    I'm interested in more info on the success or failures of any driver with knowledge of this company. I know there is a Mercer thread and I have read through it but I'm interested in current opinions. Thanks

    I believe most of the threads are "current opinions ".

    I haven't heard too much good on quality high payments+balloon for 5-7 years... Crazy. I may be wrong but before i am where im at now i looked into it and couldn't believe the payments, I've heard good about mercer but I'd much rather save up and buy cash then lease it over there

    from what I've seen, those ballon payments are on 2015 or newer trucks, I am personally interested in a T660 or cascadia, 2012 or 2011 with 3/400000 miles. Thats still a 1600 dollar a month payment plus what Mercer charges you and you have to lease a trailer at 560 a month for new combo or a little less than that for a used trailer if one is available. I just can't see where you can make alot of profit with those expenses hence thats why I'm asking someone that has done it.

    There is no balloon payment with Quality anymore. They are all $1 buyout, no matter the year. New trucks, 2016, are for 7 years instead of 5 years on the payments, though, and $660 a week. So about $240k in all.
