    I was just wondering if skateboardman and i made it to the top two. Figured we were the two biggest pricks in this thread.

    Well I wasn't going to call anyone out. I will say that the two biggest pricks also had some great info if you could read between the lines. And I will say, if the shoe fits.......

    90% still seems high

    A lot of small companies pay that. But also charge for the liability and cargo insurance. Plus trailer charges if they provide one. And an additional hundred dollar or so"administration"fee. Full charge backs for ifta, ny hut, kyu, etc etc.

    Edit to add: basically the companies paying high percentage like 85 or more are charging for all the things that Mercer pays for out of their 25%. This is what skateboardman and i mean when we say we really aren't giving up 25%

    So... I had to make a choice sit all weekend for something for monday that only paid about $400 more. OR take something thats cheap i mean im still making money but not what i like xD. So i took the cheap load might have this guy near indianapolis to get my COOLER Welded closed & get the ECM a little better tuned by him:p Haven't decided but i can not beat $300.. for the cooler:p

    I didn't have the cooler welded.
    Its easier to have the banjo pipe that's in front of the cooler taken off and welded.

    Or if the cooler is coming of I used frost plugs and put it back on . ahem ahem it keeps the beer colder if you know what I mean;);):D

    Today I was disappointed in an agent. My cord was on line with me as we was trying to get directions. She seemed like she had no clue what was going on. Didn't even have the pu number. My cord got tired of it and said thanks bye. Then they add another pu on me at last minute which is fine and dandy but $30? Come on lol.

    Absolutely correct. They'll be glad to give you a couple spare cards you can call in and activate if you lose or break one. And if you want to copy the transaction statement on the old card you MUST do it before the new one is activated or you'll never get access to it again. Easiest way I find is to regularly download the statement from 01 Jan to current date and save the PDF file. That way at most you'll only lose the most recent transactions.
