    I know this was written in 2012 but it got me to thinking.
    How are rates now compared to then?
    I checked ups and thier rates are currently 1.08/ mile

    How dose this transfer to mercer?
    Are mercer rates way down from 2012

    Just make sure your not comparing apples to oranges. The 1.08 may not include FSC.

    The ups rates are anywhere from a buck 70 to just over 2. Depends on the contract for each individual run.
