Good rates and very professional.

I just booked an oversize load for $2.80 per mile on 750 miles and Mercer pays permits and escorts. Such easy money.
I've been in close to a year and wish I'd found these guys 20 yrs. ago.
Very honest and no forced dispatch. Literlly doesn't not try to push any loads on me. Lets me run where I want to.
They make sure we get paid within couple hours of delivery with 55% paid upfront once the freight is on the trailer.
I've been averaging around $1.90 per mile.
I haven't heard any bad from other Mercer drives that I've met out here or at the yard.
Just a great family company to lease to.

 

That is 2.80 per mile after the permits and escorts. Those are taken care of up front.

 

Yes 2.80 to the truck makes me happy. That's not exactly linehaul rate. The linehaul is close to 4 per mile but Mercer (like any other company) has to get their cut for insurance, operating authority, fuel taxes, broker fees, and such.
I just tied of hearing how bad rates are and would like to point out "what I feel as some good rates"

 

Actually I restored it and built the drom box on the back. It's been quite a project, still in the works. I tinker with it, more than I drive.

 

Approx. 18 years ago, I envied the big sleepers also.
Lot of hard work, patience, and miles. Finally got it as my retirement.
