mercer transportation

The best advice I ever received here at Mercer is to take a step back and enjoy myself. It's not always about staying loaded, pulling a load under a dollar is crazy. Sitting for the day isn't a bad idea to see what else pops up. But, if you wanna drag a box across the country and aren't willing to be patient, it will be extremely difficult.

Im sure I read this, but I'm gunna ask anyways. Do you have your Passport & TWIC? Also, I hope you have never been arrested? You would be surprised how strict some of the requirements are to pull a load.

Let your coordinator run you until you learn the system. Once you get a feel for it, do your thing. You will make mistakes, you will sit for a few days at a time. It's called learning the system.

Most of all don't stress out. You have expectations of Mercer already. This is unlike any company you have EVER been with. Whatever you think you know about freight lanes pulling van....it doesn't apply here. We are in our own little world of trucking, we are a flatbed company!!! I seriously can't stress that enough.

 

It doesn't matter where your at on the board when your pre booking. Like @Truckin_Texas91411 said when you pre plan as soon as you're dispatched then you increase your odds on getting a load even when your 51st in line on the board.

 

Nah I'm headed to MS to grab a load.

 

Hey guys well I'm moving ahead got my 2290 paid for got my truck inspected...just finished eld class also did drug test....is there anything else I can do before Monday??

@earlybird1104 At least you are making some progress now. Good Luck

 

Batesville, I'll pickup round 20:00 to load and tarp. If your up and around its your call, anything but Mexican or Chinese food. lol

 

Blah, you will be about 80 miles from me, and past my bedtime by the time you get loaded and tarred. I'm getting OLD.
