mercer transportation

I Know its the cost of doing business just saying would be nice. Wish they would get rid of all the extra crap and at least add WiFi to it. I don't need the scale thing or Nav on that dam thing For that they could give us wifi in the truck from it lol

 

Mercer did not create the bad safety score, drivers did. Drivers still don't put on seatbelts, exceed the speed limit, drive erratically and make unsafe lane changes, and now the reason is always ELD 'made me do it', not to mention a plethora of mechanical defects which are not corrected.

If someone is not smart enough to know you have to plug in your phone for it to do this task then maybe they shouldn't be trusted driving an 80K lb truck either.

 

Exactly, nothing is "free". The majority of lease operators do not treat it as a business, nor do they have an understanding of business economics and accounting. No barrier to entry, no knowledge required other than get a CDL.

 

The season has started. Just booked 4 loads to do in 3 days, and home every night. More available if I wanted to run a little longer, but I like the much higher rate per mile of local loads when available. All these are construction materials going to warehouses as they start to stock up. By the end of the month rates should start going up.

 

I realize that. But anything that any driver does here resulting in CSA points is on the company as well.

But all the complaining about getting rid of the Keller logs. Sounds to me like a simple take it or leave it deal. Sitting here whining about it is a waste of time. $500 and a month fee and the sky is falling...

 

I already paid for Keller ,bought the tablet and paying for the data now they're going to something else and I have to pay again don't think so !I haven't had a ticket in over 20 year's this is my 34th year driver 27th year own my own truck moving on before December, Mercer is a good company I have made a good living here and don't want to but I'm just not paying again!

 

I did my part, got a level 2 in Maryland yesterday and no violations, I ask him to do a level 1 so it would count for Mercer inspection but he said it was too cold

 

Got one level 1 in last 2 years all good hope it helped

 

I hear ya. Good luck wherever you go. Mercer is a great place and I miss some of the people but I'm happyha where I'm at.

Yes sir.
