mercer transportation

My brother is a vet and has brain damage. He has similar issues and is a ward if the state. For about ten years. Been in and out of the system. We step in with documentation get him to a mental health site instead of jail. It sucks and makes me sad, but nothing compared to what he goes through.

He needs a diagnosis and to be labeled. Otherwise it might be jail or prison.

Can you get him to seek professional help?

 

Ha, sorry I meant wheel seals on international trucks. I had one years ago and had lots of leaky wheel seals too.

 

Vangie, you and i rarely see things the same here but on this one we are one hundred percent seeing the same thing with this.

I'd also like to add, even if the issues are due to the users being inept(which for the most part that is not accurate, its software error not user error) the programming needs to be designed for the user. In this case the user is a bunch of old truck drivers. sure we got a few tech savvy young guys here, but the vast majority of us are older folks that finished school long before computers were common, let alone smart phones. Mercer doesnt have the nickname "the retirement community for oo's" cause we were a bunch of young tech savvy dudes. The software needs to be designed simple, basic, and easy to use. Not designed for the tech savvy it crowd.

And that's my biggest complaint about our it department, they are designing this thinking how they would want it to look and use, not for the 65 year old contractor that went straight into trucking out of high school.

 

Unfortunately that's not a practical option. Those of us that use the board heavily do so every chance we get. If we aren't driving we are looking at the board. If not for the next load, then studying markets. The hotspotted tablet idea means every time you are getting out of the truck you are having to take both your phone and your tablet with you. Be it going in to have lunch, or sitting at the end of your trailer waiting 20 minutes while the fork lift runs to the other side of the job site to get the next pump.

 

I can't let my brother be homeless n hungry so my wife got him yesterday. Monday we are gonna get his meds n call around for some help.

 

Well I bought those tarps... I thought it was a good deal. 300 for 2 8ft drops with 4 or 5 rows of d rings with flaps.

 

I dont see how the truck manufacturer makes a difference. Gotta remember they don't build the drive axles or even the steer axle. An eaton rear end is an eaton rear end, doesnt matter if it's in a volvo, peterbilt, or international. The only real difference between them is how they bolt up to the trucks suspension.

 

If the tarps are in good shape its a great deal.

 

Yeah one tarp has 2 small holes. Nothing I can't patch.

 

Now the question is should I keep my 4ft tarps on the truck or not lol
