    Have you read the mercer threads?

    Things are little slow here at mercer right now but probably slow throughout flatbeding

    Personally I think there is a few to many steps vs flats at Mercer but I'm sure it's hard to control.

    There is also Landstar and Southern Pride to consider.

    Why you thinking Mercer. Don't misunderstand, I'm at Mercer now and happy here.

    About a year ago a Mercer recruiter told me "about 1.68 for all miles" was what I could expect from them. You really need to call & talk to them. Hopefully you get a better recruiter than I did. The Mercer guys on this forum seem satisfied & seem to be pretyy savvy truckers, but all that kool-aid might be affecting them.

    Where abouts in Nor Cal? I'm up in pot growers heaven.

    I shock to hear 1.67 + fuel surcharge. Especially staying in the 11 western states.

    Why are you leaving where your at?

    I thought the 1.68 he quoted me included FSC. 1.67 + .54 = 2.21. For all miles, I'd sign right up for that. Kick it on Mercer Row with a big glass of blue kool-aid in my hand & a smile on my face.

    I head a Mercer ad on Road Dog last week, it sounds like they want CARB compliant trucks pretty bad right now.
