    Does Mercer charge detention, if so how long do you wait before detention begins.

    It depends because we get paid after every trip once we scan.

    well i jumped onm a dedicated at mercer here what i get , 1.79 per mile to the truck 3 picks one drop one pick back and stat all over again .toltal miles is 1089 x 1.76 = 1920. twice one week is 3840 fuel is 3.25 a gal i get 7.5 so its 1.76 - .43 = 1.33 to the truck after fuel no dead head . in line for home also so i get 2 days home one week 3 days next. Not getting rich but am profitable.
    I did make some bad choices on loads from mercer before this out 5 weeks no money made, break downs, setting looking for right loads , So until i heal my wallet this is where i stay for now.

    That fuel base number of 3.25 wont work Russell. Fuel fluctuates too often too much. We get us a good discount still but my fuel avg is 3.65.
    There are places that it costs down to 3.20 and others that won't even get you a discount.
    My fuel avg in my truck is calculated at 6.5 mpg. If I run more, great, if not then I still adjust to that 6.5
