mercer transportation

I'm afraid you will be proven wrong. They post all the time out here. They don't last long and I could never find one in the middle of the night. But I know one that got nabbed from LA to (uhg out east don't remember where tbh) at over 3 for a van. Last time we all had this argument I showed 3 loads paying over 3 to Dudlie I believe. Heck the 2 vans on the load I'm on are getting almost 3 on 1350 miles.

 

Lol it's the middle of the night and there are like 20 van loads at 2.92 that meet your 300 mile statement right now. And we know those are the scraps.

 

I'm sorry they are at $3.10. So I'll take that bet sir. End of argument.

 

Well I will absolutely stand corrected CJ. In a year on a van I never saw anything like that and I would plan weeks of work at a time. So as that is the case I could never get remotely close to anything like that. That said, the flat has shown me big revenue, big net, and extremely low miles deadhead and loaded which has been great.

 

Touché. I cede the point. With my defeat I will also say that if those are prevelant, and like I said I could never do that in a year pulling a van, and it may be because I'm of a lower IQ than some, guys would not be abandoning vans as quick as they can unhook them or as quick as they can get a flat. Like I said, the flat has changed my entire outlook in the last 3 months.

 

No worries. Flat is the place to be. But I see those rates all the time and I know people that are getting them and really being able to name their own price out here. It use to ruffle my feathers when people said there are no good van rates here. No I usually just ignore it as I worry more about flats.

 

Joesph we know your no dummy. LOL. I think the biggest problem on both the van and flat side is NOBODY is taught how to use the board. I get that this is suppose to be "big boy truckin" but a one hour class would probable allow many more to succeed here. But then again I guess it would make it harder for me to do so well LOL

 

I was always wrong place wrong time with my van. Lol. I'll sell you a nice van CJ. You could do both.

 

LOL. Don't tempt me.

 

Well @CJndaTruck took the lead on that one. Just woke up. The only reason those loads are easy 2 get is guys like me hold board position out here. So I'm always #1 when I empty out. Trust me @kjoseph it doesn't happen everytime I'm out here. I just took advantage of this opportunity for holiday freight.
