MY EXPERIENCE AS A Mercer FLATBED DRIVER

Not sure if they have updated there website since we went to tripak mobile. But they pay as soon as they recieve the signed paperwork. I have scanned paperwork minutes from being unloaded and have been payed within 2 hours.

 

Interesting reading about Mercer. Do you know anyone that drives a van for them? I know they don't have near the number of vans that they do flatbeds, but that they do have them, just wondering if the experience is similar.

 

Hey guys was just wondering if Mercer requires you to have your own trailer. Do they lease trailers? And do they do teams?

 

No.. Yes and yes....

 

What days of the week do they do orientation in Louisville is it a Monday or more like a Wednesday etc ..

Im approved just gotta tell them when im ready

 

The lease trailers are they 9 or 10ft spreads ?

What are the normal weekly deductions mercer takes out of your settlements per load or weekly

 

Monday and Wednesday.

 

10' on 48' flats. When you scan your paperwork there is a $1.75 fee to load money on your fuel card. When you use your card to buy fuel there are no other charges. Your insurance, should you choose to run Mercer's, will be deducted off each load. How they figure that is by the day. So for example if your insurance costs $300 for truck and trailer for a month that is $10 a day. Any paperwork scanned in is .12 per page. Not sure how they deduct lease payments on trailers as I have always had my own trailer.

 

What do those Calvert City KY loads avg to the truck ?

So they pay on Comdata correct ? They credit for fuel discounts on settlements

Settlements : mailed out or email

Freight availability - good / bad how's the winter flow

Avg gross per week ? Just rough avg

 

My age is my biggest roadblock.

Mercer and a lot of the great companies require 25 years or older. Mercer says they can make an exception for 23 or 24 year olds but I'm assuming its an insurance thing.
