    There was a guy in my class that drove out of the orientation lot and made the right turn to the inspection yard and ran out of fuel... Now that's embarrassing!

    I think we need to remember that they're not changing companies at the worst possible time of the year because things have been going well where they were.

    very humble bunch of o/o at mercer.get over yourselves.check the fmsca website 20% oos rate that means 1 of 5 mercer trucks failed roadside inspection.not everybody is experienced and fortunate as most of you guys so stop with the negative stuff and if you got nothing good to say than keep your mouth shut.

    apparently ya left mercer and went to Malone for 3 weeks and from having applied for your authority , and in a post you left there already.

    what the guy meant was repairs that are obvious , not small stuff they may find in the inspection. I have seen guys with tires with no tread at all complain when they have to put on tires or regroove them, that's what he speaks. and the ones who come in and get 5 pages of fix it written up.

    so to you I say, learn what someones means when they post, or else YOU put a lid on it.


    here you are harping about 1 in 5 failing inspection, take yer own advice.

    by the way, are you the guy who ran out of fuel? coming back to mercer?

    Segway onto a different subject, if I may...

    I have been getting this message lately on some load possibilities. I understand what it means and why it is used, except for when the load has nothing to do with California at all. Anyone else get this message or just me? I cant match myself to the load or refuse the load if it matches a preference.

    PS: sorry for the small picture, but mercer drivers know where these messages pop-up on the contractor web.

    that's embarrassing anytime that happens, but I bet somebody helped him get fuel and get it going
