mercer transportation

Those are great words.

We all know that the biggest problem here is that people are under capitalized. People think they have bought a truck, but can't afford to make repairs. I feel that if you buy a USED truck you better be able to pay for a rebuild. If you go new you better be able to spend a month plus in a hotel. Or buy a ticket home or do other things but the point is, you better have capital. If you are putting it all on credit cards then you will go broke.

 

It is my understanding that you have to apply for one if you don't have one when you get there if you are refused I don't see them terminating the contract

 

So im looking at our CSA score.. all i can say WTF is wrong with people? Drinking and Driving SERIOUSLY in a SEMI???

 

When they deduct for the plates, do they deduct a certain amount per day over a 3-month period (for example) or will it be all at once? We would get the 48 states with ability to go into Canada.
Speaking of Canada, Roshea--do we have to have our own PARS/PAPS stickers and do our own ACE/ACI manifests or does Mercer provide them and do the manifests?
Thanks!

 

They take what ever u owe over the 3 months so basicly 2150 divide that by the number of days

 

Thank you Trucker Pete. So about $23.89 a day for 3 months. Very fair in my opinion and easy to calculate what you might owe on any given day. Chickadee

 

Did you see the video posted on here a few weeks ago of the trucker in Minnesota? So #### faced drunk he couldn't even stand up? LOL.

 

Im about to post a video from my dash cam...

 

Well this happen about 30 mins ago. Watching youtubes in the bunk area and yeah... Sounded my horn the first time. He didn't get out and look. 2nd time AGAIN sounded my horn and he left. Lazy #######...

 

At least you got it on video. Watched a guy do that the other day in Jasper, FL. Victim truck blowing horn repeatedly, guy backed square into his grill, blindside, twice. Never got out and looked. Other driver got out screaming, thought I was gonna get to see a brawl
