    good luck with that. it can be done but it isnt. besides its called double brokering. if they do get a load from a broker your loosing the broker fees plus mercers cut. you wont find loads that pay well enough for vans to make the end amount be more then mercers loads

    you can use transflow or tripak on your laptop or in trk stops but for the mobile phone app it is tripak only. i traid it a half dozen.times and never could get a good enough image but my tablet is old, the camera may not be good enough. others said it works for them

    That was easy to set up. I was told Mercer has a scanner, but doesn't include a printer. Looks like I'll need a printer just in case I need to print out my logs.

    I believe if you are using the Elipse log program you have to print them every day and sign them to stay compliant?

    Only a electronic signature is needed, but I would like to print them if I need to (just in case).

    u have to print them every day regaurdless of how you sign them.

    just go buy the $45 printer scanner copier at walmart. works great. that one they sell dont work.worth a crap. i watched a guy last weekend at the yard spend two days trying to hook.it up to work. it will scan but you have to save it all in documents and then move it all over to tripak or transflo. the one at walmart you can just scan it right into the program

    My feelings are the same about the scanner. They should just offer a printer/scanner.

    they used to sell one that worked but the new one doesnt.

    and its.way more expensive then one from walmart. plus then you can print your os permits or scan.anything you have to send in.

    I've got the Brother MFC-J265W from Walmart and using my Verizon MIFI as a router I can print wireless from both my computer and iPhone in the truck. There is a smartphone app for this printer/scanner.

    I'm hoping not to have any issues getting a printer/scanner to connect with my netbook that uses my Galaxy SII as the internet connection.

    No. Nothing could go wrong :biggrin_25526:
