Mercer, Whats to be expected for startup cost of equipment?

It clearly states preferred.

 

10/4.

 

If you are going to pull a flat, you’re going to need them. Steps not as much.

When I bought my tarps, they cost me $250 per tarp. My tarp rate is $250 per tarp. If they are willing to pay my rate, I am willing to tarp. I will even smile and hum a tune.

Make sure that, when you are figuring out your numbers, to get value for your time.

Luck in battle.

 

I pull a flat with them. Call recruiting and they will email you a price list of everything they sell. In addition to what I see required your going to want to buy enough felt padding to cover an entire load, a couple 4" ratchet straps.

If you plan on not tarping ever I would plan on not doing flatbed here. Pull a van.

 

Best of luck to you.

 

All the Keffers I know around Chesapeake/Mt Pleasant have all kinds of money! You can afford it!

 

$3400 or a little better for the bare minimum. That's everything through Mercer. You have some options as far as tarps, binders, and such. They will loan you 50% but that only goes so far, so don't plan on buying $8k of equipment with a $4k loan.

Choose your tarp sizes wisely. Get some felt and some ratchet straps, and at least a couple ratchet binders.
