mercer transportation

Part of the problem I dont have 30 grand to rebuild everything. This truck been a money pit with it being 25 grand 2 years ago for maintenance. 15 grand last year and dam near 10 to 15 grand already this year lol

 

Contracting is a dog . Married to the truck . Get a line job with insurance and steady pay . A phone call is the cost of breakdowns and you get paid to wait on wrenches. No sleepless nights or putting off maintenance till your next good week . Listen to your wife . I was in the game since 2004. My first rig was a 2001 Corn Binder. Last one was a 2012 lone mountain Cascadia . The DEF issues ate up fifteen grand in three weeks and I left it in Barstow after a 1300 dollar tow out of the desert . Sent my driver back to Kentucky in a rental car . Thanksgiving of last year. The feast and famine game gets old . Maintenance , rate slides . Plus I’m sure your pretty wife misses you home . Mine sure did . And I’m not old nor bitter . Been at it since I was 21 .

 

Can i lease a truck on here with the title in someone else name?

 

Really wasnt trying to get on here and #####, just point out that new trucks have probs too but ya get to make a big payment while dealing with em.

Guess thats what happens when i type on a thumb keyboard and only get half thought out.

 

If you let DEF issues eat 15k of your money in a matter of weeks you don't need to be in business lol just saying..I got a 13 and it only took me losing 4k in def issues to know what had to go and what had to stay lol

 

Maybe mercer will finance a repair bill for me haha

 

Is that your standard reply ? I ran trucks for 13 years . Raised a family on them . Turning my own wrenches as I was a heavy equipment mechanic in the Army . I also had rolled lobes in the top end of the motor leaking exhaust into the filter . Had it in six shops with all the brand dealers . They never figured it out . Could never get it into Cummins and every shop missed the diagnosis. Didn’t feel a need to go into more than a generic detail with you , Hand. Personally I just made the choice not to do it anymore . By the By I was answering to the other driver and some of the emotion I felt I read in his posts .. dreams can be heartbreaking . I was just putting my two cents in for that driver . I’m sure he’ll figure it out . Roll on , Ace

 

If it's just a broke ring, you could get buy on just a cylinder kit. $30k sounds like a Cat Platinum cost. Obviously, if you could afford the head and rod/mains but if not that's an option.

 

from what i've been told by doing just that ur more then likely to be redoing the work in under 3 months

 

Yep, all ya need is power of attorney letter
