    Yeah, we were thinking of this for my husband, but now, I'm not so sure. We live just outside of the DFW area, so how's the freight going in and out? I'm just trying to figure out how much this trailer repositioning fee would affect us IF we were to keep this as an option. Thanks! :)

    ETA: The cameras...not so sure my husband would go for that, either, lol.

    Mercer would be my top pick. You can do either van or flat.

    Can you pick your own freight with Mercer?

    Good thing is I do not see where we will have to continue the employee mandated training such as quarterly and annual.

    Also nothing in there about not using handsfree

    You can pick you own or a coordinator will line you up with loads. If they don't have something you like, jump on the load board and find your own. Another plus about Mercer... you don't have to pay fuel tax.

    I live in Texas myself and honestly, for me anyway, I would have to pay the $250, or spend half if not all day looking for an empty. I live between San Antonio and Houston...100 miles either way. I'm gone...I'm not playing that game.
     
    centralmi Thanks this.

    Sounds like lots of fun going on at SNI right now =\, Sad it was such a good program the way it was setup. Company looks to have gotten greedy and wants more $$
