I am looking for someone who used to drive for Mercer. Apparently no one that currently works there has the cojones to answer a very simple question. I also tried asking their recruiting department but they were very unhelpful.
I want to see a screenshot of their search tools and layout of the load board. According to their recruiting department they do not share their load board with people who do not work for them. To clarify I do not want to use the stupid thing, I want to see exactly what it looks like to see if it has the common sense tools to make it useful.
I drove for Landstar and one of the few things I did like was there well-designed load board. Truckstop.com and dat are absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. I understand why crappy broker don't post rates, I don't understand why anyone continues to use the board or why neither require the broker to enter a rate. I am not interested in wasting hours of time calling people just to find out a price, enough time is wasted seeing if loads are actually available.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. I know you can find something for outside carriers, but it does not have as many features just like Landstar outside carrier board sucks.
I do not know if JB Hunt in house board or app are any better than the outside 360 app, but it is horrible by comparison. It does have rates clearly shown, but for all I know Mercer's is no better. On a side note anyone working for Schneider is welcome to post one as well, they are my runner-up if I cannot find a picture for Mercer
Thank you again in advance

If no one replies here you can try to contact SuperTruckerDan. He's a Mercer driver that posts a lot of videos on you tube.

On Mercers load board you cannot find loads from outside carriers. It only has Mercer agent loads listed, but those could be loads they have obtained from other brokers like CHR etc etc...
