mercer transportation

For me it's currently on page 1800

 

When I'm out on the road, I regularly load on Friday deliver on Monday on a 850 to 1200 mile run. Sure is not running through the entire weekend but it's a sills run that leaves enough room for a restart on the very rare occasion i need one. But honestly, in the flat bed world weekends are supposed to be spent at home.

 

Your posts per page setting was changed somehow. Default on here is 25/page I think. You can change it back by clicking on preferences under your profile.
Look at post #s not pages, that'll be consistent for everyone regardless of their settings.
Your post I just quoted is #17992.

 

1) yeah, what everyone else said. I'm showing 1800 pages
2) I think this answer will vary person to person. It wasn't common for me when I first came over to sit on the weekends because I ran longer runs. I agree with the previous answer, it's supposed to be spent at home. I've gotten to where I am sitting on Sunday, whether needed or not because, like Spider, I typically load 800-1200 miles on Friday for Monday. I run some one Friday, finish it on Saturday, and take the rest of the weekend off. Some people only work one week then go home, some 2 weeks, some 6 months. Some people go home for the weekend, some for a week or two, and some for 6 months. My point is, everyone runs different. We all have our lanes we prefer, some of us chase the money, and some of us chase the time off. There is no standard answer for gross, net, cpm, time off, etc because we all do our own thing. I told you before how little I work lately, you don't have to work that little, it's just what I do. I prefer to take it easy and enjoy life while I can, but I'm also very goal oriented and make sure I do what I set out to.

 

I am showing 1810 but I like planning ahead!

 

We own our own tracker and Conestago and are considering to lease on to Mercer, but after reading some of the info here I now wonder if it would be the right move. The recruiter told me that we would have very little down time due to no loads being available, but I read here that may not be the case. He also stated we could easily gross $15,000 a month. I really need to know if the info he gave me is accurate. I run hard and have 20+ years on the road with a very clean record.

 

I realize everyone runs different but it just seemed that I've read a lot on here about sitting all weekend somewhere. I myself would be looking for a long run or two short runs to do over the weekend.

I understand in the flatbed world weekends were ment be at home but that's probably not going to happen where I live if I want to make good money.

Thanks. I was just curious.

 

After looking at it more it's not that thing it's the fitting that's leaking. Trying to get the replacement for it lol

 

Running two loads over a weekend is very very rare. Very few shippers and recievers are open on the weekend.

 

Hey Pete wanna go to Milwaukee?
Hell no.
All them riots up there lol
