    Should be and "is" are two different realities unfortunately, especially truck show weekend.

    If you are going for orientation, there should be a phone number in your info for security. Call them. They should be aware of the parking situation.

    No biggie. I assumed since you asked in a mercer vs landstar thread that you were just beginning at Mercer.

    Skipped the MATs. I dont have any time to stomach the back slapping and chest pounding from some of these leeching carriers and self righteous attention gobblers at these shows.

    Wanna do something fun? The class 8 truck races start next month! So much #### fun and a great driver get together!! I am going to a few races this year.

    Don't go to Mercer if you like Dryvan because they are far stretched loads and Don't go to Landstar if you like a 6 inch thick rule book and Ex-Landstar employees watching your every move... so what do you do???
    Go get your own authority and run for both of them!!
