    The alien is no longer with Mercer. Something to do with the fact that there is no freight.... Or is it the fact that all the freight is cheap? Or is it a combination of both?

    It all depends on what the original poster wants to know? What is he going to pull? How cheap is he willing to pull for? How often he wants to be home? How often does he want to sit in a truck stop? How far is he willing to deadhead?

    Here are a couple threads you should read.

    Is Mercer a good company? I'd say yes. But I am always looking at other companies.

    Am I making money? Barely.

    Do I get home regularily? Every few months I slide by the house when the freight allows me to.

    Mercer keeps leasing trucks on. But they don't have adequate freight to keep the trucks moving. The more they lease on, the more they get their cheap freight moved.
