mercer transportation

anyone else notice that you got to log off the load bored to refresh the Available Loads?....

 

It appears to be working normally on my end

 

Yup, only when I use my PC though, and I reported it to IT months ago! I'm sure it'll be fixed any day now! You also might notice that at times the CW hangs up and does nothing on a mobile device!

 

I'm on "Home Time Off" in my usual area and my phone rings about 4pm last night. It's a Mercer number like my buddy has been calling me from ( sarcasm ) I'm thinking lord have mercy here we go Its a different guy tells me "I got a load you might be interested in paying yada yada going X amount of Miles, 2 Humvees weight 13k... I tell him I'll take it... LOL. 5 minutes later coordinator calls telling me im dispatched and he's got a small hop, skip, and jump high dollar reload on the back end did I want to try and get it? Yes sir... That put the icing on the cake... Now I bet that guy didnt have a "long list" of drivers to call with a BS story... When you pay a liveable wage it's not needed... That load of Humvees said "NO Stepdecks allowed" in the Notes because shipper was "under construction" so maybe that's why I got lucky... Works for me... I loaded them Humvees first thing this AM, came back right back home... 10 years of driving for me and that has been the fastest load I've picked up... 2 Humvees and 2 guys loading them...Wish they was all that quick. Seems to me the better paying loads always go quick and painless. The cheaper they get the bigger the headache LOL Shaping up 2 be my best money week at Mercer on the least amount of miles...

 

See, it's not all bad over here. You just have to find your niche

 

So one of the calls that irritate you paid off?

 

Put your winch bar on end of rstchet

 

No. Calling me continously with "my customer is desperate to get the all in $1.43 load moved" is irritating... All 5 times that I've heard that same sales pitch.... I've already elaborated on this several times...

 

I put a breaker bar on end and that didn't do the trick...

 

To get the good ones you have to bypass some bad ones. That's all I am saying. 1 out of six ain't bad.
