mercer transportation

I got TONU on 2

 

Did mercers weekend emergency number change? The one i got just rings and rings and rings. Didnt even go to voicemail.

 

Not that I know of. But I have heard of this happening couple weeks ago too.. Think when the phones went down lol

 

After 12 noon, it rolls over to an answering service who contacts the on call person , who returns your call. A couple of times the answering service drops the ball

 

Not to open a can of worms, but I was surprised when I called on a weekend and that happened to me. I didn't have an emergency so I just chuckled and waited until Monday. It was just a log issue with JJ Keller. After I thought about it I thought wow cool they give everybody the weekend off!

 

I've never used an emergency # always speed dial my coordinator and it forwards the call

 

Ahhh.... The joys of having my tarp I just rolled out over my 6 foot load blow off just as I climb down off it... It was a Friday I hope to never have again... I think I set a record for the amount of times I said Mother Fer yesterday, that's for sure...

 

When it's windy take 4 binders and 4 bungee cords up with you. As you spread the tarp out hook a binder to the corners. The weight will keep the wind from getting under the tarp and lifting it up.

 

when It blew off did you roll it back up before putting it back on the load or did you drag it up? I have had that happen a couple times it's a pain to drag the tarp over the load in the wind. A trick I do is get the leading windward side down first and secure it with a bungee to the rub rail. most of the time the wind will blow the hanging portion of the tarp under the trailer which helps reducing wind getting under the tarp.

 

Yep, that's what I do after hours
