mercer transportation

If I can't afford to drive empty when and where I please, I already have a business/profit problem.

 

I by passed my Eddie Gertrude Randy thing in the petro Ts sitting up at Clearwater mn. It's prolly one of the nicest ts I have been too. Pub inside, lounge across the street had a meat raffle last night for the Lyons club. I haven't seen one of those in ten plus years.

 

It isn't a question of affordability. Its how I operate and have enabled myself to afford to. Do what I wish. It may be something I do if I need to. But I won't make a habit of it. I married a gal whose dad was an owner up, its her normal.

 

I've dead headed back to east coast from the west coast before.
broker wanted me to sit two weeks for some loads coming out of Cali that were paying 1.48 a mile. Pffft!!
I came out better dead heading home an making up for it the following week.

 

Well, I'm in Louisville, gonna be here for a couple of days if anyone is around. Getting my windshield replaced tomorrow and waiting on my battery box cover/fairing piece to come in at KW (supposed to be here this afternoon, we'll see). Then gotta get my inspection done.

 

How big of a tire discount do we get?

 

From what I was told maybe 100-200 bucks per tire.

 

An that's not cost that's 100-200 off original price.

 

Discount varies with tire manufacturer, there's no set figure.The discount is through National Account unless Mercer has a deal with the particular dealer.
Call the main number, ask for "MPAC please". To speed things along, have your tire make, model and size.
I.E., "Michelin XDN 2 275/80R22.5" or whatever you're thinking about.
May I caution you, if you have any casing trade ins the processing through National Accounts can get very convoluted. I suggest cutting the casing deal with the tire shop one on one.

I reserve the right to be totally wrong on all of this but it worked this way last year.

 

XZA3 steers we get a great discount on, was quoted $770 by a shop, national has them for about $470. But yeah, call MPACT
