mercer transportation

There a plate on the great Danes near the front axle. I'll snap a pic later

 

And to get their port card you need a twic card and your pin number. You also have to pay for their card it was over 100.00 as I recall.

 

So I'm at the house fora couple days getting work on the truck done and taking a breather when I look at my summary so far at my current carrier.


I've driven near 100k miles since the 10th of Dec last year....

I'm calling Robin tomorrow.

 

I thought it was too last time they talked to me about getting one, but I'm going to get one on Thursday and they said $25. At least that's what I heard, maybe he said $125. I'll post how much it is once I pick it up. Maybe it depends on what state your license is from with some states not having the updated cards. I only mention that, because I was asked what state my license was in when they were submitting the info for my SeaLink, but they didn't ask for my DL number or anything.

 

I did it about 3 years ago my card is probably expired. I don't expect to go back there in the future. When I was there I was with two other flatbeds and a million container trucks. Talk about crazy.

 

So i stopped at 4States in Joplin to get some stuff.. While i was there i asked the price on the same seat i was getting from Freightliner.. Price was Almost $800.. now they say LOWEST PRICE GRANTEE.. So i told him Freightliner wanted 624... I asked will you match that. Was told no we can't match that sorry. I said your sign says lowest price grantee lol. I also noticed some of the items there were really pricy.. I asked how much Chassis grabbers where. he said $80 EACH not the pair. i said online you can get them $80 a pair..
I don't think ill be stopping there again lol

 

I have the twic and pin. According to my coordinator all 4 loads picking from Newark port were taken by trucks ahead of me, so I guess no worries for me now LOL..

 

Sorry, I know that's headed back to the house for you, but I liked it too much

 

Yeah, this is only the second load I've ever been dispatched on that needed a SeaLink, the first one cancelled, so I never got it. I imagine I won't use it much in the future either.

 

I

That house was sold lol. I don't deliver till Thursday in Connecticut so hopefully by then something will pop up... Hopefully that Wilmington container yard your heading to on Tuesday isn't backed up to bad, that place is a disaster lots of days. I don't miss Chicago area Container work lol
