marine driver1, the base plate deal is not a problem here. you may have search more on what ooida told you. you may not understand what i posted, mercer pays the fuel tax , you dont have to file the taxes, not one penny is deducted from you, you can actually buy where its cheapest and not worry about buying enough in each state. AND IF YOU DO END UP WITH A CREDIT , THEY APPLY THE CREDIT TO YOUR TAG. tell me how many people would be on the hook for the taxes, then turn around and give th surplus back to the drivers???
someone who is straight up, thats who. if you already have a tag, you can run it til it expires then they want you to run theirs.
they dont force you to run their tag, its what they ask if you lease to them.
apprently you have never been leased to someone who treats their drivers decently. i did 200 g on 104,000 last year. it hard for some to grasp but there are companies to lease to who are ok, mercer is one of them. if you let what some advice someone told you about a tag stop you leasing there, its your loss.
by the way, since you are just buying your truck , have you ever had to pay fuel tax? -

yep, and you also do a sitdown with your coordinator, meet and talk over lunch 2d day of orientation. as said you will meet your recruiter and everyone else face to face. you are also allowed free roam of the whole complex, able to talk to anyone you choose , during the lease on process.
and oscar the kw, you put it as best as it could ever be put.sly1 Thanks this. -
