mercer transportation

I delivered this morning in lake Wales FL. And went to thermo king in haines city now I am at the Love's in polk city been raining off and on today. Be we will see what happens.

 

Had this conversation with my coordinator today.

Me: "How are these loads going into deep southern FL getting moved so cheap?"

Coordinater: "Way too many guys chasing a check instead of running profitable loads."

We're talking $1.60 to $1.70 a mile, to Miami, and they were gone within minutes of hitting the board. That's just stupid to go down there for so little.

 

here's a serious question. Can i use uship and pull mercer freight at the same time lol?

 

Not if your going to post it on here. Uncle lenny trolls on here

 

Eh if i did i would post here its why im asking is if its even against the rules at mercer to do something like that lol

 

Looking at those uship rates i think its worse then mercers load board haha

 

Absolutely not permitted without Mercer's permission and that's not likely to happen. Definitely a termination offense you don't want on your 'permanent record'.

 

Oh man I don't want this on my permanent record.

 

Piece of cake.

Do you have a vacuum pump? You will need to evacuate the system, at least 30 minutes, before charging or system performance will suck. Also, it's better to verify it will at least hold a vacuum before charging the system. Won't guarantee no leaks, but if you screw up an o-ring/gasket badly, you may be able to find it before charging the system.

If you don't have a vacuum pump, change the parts yourself and find an automotive shop to evac and charge it for you. It'll usually cost less than a truck shop. Usually an auto electric shop that does ac will be most willing to accommodate this.

Btw, another reason for an apu. I can deal with the heat/cold while I'm driving, but not while I'm trying to sleep.

If you have questions, feel free to pm me with your number and a good time to call. HVAC was one of my specialties in the automotive world for 25 years. Jumped out of the pan kind of thing. lol

 

Yeah man, I'm gonna give it a shot. I got a vacuum pump, and ordered a set of manifold gauges. I've watched about 6 hrs of YouTube videos. Some recommended on Facebook that I could let it pull a vacuum for several hrs just to make sure all the moisture is gone, and wait several hours afterwards to make sure it's not leaking.
I'm gonna replace the dryer too. It was suggested to add an oz of oil for each component I change, so 2 oz. Sound right to you?
I noticed the condenser leak a few weeks ago, so I'm assuming the system is empty...
