mercer transportation

Yep! We still have adventures together and plenty of fun.

 

Yeah, was with them for 9 1/2 years. Sold the RGN in 2015 and bought a step. Got tired of running the spot market...good money, but it wore on ya. Came here, not needing money, everything is paid for, just looking for a slower pace and more guaranteed customer freight. Found the not a lot of money part...LOL, but also got my slower pace i wanted.

 

You ain't lying!!!!

 

Dang. Dont read this thread for awhile and come back to it being even worse. Sorry i looked.

 

So does anyone have an average RPM for all miles ran. Loaded and DH and typical fuel discount
All miles of what a 53’ conestoga trailer could make?
Live SW FL
Run 2-3 weeks out. 1-2 weeks off
Run pretty much anywhere

Curious if Mercer 75% is better or worse than another companies xx%

 

Stupid question but trying to figure this out.. on the Slack adjuster i have one rod that sticks out further then the others. Correct me if im wrong but doesn't that mean that brake is out of adjustment?

 

Slack adjusters have rods?

Are you sure you aren't taking about the rod that comes out the brake can and is attached to the adjuster with a Clevis pin?

If so yes it can man your brake is out of adjustment, but it can also mean that the can was changed and the "mechanic" didn't cut the rod to the right length.

Dude just adjust your brakes and that will answer your question.

 

Yes that's what I'm talk about. I have adjusted them. Was driving and that axle smoked up a storm. Thinking bad slack adjuster

 

You adjusted them too tight.

 

It did this before I adjusted them. This was the reason I adjusted em but now it seems like its hanging up a little. I backed it off a half turn
