    It's not that they can't make enough $. It's that they didn't start with enough capital to see them through the learning curve. The money is still out here. Problem is you don't learn how to make it your first week.

    I Meant that as a minimum. I should have said atleast, instead of near.

    And yep, a glider will be pushing 150k.

    I think the suspended talk was just talk spyder, like the one guy said about his class being half quality, I'm seeing them every week in Louisville getting the stickers on them. Ol Dukes is making a killing. Lol

    Not that 3-5k will be all you need but it's a start when you don't have nothing to start with lol.

    Well like I said on a previous post...I "overheard" one of the guys in charge of recruiting tell one of the girls in permits that quality is in fact suspended as of now however we are going thru the list of the guys who actually were on the waiting list an hiring them. But if I were a guy on the street an went to quality to get truck they would tell me mercer wouldn't be one of my choices because they are no longer taking quality trucks "AT THIS TIME"

    Obviously none of us know the real answer, but many hopefuls have posted that Mercer won't take them and the reason given is they are no longer accepting new applications for quality trucks. Add that to a guy I know personally that gave up his pos buy here pay here truck last year, then tried to get a quality this past fall and was told by recruiting they arent doing any more quality deals. Idk. None of us have first hand knowledge, its all hearsay.
