mercer transportation

i knew i was in for some work. the tir rod got me by surprise though. my inspection was past due at my last co. i just kept putting them off because i knew i was in for some work. now i need an alignment

 

At least they can't fail your inspection for the alignment.. Now you can get to making the money....

 

you still with Besl?

 

Yes sir. Still doing pretty good to...

 

Hey, i know you made the change from dry van. Did you already have the equipment for FB? Also, did you purchase a trl or you going to lease one through Mercer?

 

i have been fortunate enough to have good friends. i had been running around the last two months picking up bits and pieces of fb equipment from different people. i was able to come up with an enclose rack, ten 3/8" chains, ten ratchet binders, four regular binders, two lumber tarps, belting and coil racks and i have about $600 Invested in all. i had 13 straps but when i got here i looked them.over and found 7 to be unacceptable sp i bought ten more, bought some corner protectors, bungies and timbers for another $340 or so

 

if you come here with nothing and have to buy it all from them you are looking at around $3200 from the company store. you can pay half and have the rest taken out of settlements weekly. i didnt want to start off in the hole


and i got a trl from mercer. with my credit it would cost more monthly for me to.buy one

 

Did you get a flat or stepdeck?
Mercer also has a used department for boxes and headache racks which they sell for the drivers. Also check the bullitin board in the drivers lounge.

 

ya they have three big vault type rack used. someone bought one.

i got a new step. they only had one used, had 39 payments left. it had two big holes in the deck floor that had been welded up and.i didnt like the looks of the repair

 

i am still a little light on equipment. i dont have a smaoke tarp or any smaller tarps. i would really actually like to trade these. 8' drops for a few 16x24's or sell these. i dont have any 2" straps but i do have two 4" hand ratches and enough straps for all my winches and hand ratchets at the same time. i didnt buy any of my oversize stuff to save some money since i figure i wont be hauling any right away with this being my first fb gig
