What gives?

Okay. So why would you run if you're doing it for free. If I need at least 1.15 cpm to break even why would I take a 1.12?

 

There is a big Mercer thread on here, use the search function at the top...

 

It seems that alot of drivers no matter which company they run for are complaining about cheap rates. JMO of course.

 

I think people will find reasons to complain. Rates are lower then normal but not that bad. I have to remove filters to see these loads that people gripe about. As for sitting? I rarely sit a day unless, like now, I'm taking planned time off.

 

There are a few areas with light freight. CT comes to mind. If you get in a place like that you might sit a day or two if your picky like me. Trick is to learn the lanes and not sit. Sometimes it's better to take a $2 load then a $2.50 load because of freight lanes. But people still jump on the $2.50 freight then complain because they are in a bad freight area. Lol

 

they are knuckleheads , best reason i got. they make decisions and complain i avg 2000 miles a week but i dont sit.
