North dakota flatbed companies

My understanding with Mercer right now is that the only thing on campus open is the drivers lounge. All coordinator are working from home. Not sure about the rest of the office staff. Maybe @PoleCrusher knows more?

 

I don't go to Mercer town unless they make me, so dunno.

Maybe ask in the Mercer thread?

We got a notice saying the campus is pretty much locked down. Those that can work from home, everyone else is social distancing.

 

Not only that, but I read on the forum somewhere that all of Covenant's various companies now run under the same DOT number.

 

So I thought covenant went broke....
yes
no
maybe playing a shell game???
Sorry I guess I’m just not up to speed nothing new.

 

Celadon out of Indianapolis did.

 

There we go I knew it started with a C.

 

Britton Transport out of Grand Forks, ND has a flatbed division though that division is based out of Sioux Falls, SD. I work for them and they treat me well. They do pay mileage for company drivers but generally runs average 1000 plus miles with 3000 miles being no problem as long as you have the hours to do it. They haul a lot for Terex out of Watertown, SD which is boom lifts for lift trucks. They are preloaded by a guy that is dedicated out of Watertown so they are pretty easy to do. Britton does do owner operators as well. I know we have a few. Not positive how it works but I know they pay percentage and you don't have to use your own trailer. I am not 100% of the pay for owner operators but I think it is 72%. We do have one owner operator now that has his own trailer and I am sure his percentage is higher as a result but no idea what it is.

 

I was at the Fish Hook in Fargo over a decade ago, looking at Wylie. Talked to a group of Wylie drivers. This one guy was pulling a 6 axle rig, had been driving for 2 years and now he’s senior driver. He was in their wind fleet, and was the cream of the crop (according to him). I asked him what engine was in his truck and he told me, “It’s a SIX cylinder!”

Senior driver, alpha make of the group and he can’t tell me what engine is in his truck. I decided to pass.
