    What are you expecting on rates? And you do know this is probably the worse time of the year for freight?
    The majority of Mercer van freight is brokered,
    and by majority, I mean 80-90%. So you are paying Mercer 25% for an agent to repost broker/spot market freight..... Just so you know what your dealing with, but with that being said, I like it here.
    Last 30 days, gross (to the truck), $17.2k on 10.4k all miles, 17% DH.

    thaistick, yeah... I know but a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do. Where I was at, I was sitting more than running. I researched a lot, talked to truckers here and at the truck stops. Heard nothing but good about Mercer. I appreciate the info and the numbers are better than where I was.
