Was curious to know how the whole application deal works with mercer and I would like to know how critical they were when it came to that PSP crap?....make a long story short I was one of the few that didn't take heed to that whole new deal where you have to manually update your medical card with the state. Fast forward a few months I get shut down in KY for license being suspended because I failed to update my "up to date" medical card with the state. (Had absolutely no idea my license was suspended btw)
Not to continue to go off topic but was curious to know about their screening as I have talked to the contractor relations guy an according to him all he is needing from me now are 4 pics of my truck & trailer, 2290, an LLC articles an copy of my title.
I guess what I'm beating around the bush to say is if he's needing all of that is it safe to say everything else with my application checked out ok or do they need all of my info in its entirety before they can run everything?
Mercer application still processing

Its never a waste of time if that's who you want to work with. Its part of their job and if they weren't interested, you wouldn't hear from them. For you, its worth a shot even you know full well you don't meet some certain qualification.
A little story. When I first started as an O/O I knew exactly where I wanted to lease on to, but I didn't meet their qualifications in any way, shape or form. I still called and talked to their recruiter/safety guy (small 60 truck O/O carrier). My truck was leased to them by the previous owner. I had to lease somewhere else to get experience, etc. I went through 2 carriers pretty quick and was getting screwed pretty hard by the 2nd one, but I kept the communication going with preferred company. I was on the phone one day with the recruiter/safety guy and he started asking questions about my pay per mile, short miles vs practical etc. Before the conversation was over, he wanted me to fill out another app (I'm assuming the original had been tossed). I reminded him that I didn't met their qualifications..his words "yeah, but we gotta get your ### out of that mess, you'll go broke!". That was the start of very good business relationship.
Find the company you want to work with. Do what you gotta do, but never, ever give up! Don't doubt yourself. They havs an ample supply of idiots that they would love to replace with a good worker. Every company does.rachi and jacquesi23 Thank this. -
Your probably dealing with the same fool I dealt with awhile back.
He has some nick name I can't remembered. HE is very proud of himself LOL and his name.
He put me thru the rigamaru while I was applying also...asking for a million and one things.....
And then when I would give him all he asked for he would come back and say he forgot something and ask again for sht.
I finally started quizzing him about this trailer they wanted me to buy and how their system works etc. Money, freight..etc.
He had ZERO answers. Just kept babbling about how they are a great place and Im lucky I am approved etc.
But never gave me any real information about my questions.
Finally he asked me to write a letter to his saftey dept about why I took 4 months off in the summer and didn't run my truck.
I explained to him I am a grown man and made enough in the oil fields that when I came home I did what ever I wanted and thats that.
He didn't like that and hemmed and hayyed about my answer and I finally told him he is an idiot and I am not writing some note for myself explaining myself to anyone.
LOL
He said my comments were aggressive and rude in nature and that I will not be hired LOL
I once again explained to him how I do not what to work for fools like him LOL
That was the end of that HAHA
Guys was a pure idiot! Seriously. A indian over the ph from gandi land would of better helped me then this fool.
SO....to answer your question. NO...I would not assume you are hired. I would wait till your pulling their trailer with a load you got from them and then you can say your hired...
Until then, be careful....These fools will retract their word faster then a donkey retracts his junk after he did a show in mexico on a Friday night.jacquesi23 Thanks this. -
My thing was just not having to go thru the ringer with everything only to find out they haven't even ran my application yet.
I made it very clear about my suspension yet he's still telling me I'm good an all he needs is the other documents he asked for an he was gonna send it up top for approval. So we'll see..
Won't hurt to just submit it I guess -
CJndaTruck and spyder7723 Thank this.
