

Yep. Dedicated account for insulation, but i figure the waiting list is a mile long. At least it is at all the other insulation plants we have dedicated accounts at.
james combs Thanks this. -
How Far East would a person realistically have to go to run good shipping lanes with mercer?

I know this is an old topic but I'm going to be moving to Salt Lake City soon and buying a truck within the next year or so. I've heard good things about Mercer but wondering if I'll be able to survive a truck payment and stay out west while being home a day or two over the weekend. I think I'd need to average minimum $1.75 a mile (for all miles) for it to be worth leaving my company and going owner op and anything more than that I'd just save. are there enough consistent loads to CA, OR, WA and back for this to possibly work? anybody have an idea of what the rates are usually for these lanes?

Cant be of much help on this one cause i don't run that far west unless it pays stupid money then i just get what i can to get back east.Croissant329 Thanks this. -

To add to my comment above. I'm in freaking south Florida for gods sake. The worse of the worse flatbed markets and if I can manage to make money here there is no reason someone else can't in another location.
