Yes they charge detention and the rates on the load board is what the load pays .
kimbosa Thanks this. -
thanks again for all the info, could you send me a PM on about what your making after fuel over there at mercer, that would tell me a lot.
-
It depends because we get paid after every trip once we scan.
kimbosa Thanks this. -
ok i see, just trying to see what a dry van guy could make over there, im thinking about 2700 to 3500 weekly after fuel. is that in the ballpark?

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
