    I've never done saddle loads. But it's 1 drop.

    One pick? Often you have to hit 3-6 dealers picking those up. I have had one good load with them and three awful ones. Money always looks good but I won't pull them again.

    Guess I haven't been paying attention when did they
    Guess I haven't been paying attention when did they start requiring flat experience and how does pulling a van 6 months for them get you qualified don't get me wrong I love it here @ mercer but that sounds more like forcing people into pulling van to cover there xxx then trying to raise the standards

    The theory is it gives them time to know your are dependable and got a brain before they risk our reputation with our bread and butter customers.

    And while it wasn't admitted to, when i asked if this was a result of the failed quality experiment...i got a round about answer that it played a role in the decision.

    Spyder beat me but yes. I've picked up at dealers, trucking companies, a salvage yard just about anywhere.

    Do you call your coordinator or the phone number for the agent listed? Can we call the agent and ask questions? Is this frowned upon, don't wanna ruffle any feathers or step on any toes :)
