    Anyone know what the cash price is on the tolls going up 95 from Maryland into Connecticut? haven't ran that route in nearly a decade.

    When Mercer books a load from another carrier or broker they take a cut. The other carrier or broker has already took a cut. By the time it gets to us two people have already got a cut. If Mercer agents would go out and get more of their own freight we would get more to us. Mercer has put on more than 900 trucks since I leased on in May of last year. If you are going to add trucks you have to add freight.

    You can go a few different ways to save some toll money, it will be a few extra miles, but worth it! If you go 95 the whole way, I would have at least $250 to be safe!!
    If you're southwest of Baltimore it's 80 miles extra going I83, I81, I84, & only $12.50 to cross into CT.
