mercer transportation

I got to the yard yesterday morning and went to the show for the first time. It was pretty cool and actually found a few useful things and got some ideas. Mercer bought lunch, a ribeye sandwich and a med drink. All in all it was a good way to spend a Saturday layover

 

Seems on par with what this guy posted on this thread he paid $4800 Bolster and king pin replacement

 

I'm getting stickers made that will read learn to park #######. Gonna put them on drivers side windows like they do when ur illegal parked!

 

I know what you mean pulled in and 2 told me that I couldn't park here or there saving for friends with big house who like to camp together, I think I was rude to them!any way don't have to worry about the next year I'll park elsewhere ,and maybe work elsewhere I have lost that warm and fuzzy feeling!

If you were at Mercertown, I would have told them to fcukoff...this ain't kiddie school, grow the heck up. WTH we're they gonna do, build a sheet fort between their trucks?

 

Did you tell them to piss off? Should have.

 

That's just about the size of it

 

But I have met some good people at the yard, several that I talk to semi-regularly, but the group of ''holier than thou" who 'live' there are quite annoying and are to be avoided at all cost... I'm sure they are the same ###hats from the Facebook group, wasn't on long enough to connect the dots.

 

Over the years I have learned not to trust a lot of places that say they can do certain work. I have seen trailers break apart, kingpins and fifth wheel risers fail, all installed by "someone" that can weld. I have zero liability if a part fails made by the trailer manufacturer and isntalled by a qualified dealer. I have no need to try to cut corners to save a few bucks. Even one of my good friends who is a certified welder (Boilermaker) and does welding in nuke plants said he wouldn't touch a job like this. I guess it is a how much responsibility and liability you are willing to be exposed to. As I see it, being able to make it, and making it right as well as accepting full liability should anything ever happen, that is two different things. I prefer to err on the side of caution. It's all in the course of routing maintenance as far as I'm concerned, like I said it was on my schedule of things to do this year.
