Mercer or Landstar, yes this again...

I know there are some people at OOIDA that I cant stand. There are some good people there. But they are a good resource. Its like anything else lol.
All I am suggesting is for people to get all the solid information they can and make an informed decision

Basically I am hoping the poster wont listen to truck stop BS lol

 

Most of the bigger companies frown upon ooida. At least they did when I was pulling for myself.

 

Non trucking liability insurance isn't a big mystery, I have had it for the past 25 years. What's being given here is sold advice. Not truckstop BS. When you had something for 25 years, you pre tty well got a handle on it

 

What the heck. Compared to you I'm like a spring chicken. How in the heck do you only have a couple more years experience in me? You may of spent the first twenty years of your adult life in the service.

 

thats just the time i had bobtail, i started driving in 79, bought my first truck in 89 , i aint but 58

 

So, what you are saying is, 50 ain't too old to go FB. *Passing that little nugget along.*

 

No its not

 

Jerry will be 78 this year. And unless something has happened since i last saw him he is still pulling that drop deck behind his kw.

 

Not at all.

 

I have my own authority n make a decent living. I have seriously been considering leasing on with mercer bc of all the perks n the bc it's MERCER. however I'm hesitant bc I have put alot of work in trying to build my company. Is it possible to grow my business n add more trucks r is it more for just a single O/O operation. I also run a father son team n understand that I will probably have to run alot super solo runs. Are the rates n money really that much better with mercer. This is a big decision n would like honest n straight forward answers.
