Thanks ealybird1104. I totally would not do NE either. Hate it there. I don't mind NW. don't love the SW but that is our runs right now. Fortunately the loads are usually outside of LA like riverside, palm spring, Boron... works for me!
Weather not usually this bad if you stay on the west side of the Cascade. This year has been a little rough. Usually it is mostly rain. hence why we run Cali - Oregon - WA I5 corridor Had to cross the passes a couple times, got stranded for days in Wyoming. Utah and Idaho take great care of their road but it was nasty and a little scary at times.
Yes. Usually the Portland area. Lots of runs from LA basin to there. Loads going over the hill to tri cities also. Most here don't like to run I5. But there is a ton of freight and once the agents know you will run it they will keep you busy. I use to live in Index WA as a kid. Just up 2 from goldbar.
haha, I am just a few miles from Index. So you know the area and I know your area. Don't mind I5. so this is good to know. When you say the "Agents" you mean the MERCER agents?
Thank you Guys! I appreciate all the answers. we are looking to move possibly this year to Mercer. We are doing OK where we are, however we can never get out of I5 corridor. We asked but they don't deliver. There are a few small thing such as we were overcharged insurance $100 month for a whole year. As brand new owners it would have been nice if the company had looked out for us a little better. (they provided the insurance and we paid) I did the research this year and switched insurance. getting more insurance for lower cost from the exact same insurance agency they get it from...like $100 less a month. It seems not too many cares for their drivers. I hear MERCER does!
Why do you think they don't run the west coast? I'll give you two clues, It's not the weather or the terrain.
