mercer transportation

I dont remember seeing any agents leave since my 2.5 yrs.. But then again I don't go to those areas.. They all have freight listed though.. If contractors don't haul it then it still gets brokered out and they still make money.. Don't really need a patience class if ya go to a bad area once then don't go back and if ya do then a business 101 class might be better suited..

 

thats funny because i am at ontario east right now and landstar EASILY outnumbers us ten to one in here tonight.
i had a load booked before i was empty. granted its a few days out.

strangest thing, this place is half empty. i have never seen an open parking spot here after dark before.

 

I'm headed for el paso first out of town run I have done in two months 3rd run total I'm loading in the morning not even going to look for anything coming back I'll be drinking beer at the camp Friday!!!

 

I'm with ya Wideload, I always have a load out of Cali before I hit the state line. I don't even stay at the truckstops on the bottom of the hill. I usually stay in Barstow, head in about 3am and unload, reload, and get back up the hill before noon

 

ya well i had one for wed that didnt work out so i grabbed an oversize load of ac units. origionally wss friday then they said they wanted to ship thursday but now its aparantly back to friday. oh well, what ya gonna do.

i should have ran back up to barstow its a lot cooler up there and i have no ac. but that would be two extra scale crossing i dont need to do

 

well ya aint been to barstow lately seems , like quite a few landstars stuck.


but heres the deal, if ya take your behind out that way and get stuck, YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF . here every load you take, you accepted it.

 

Question, i seen someone put either on this thread or another mercer thread that guys who stay mainly in the Northeast does pretty well.. Is that true?? if so could you somewhat explain, I live near Richmond, VA and would love to stay in an 500 mile radius from home...

 

Does Mercer haul enough steel to keep a guy busy with a covered wagon who can only scale 45500 lbs?
Seems every time I lift something heavy these days I aggravate my back so I think my tarping days are over.
I currently live in SC but am planning on moving to northern AL.

 

lots of freight in the east and pays good. you could do good sticking around the east coast.

cant comment on the covered wagon. i havent seen loads for one. there is conestoga loads i see but not a whole lot either but i am not educated enough yet to say.


just got my permits. before i booked the load i was told i would have weekend travel.in az. well i dont. i wont even.make it.out of ca untill monday now then deliver in dallas by 3pm.tuesday which wont happen.

they are trying to see if i can getbloaded today instead whichbwould be great but last i heard they didnt have the product done yet.

i wouldnt want to be the permit girl who told.me that after the fit i just pitched about it

 

Thanks, I'm trying too wait it out until Feb. or March to come over but it seems like my company won't let that happen by the way things been going lately...
