It's hard to explain to people how things work here. But think about this. If you are happy with a load you picked up from Mercer in the past. It was a load we all said no to already. If you haven't, you should read our main thread.

I was happy with it based upon the area.
The last load I did for them was coming out of Florida an it paid 1.90 going over to Texas. Twic load. Most of the land star loads I've pulled have averaged around 2.00-2.60 a mile. just no consistency though. But yea I kinda figured the public board rates were chopped up 2-3 times before it got down to the driver. -
LOL. Not sure that's a good theory. But I did just buy this..
jacquesi23 Thanks this. -
That was suppose to be with the above. Lol
-
See what I mean lol

Bah. its an aero truck. Might as well buy an old worn out Columbia with different colored doors. i would be ashamed to park that in the same lot as all the stretched out 379s we got here.
CJndaTruck Thanks this. -
I had a 07 379 an although it would pull the pavement off the ground if need be, the fuel was killing me. Plus some of these receivers an shipper points make almost impossible to get in an out of with the limited turning radius on the Pete.
I bought a 12 cascadia about 6 moths ago an sold my Pete. Major power difference lol...however I've never seen a truck I can throw 50 gallons in an it seems like it rides for days an squeezes every mpg out of those 50 gallons. -
I was just messing with cj. I'm driving an old worn out Columbia myself. Doesn't matter what truck a guy has. The freight pays the exact same no matter if it's a five hundred dollar throw away 1973 white cab over or a 2016 w900.jacquesi23 Thanks this.

Now if I ever get to the status of "working because I want to" an not "working because I have to" then an only then will I go out an buy another 70k Pete.
I admit they are very comfortable an you can't beat the ride!...but it's not a very practical truck for a guy who's trying to minimize as much overhead as he can.
After the shop told me it was gonna be close to 28k to put a new engine in my Pete I told them to put the old motor back together the best they could an I sold the hell out of it! -
Twenty eight grand? Wtf. You can get a crate engine for that. Complete!
jacquesi23 Thanks this.
