mercer transportation

I've said it before, How can Mercer agents justify selling premium rates, when crap like that shows up at the customer.

Sell yourself and your equipment to a hand full of agents. It should be easy to shine like a diamond, look what your surrounded by.

 

They have had a lot of dot violations for maintenance...safety told me that.

 

Yes sir. Image says a lot. I know a guy that hauls heavy haul and he wears a button up shirt and tie every time he's going to a customer. His truck is in perfect shape as well. Customers feel good about their load being in his hands. I pull a van and I'll wear shorts on the truck but it's jeans or khakis and a nice shirt when I'm going to a customer. It's easy to set myself apart from the drivers out here today. Brokers I deal with are more than happy to give me their loads and I get the rate I want most of the time. A few of the brokers are calling me now.

 

I think I've seen that guy on YouTube.

 

Probably. There's actually 2 of them but one quit doing videos and the other quit trucking to be a cop. Lol.

 

The one I remember were a father/son team leased on to LS, believe they had a 4 axle, 53' flat.

 

It was but we basically backed out of that house. Some shady stuff with the septic system. We decided just to rent till next year and I'll just show high income. If things keep up anyway I'll be grossing over 240k this year my net us gonna be really high

 

Are you still hauling chicken or something else now? You've been rather quiet with repair chatter, guessing your truck is running good?

 

Still hauling chicken just super busy. Repairs aren't bad just apu issues right now. Gotta hit a shop for the warranty on it.

 

Yep. The son is a cop now but his dad still drives the truck.
