mercer transportation

Whats the oldest year tractors mercer accepts?

How picky are they about the paint and stuff. It's just I'm looking for an older truck, but its hard to find an older truck with meticulous paint. I'm mainly shopping in the 1998-2002 year ranges. Obviously I wouldn't buy a truck thats all smashed up and banged up with missing fairings adn such, but I'd accept one with flaking paint and maybe attempt to do some touchups.

 

The age limit they have is can an elog plug into it. So unless you get an early n14, or mechanical cat (early 90s) you will be fine. As far as cosmetics go, badly flaking paint will get ya failed. Along with busted up fairings/bumper. It doesn't have to look like it just came from the truckshow, but needs to look like you care.

 

Pete what is your freight sc does not require a permit for certain os loads

 

10ft wide plates for a tank. They gave us wrong info on first one so they had to reorder it lol...

 

Look on sc dot site you may not need one took boat docks to nc though sc no permit needed

 

OD permits says i do.. Problem here is SC didn't get to my permit in time unless they are gonna work late today.. And they are closed monday.. So if i can't get that permit im stuck on this load untill tuesday maybe weds...

 

Welcome to the world of os/od. Hope it paid good. These things happen when playing this game so make sure the load pays good enough to make up for it when things get fubar'd

 

its paying decent but not enough to be stuck on it 2 extra days lmao But it happens i guess.

 

I was there the week of 1/23/17 for orientation. I have to say They are one class act! Walking around and getting things done that I had to do , every where I was it was top notch. Free coffee every where, Free showers, Free laundry, and boy if I new how to cook..... that fully stocked (pots& pans) kitchen beets all. But I was impressed with the pet walking area. Every one treated me with respect and the inspection bay which I was the most concerned about went off without a hitch. Looking forward to going back.

 

What truck did you end up with?

 

ended up with a 2005 W900 so far so good

Ended up with a 2005 W900. Going good so far, but I keep thinking about Truckerpete.
