    What about the length laws, aren't the big bunk trucks over length with 53 ft trailers? Or do states not enforce the length laws.

    Whats with the Mercer vans in the west? I've been seeing them fairly regular recently along 40. The last two times I was in Montpelier, ID there was a mercer van dropped at the Ranch Hand.

    Just couple states enforce length laws and you can get a yearly permit for that.
    But with a 48' trailer you can be up to 105' long is how I get away with it.

    Got a quick question. I want to come over to Mercer, but I don't have the securement equipment or a APU, is that something I can purchase through them and they take settlement deduction? I know the APU isn't a requirment, just wondering if that's something they will help out with

    I use ratchets, I don't have any snap binders. It's much easier with these

    I'm opposite. I have 8 snaps and two ratchet. Snap are quick and easy for me since that's what I was trained on when pulling flats
