    you are a completely lost, that was before when I had my authority flip flop. I also never had to factor, there was no need ,

    you also need to get your facts straight if I leased to landstar I would get 73 per renting a trailer from them or owning a trailer, that shoots down another 2 per cent,

    but since you know everything, what I get for my 25 per cent is mercer pays the liability ins, even to haul hazmat, they furnish cargo insurance, I have a nationwide network of agents finding freight for me to pick from off their loadboard, I also get paid on average within 4 hours of delivering a load at no charge ( no factoring fees) my annual dot inspection is paid for, my drug testing is covered by them, they also keep track of all the logs etc, I receive a bonus now of 1000 bucks toward my tag cost of 1700 a year, and they pay all ifta costs, they don't deduct it from me and pay it, they actually pay it. not bad deal.

    now tell me out of that 25 per cent you get ( this is now 3 times ) how much do you have after paying liability, cargo, drug consortium fees, ifta, broker fees, expense for keeping up and filing logs, driver qualification files, factoring fees and on and on ???????
    answer that question but you don't seem to know, you seem to think you keep it all. your replies about percentages and what mercer does and what landstar does proves you don't really know your rectum from a hole in the ground.

    now when you can answer that, the conversation will continue, remember this once again. I was doing this before you could wipe your own butt.

    by the way I read your story on how you got started, funniest crap I have ever read, lol

    Its not my fault that you failed at being independent and now you're stuck paying actually 25%.

    You keep saying I'm not comprehending what you wrote but all I'm doing is giving you a basic example if you have more trucks that it's not worth it which is my opinion. Your opinion of driving and not dealing with paper work, is fine by me, cause that's your opinion. Did I say anything BAD about Mercer? No.

    Whats really funny is that you are clearly upset over paying 25% because you couldn't be a successful carrier and don't like my opinion you go look at my posts or threads to try to make jokes. But then again, I understand. Someone who couldn't wipe their own butt got you mad cause you still can't wipe your butt. 25% should be your nick name buddy.

    I can't believe you even asked that question. Stay always! Mercer never pays you. You better look at one of the Megas where you know you will get paid on Tuesday.

    Sorry I know it was rude of me but people sometimes get to me and this one did.

    Sounds like the F2F guy. But I don't think he drives still, he might. Either way I have to agree that there is little Understanding on his part about what Mercer does provide us. Heck I'm still new here, so to say, and I know what it's worth.

    Not sure what the stock market had to do with anything. I've been an active investor since I was in the first gulf war. Oh with that lets though out that I'm a retired vet or I've done this or that.... Not sure what that means.

    But like I said before, this argument isn't worth it. We have a good deal here at Mercer, he believes he provides a good deal for his drivers. IDK maybe he needs drivers maybe he doesn't. Either way he isn't going to effect my bottom line nor my time at Mercer.

    Lol, you still haven't answered the question I have asked what 4 times now, how much of the 25 per cent do you actually keep?????? And as far as failing as a carrier, you are a bit off. I simply wanted to cut back after 30 years in the biz, i took a year and one son a house, bought a road tractor, and leased on so I could take off when I want, without paying insurance, so again. How much of that 25 per cent do you keep?
