mercer transportation

Well today i miss Mercer buying tires 2moro and not looking forward to it. Only doing 4 Drives as i don't get a discount for the tires im buying Lol

 

I'm a little confused with the CBD thing.on the board, can someone give me the 5cent answer please,TY

 

Agent has to call the customer before they can dispatch the load, to verify it is still available.

CBD = Call Before Dispatch

 

ok, so if yes, the load is still open? and no means it's not.

 

It can be for various reason...

They may just want to give you details about the load verbally so there is no confusion and everything gets ironed out over the phone.


And NO just because it doesn't say CBD has nothing to do with load availability.

LOTS of loads do not say CBD and they are good loads....

 

All them miles you burning the rubber off them things

 

Loves has Yokohama drives for $398 each if you buy all 8. It's only a little more if you only buy 4. Not a bad walk in price. I think they're only about $45 cheaper at national account pricing.

 

I heard Mike Beckett the other week say that mixing tire depths of over a few 32nd's on front and rear axles can cause damage to your differentials.... make sense, as they would be turning at slightly different speeds.

 

That's what Chad told me when I bought 4 new drives. He said to put all 4 on the same side of the truck. That didn't make sense to me but they're smarter than I am.

 

He addressed that also, said if you were to do that put the new tires on the right side since the crown of the road would compensate but long term it could cause damage to the spider gears on the axles ends since they also would be turning at different speeds.
