mercer transportation

But I work cheap now that I know my worth. My friend's son talked to pitt- Ohio about a job turning wrenches. And him if he had his cdl. $24.50 with a cdl $23.50 without it. Finally, i know my worth,...a dollar an hour.

 

Take it away boss. Put the wing back on and go get.

 

Already got one strapped down on the Benson n rollin. You asked. Analyze the situation. It's your money... I can't help the rates. That's the best I see there. You guys all get wrapped up in your dollar per mile. You gotta figure dollar per hour also and balance it out. I got $1.22 coming out of Cali to Charlotte and got to Cali Friday. Maybe I should of waited another week and got $1.29. I'm not bawlin, I knew what I was in for when I took the load to Cali. It's cheap n your gonna wait this time of year, that's all there is to it. Mr G at the bank doesn't care about my dollar per mile. He cares did I have enough for him this month.

 

True enough. If you gotta pay the bank you gotta roll, been there and done it.

 

That's really cheap out of California. I also don't wait to get to CA to book a load either. Proper planning, knowing the lanes and the agents plays a great deal in pulling van here.

 

@kjoseph call NEW if you are sitting in NC. They usually have some really good loads around there. If you like Utah & Nevada, they will hook you up!!!

 

I look at the board at every opportunity going out. When you're 51 on the board it's hard to book ahead unless you got something going with an agent somewhere. At twenty something on the board Monday, this load only made to me because of the rate. There's still nothing out there. I know there are trucks that were ahead of me thinking they should have taken this after it was gone. I've done it myself before, a day or so still there you kick yourself. Dang, I should've took that Charlotte, I could be unloaded tomorrow and I'm still sittin here spending money. Crap, now the truck won't start. Stupid ##### refrigerator...Happened yesterday.

 

Looks pretty tough over there, right now with a flat, what think about that mn. Load. Seems busy up there. Then grab a Lancaster, they always seen to be running, course I live in pa so I'd stop at home for a bit n go on. That'll give me about $13k for January. After fuel n Mercer expenses I'd wash out with about 97-98 hundy. I'm OK with that.

 

I cant tell u what to do but sometimes have to take #### to get to a better place....sitting and waiting on a good load you not making any money.....I don't sit unless in on hometime....when i ran that northeast yes it took me to some dead spots but I made do....I don't know how flatbed work...i ran reefer and dry van...I made the most out of it....

 

@TaylorMade407 are you flowing Pete yet I am considering taking his advice and heading to the house dropped in catoosa and don't even see a cheap load out
