    Nothing is given to you here. You can lease a standard trailer and buy all your equipment. Nothing is given to you but a hat.

    Mercer owns no trailers. You get one from them, you are on a lease purchase plan.

    ya i understand, we dont have good time in VAN loads too :(
    tri axle ? its just i was thinking if i will get new SD for payments its not to big of a diffrents $200-$300 more and get 17.5 wheels tri axle im sure i would be able to get more loads then regular step deck?

    tell you the true i basically dont know anything about Step decks/ flat bads that why i want to collect more info before i get in to it, like if its worth it to pay extra $1-2k for 17.5 wheels ? tri axle or spread axle ?

    please let me know

    U may as well get a RGN an keep your dot numbers if you're thinking of buying a tri axle step. Trust me you'd make more money own your own then here with a trailer setup like that.
     
    PGALLC Thanks this.

    And vice president prick endorses it. A guy has to be willing to make the effort to help himself.

    You just reminded me of something I saw a few years ago. I was traveling up us 287 . Colorado I think. It was winter. I was passing a truck stop and at that point forward, I followed a double black streak leading from the truckstop on the right side of the lane. Obviously, someone pulled out with some frozen brakes.
    I followed these black marks for SEVEN MILES! !!!!!!!
    And what did I find at the end of these skid marks (they got much less black near the end ) ?????????
    A Werner truck with a trailer leaning to the right with four flat tires on the right !!!!!!!!!
    Yes, this is a true story! I couldn't make this s up.

    I watched someone circle the parking lot at Jubitz in Portland until they did the same thing. Multiple people tried to get their attention, but it took that bomb going off to wake them up.
