mercer transportation

Deff good for this time of the year. i have not seen the market slow down, yet everyone is complaining about no work??? I'm guessing most of these guys run military freight, which has fallen drastically since X-Mas, as it does every year till about mid-march

 

wow, sorry to hear that. looks like on those first 5 loads on 2969 miles and7 days. you had around 972 d/h miles. correct me if i'm wrong, but that comes out to around $1.68 per mile BEFORE fuel? wow........did i miss something seriously?

 

Mercer actually has a bumper sticker that says exactly that. They have it on their race car lol

putting it on a loadboard is not being a thief. lol

 

so I should sit and cry I have no freight? lol I'm not sorry. I avg 7.9 mpg.

 

lol....ok ok, sorry, i guess i need to rephrase then, I thought anytime you engauge in activity thats potintially going to or possibly does rip someone off.......no matter how dumb they may be and take the load? does that not add to the already out of hand problem that exist with CHEAP freight?...........

 

From a company stand point I wouldnt be mean to a customer no matter how ridiculous their request is, is the point. If a driver took the load that's his problem because he shouldn't have.
nobody gets ripped off lol. Nobody if forced to take it. lol
Now from an o/o stand point is different of course.
1.78 p/mile btw

 

I guess when the facts are stated its a negative post and further more theres no way in hell your planning your trips here at mercer well into the following week like your saying pretty hard to do here at mercer so who are trying to bullsh here and your paying drivers here to run these supposed trucks? whaat 300 a week on a 1099? come on dude you must secretly be a mercer recruter.im only callin it here as i experience it and so far in 4 months im freakin starvin and dont give me that crap about bein picky have truck will travel thats where this is at but sorry im not about to deadbead 1000 miles a week to keep loaded maybe you should by 10 more trucks and put them here since your 5 years experience is lightn the world on fire

 

What else you want to talk about? oh ya how about 10 hours of detention time from a shipper they haul for constantly that all parties involved agreed upon and that was 60 days ago and now no one can seem to give a straight answer about the money. shipper clearly wrote on bill the whole deal and here we are 60 days later and a big fat zero. maybe if they paid their bills i could pay mine. what a dissapointment. heard nothin but praise for this place granted from people who were here years ago but have yet to see it like i said just expected more.

 

i rememebr when it was hard to get on with mercer. now here lately all walks of life are welcomed in and put right to work. as long as your truck passes that ridiculous scam inspection, you are good to go.i think if a man would buy a service truck and set down there when the newbies come to lease on, he could be rich quick, lol.......funny thing is when i leasesd on last year, the main guy doing the inspection, after he found that my reflective tape wasnt high enough above my headach rack on the back of my cab and also on the drop on my step deck, he asked what kind of truck it was.......wow......

 

Ya thats were its at the parkin lot as a matter of fact the guys with the red trucks down there told me ther boss used to be leased to mercer.dont get me wrong nice people here and all sorts of free crap but that dont pay the bills ya know what i mean
