    If you have your own rig, the question comes to "what kind of loads do you want to haul?" Flatbed, reefer, dry van, tanker, RGN... The type of trailer dictates the company to contract with. If you know what you want to haul, send me a note with the type of trailer and I can give you a few companies to check out. I live in the mid-west also.

    Im in Dubuque, IA. Power only at the moment but willing to buy a dryvan. I'm looking for a home this time. GreatWide Truck Management was saying all the right things. Are you all saying don't buy in?
    More info/contact person at Mercer?

    Mercer is a great carrier for flatbed. Don't really know much about the dry van side.

    I know some drivers that have been with Cardinal Logistics/Greatwide for over 10 years, so they must be happy there.

    Also look at :

    Paramount Freight Systems

    That number is like boobs on a boar, without the miles it took to generate that revenue along with the deductions and other BS.
    OP, dump the dry van and get into something more profitable.
