Where is everyone #5

Not all aerodynes are the same either. There is a model year break on m....sometime between 1995 and 1998 where KW did away with the partition wall behind the seats.

 

That looks like the same bridge the famous SWIFT driver did the U-ie to avoid only Swiftie came at the bridge from this side

 

The tri axle glider I posed a bit back ran across the scales at 29078lbs with half tanks and no chains/binders or gear. 5930kg on steer, 7260kg on drives.

Worked on a 1988 4mg b block today. Spent half an hour trying to find a diagnostic plug to get my laptop plugged in, dunno how they make these things run with no #### wires.
Had to blow a quarter inch of dust off all the tooling. Oil leak behind fuel pump, fuel in oil and tick in the top end.

 

Beer still in hand.

Only way 1.50 a mile would remotely be worth it in my book is if I'm not footing the fuel bill. But even then that still doesnt seem right. I average 5.5 mpg. So to go 1000 miles I'm spending 500 in fuel roughly. At 1.50 a mile making 1500 bucks not paying for the fuel still isnt much considering the other things youd have to pay for. For that cheap of a rate theres got to be more to it than that.

 

Big yellow tonka truck for sure...

 

Looking at their website more they talk about fuel discounts so fuel definitely isnt paid either. They do talk about a fuel surcharge that is added to it but it doesnt say what it is just that it's based off national average so I'm guessing its 1.55/mile plus itd have to be around .50 a mile maybe on the fuel surcharge? I'm just guessing of course but thatd bring you to 2.05 a mile which still isnt great.

 

Don't know, if it ain't on Mercer's board I don't see it.

 

Would you have to pay a % back to the company too, or would that $2.05 be yours to keep..?

 

According to a 12 year old forum post at the time they paid .385 a mile in fuel surcharges so I guess .50 a mile isnt that far off of a guess.

No clue what the rate was back then but guessing at 1.55 a mile plus a .385 a mile fuel surcharge youd be at 1.935 a mile so 1000 miles is 1935 bucks. That doesnt seem bad. Is that bad for a 1000 mile run?

 

Oh I see.......Yeah usually when I get up to the Cities,The only thing halfway decent I get directly is outta Ratner in Roseville...... I usually Frown upon going up there though.
