mercer transportation

I had a not so great year. I did too much sitting, but most years you stay busy. I like standby because if the weather sucks I don't have to take the run.

If you have a package ya gotta go no matter the weather.

Also you have to be able to pull pups. 5th wheel has to be cack far enough to clear. Jason can tell you the clearance needed.

 

I wish ppl would stop doing the mass reply on the email mercer sent out for drivers going into Canada....

 

Looks like I'll be coming over to Mercer the beginning of the month (van). Updating my physical tomorrow and working to finalize on a truck. They need those two things and I'll be scheduled for orientation.

Based out of GA between Macon and ATL.

 

I thought you was pulling a reefer for sunco out of lakeland.

 

There's some good money in van right now. Not as good as flat, but good for van freight.

 

Not me. You're thinking of someone else. And I think he retired.

 

Or went broke running that juice at 90 cpm. I kid you not back when i was running produce sunco called me trying to get me to take a loaf of there's out of Tropicana to portland oregon paying 90 cents per mile. And this was in the height of strawberry season when i was getting over 3k to Chicago area. Freaking hysterical.

 

And a lot of those Tropicana loads require light fuel...wtf were they thinking?

 

To be fair that juice had always been stupid cheap. Some guys will always be willing to pull it to cover fuel going back to ga or north Carolina.

 

I went back and looked it up. They guy you are thinking of is "LMB". Last I heard he left Sunco for a local gig then retired. Haven't heard anything from him lately.
