mercer transportation

Pm your cell and ill be happy to text you a screen shot of the loads. Or continue to claim its made up and refuse to be willing to shown that your made up preconclusions are false.

 

Florida is rough. With time you will learn when the good out bound loads get posted and be able to position yourself to take advantage of them.

Jacksonville isn't to bad tho, its a short hop up to ft stewart or savannah and you can always get a decent load there.

 

You know better than that. Even if they wanted to our IT is so incompetent they couldn't hope to pull that off.

 

Okay now let's look at the truth about all those loads.

Milwaukee to KY, all in rate $1.40/mi, 8' tarps and 2 drops.

Peru to White Plains, not on the board at this time.

Franklin Park to IA, all in rate of $1.68/mi and IA is virtually dead for flats, at least for Mercer.

Crystal Lake to MO, stepdeck load so it's out, but would still be an all in rate of $1.60/mi with 8' tarps.

All Bentonville loads are 4 drops, so 2 full days to run the load. $600/ day is not good money.

IN and MI to NC, actually just one load with chicago doing their normal thing, posting the same load over and over with different cities for some strange reason. Actually Elkhart to Charlotte, all in rate $1.30/mi, 6 foot tarps and 41,600 lbs down through the hills. And Charlotte was dead last week when I was there.

Peru to Newark, all in rate of $2.53/mi, before tolls, 8' tarps and it's an elevator load so it's going to be a good bit of work on tarps. Oh wait, load time is 8 - 10, can't get there in time.

Yep, so many great options there.

 

Peru to White Plains is on the board as of this time
Milwaukee to Kentucky all In rate of $1.96 from where I’m sitting
Franklin park to Iowa $2.92 a mile all In from where I’m sitting
Crystal Lake to Missouri $2.23 a mile all in from where I’m sitting and yes I have a step deck
Peru to Newark New Jersey $2.64 a mile from where I’m sitting and what tolls are you referring to?

Maybe you should position yourself a little bit better to get better paying freight and stead of saying there’s not any freight that pays anything

 

That's true. Lol. I was giving the IT department too much credit. Lol

 

There is no load from Peru to White Plains on the board.

If you're going to go around the tolls in IL, the IN Turnpike, and the OH Turnpike, you need to calculate the mileage, and extra time into the rate.

Now, you're solution is to "reposition" to a better area? How about we not sugarcoat what you're saying?
Deadhead to a different location, lose a day of revenue while burning fuel, and hope that maybe there will be a load to make it worth it? Which even if there was, we know the chances of getting it would be slim. Never mind that I'm dropping in a location that should not be a problem finding good freight close by.

 

I dont run the indiana/ohio toll road unless I have to.... which is extremely rare. I dont really lose time through there either, maybe an hour, but I doubt it's that much all things considered, and it's a 23 mile difference.

 

I took a week off at home to have my truck fixed and bounce from their 221 miles down to North Prairie Wisconsin. Picked up a load going to Sodus point New York for $2.93 a mile 14,254 pounds
Then I bounce 95 miles from there to Buffalo to pick up at Load going to Jackson Michigan for $2.67 a mile 13,875 pounds
bounce from there 165 miles to Elyria Ohio to pick up a load going to Astoria New York for $3.15 a mile 8800 pounds
Bounce from there 204 miles to Carlyle to pick up a load going to Saint Paul for $2.16 a mile 26,000 pounds
Bounced from there 95 miles to pick up a load in Lake Crystal going down to Tishamingo Mississippi $1.68 a mile 17,000 pounds
Bounce from there 13 miles up to Iuka Mississippi going to Libertyville Illinois for $2.08 a mile 31,488 pounds
I’ll bounce from here Monday morning 54 miles to Genoa city Wisconsin to pick up a load going to Brookfield Connecticut for $2.21 a mile at 28,000 pounds

I have 4708 loaded miles, 847 deadhead miles(which is 17%) and $12,147 in gross revenue.

Maybe you’re just doing something wrong

 

I also do not see a Peru to White Plains
