mercer transportation

Just saying I'm not 27 yet. I'm an dick n ##### when ppl screw my day up though lol

 

I'm pretty sure even though I've read this whole #### thing I've got the wanna be syndrome I've seen so much through this thread but I understand it now. Us new people come on here and the few who read enough don't have many questions because they've all been answered by you guys. Still we're excited and energetic like the kid at Disney world with the prospect of being a happy o/o and want to interact with the celebrities so we can't stop talking.. lol.. yeah i read flightline's retired but nothing else and sorry but he was a great contributor to the first part of this before he got fed up with the idiots sooo I still give him lots of appreciation. I hope that you just mean he's happily retired and just doesn't feel like dealing with blowhards on TTR anymore. I'll try and be quiet now so more people can learn from this informative thread. Thanks.

 

Flightline is still trucking, he just decided to try somewhere else for awhile.

 

Good deal. Thanks man good to hear i was really paying attention to some of the stuff he was doing to his truck except for taking the stacks off cause that's a travesty.. lol.. then sounded like things got rough for a bit. Happy to hear he's doin well wish him the best. Thanks for the update.

 

Well I can't be quiet because I do have some questions I'm thinking of and a couple of them are because this thread covers so much time things change. I'm calling back Monday to recruiting so I'll get their answers too.

1. Very subjective I know but info. is always helpful. Everyone runs different long, short, time of year, personal preference, etc. How many miles rough guess you run in an average year? I think skate said 120,000 a couple times is that a good average base?
2. Settlements and payments. I know ELD choice, trailer payment depending if or what you lease is variable. What else would be a variable choice for them to be paid(not including elections like maintenance fund or something). Also fixed costs bobtail(like $30 month), what's physical damage currently I thought it was set per 100k covered, know I'm forgetting something.

 

Ya but i was born a grouchy old man so i got a head start.

 

He had a big falling out with mercer. And they were in the wrong. I wouldn't be here if the same thing happened to me. He went to landstar and then proceeded to roll his truck over leaving a shipper. Not sure if he fixed it or sold it and bought another, or sold it and left trucking. I haven't talked to him in a while so out of the loop.

 

#### I thought I was the only person crazy enough to be up this late. You still got a Columbia @spyder7723?

 

Nope. Traded it off to a buddy for his classic xl.

 

#### that's not what I wanted to hear but it happens I guess.
