    @JonJon78 I'm just busting your balls....

    But the cost to switch is about a $1000, first year....some say it's the cost of doing business, which is true, but that cost needs to be evaluated and determined by the individual if that cost adds value to their business. It's more than 1% of my pre-tax net profit, not huge but going into a time that potentially could be soft, needs to seriously considered.
    Is it a deal breaker for me, I don't know yet, but it could be a contributor for a change for me.

    As long as the phone is mounted I pull it off they ask for certain things show em no problems!
    I’ll be leaving Mercer shortly!

    I've been on the new system for about a year now. Is it better yes it is. I Paid like $550 for the unit and 45 a month. I Just want the month price to drop some. Can't see how mercer think we all want that Nav and drivewise stuff. I Already pay for pre pass each month. I already have a GPS so why would i need those 2 things that make the price go up..

    I dont care what anybody says about Mother Mercer, these new Fontaine trailers shes offering up for lease are pretty nice... I like the chain popups, never had those before. .. Dont know what these hook type things are for though in the second picture? 20190307_103144.jpg 20190307_104209.jpg 20190307_103151.jpg

    They are the nicest trailers out there to me. But then again I'm no expert. Lol. Central Oregon Truck Company has some good videos on tarping with the rope system if you're not familiar with it. Not hard to do but kind of neat seeing it done real well.
