HOW MUCH CAN YOU MAKE AT MERCER TRANSPORTATION IN A WEEK? | $8,000? 

@@truckchefro4534 thanks

Lmao that’s funny I’ll take common though over the Lavar Ball someone told me on the court one day

@@Smooth_Operator_83 Nah you should have squared up with them! LOL those are fighting words! They tried to age you disrespectfully! 🤣🤣🤣

@@FonzoTheTrucker I know right then asked me if I can do a hook shot lmao

Awesome where are you now?

So mercer is pretty slow right now?, did you make 2500 before the mercer 75% cut or after the cut. I hate how alot of youtubers use the before the cut number, that number is worthless. Would like to know net after fuel. Im starting to think California banning lease operators to be a good thing because alot of companies just scam these drivers. Going a week making less than minimum wage is not ok.

@user-bo1kt4ut8s yeah my best week I made 3 grand at mercer and that's net but most weeks it was like 1500 net, so yeah if you leasing on to a company I'd go to landstar, they got freight versatility and their own in house brokers, times hard now at landstar you can go flat bed or step deck or haul hazmat or whatever and the pays way better just don't break the sitting duck rule that's why my ass was a mercer

Thank you that means a lot to me

For flat bed it’s about $2.40-$2.50 a mile nationwide. I pull dryvan through so not sure what it is on the Mercer boards.

Absolutely anything you would like to know in particular?

Well I'm coming on board next week after MATS. Is it good at this time with a SFI truck bout 1239 week payment

@@tazzeman211 is that including maintenance fund, home time fund etc? There are guys here I know of with SFI trucks. They seem to be doing fine. Dry van? Try to gross $5,000-$6,000 a week you’ll be fine. Fork lift loads Indiana, ky, sc. Cabinets doors out of tn, pa, Alabama, ac units out of tx. Max deadhead radius to 999. Don’t be afraid to dh if the load is paying good per mile and per day rate.

Yes you do need your own truck before coming. They do not have a leasing program. If you wanted to try the system out first you could drive for a fleet owner within Mercer to learn first. I would suggest that first especially if you’ve never been an owner operator before.

They have contracted freight but it’s not enough to keep you busy all the time. I’ve been working on creating my own dedicated lane, but it’s hard for me to connect the dots.

O ok .. I was considering signing on with them I spoke with a recruiter regarding dedicated customer freight and she said they have it but it might be a waiting list..

Last year my CPM was $1.44. Currently it’s $1.88 Due to $8,300 in repairs and parts last month. I try to stay Under $1.50 a mile and that’s including paying myself a driver salary.

I became an owner operator.

@@wesleymills2641 time management

What would you like to know?

@@victormontoya422 very simple. Give them a call or online. They will have you in orientation the following week after background and work history checks of course. Orientation is in Louisville Ky. Once you pass your inspection there and have all your permits you should be on the road by Thursday or Friday. ( orientation starts on Mondays)

From my understanding it’s a part of the insurance coverage. Also Mercer pays your IFTA.

I think like most things it’s what you make of it.

They should email you with your insurance options for getting to orientation. Orientation is simple. After the first day you’ll pretty much be on your own to complete the process.

No company trucks 100% Owner Operator you have some small fleet owners that will put drivers in their trucks but no trucks are owned by Mercer if you were interested in coming to Mercer that wanted to come and drive someone else’s truck first until you learn the system you could call Mercerapply and let them know that you’re trying to go for a fleet owner

@@Smooth_Operator_83 thanks for the info

@@Smooth_Operator_83 what's the minimum loads per week

@@btaylor8849 no problem

@@btaylor8849 depends on your fleet owner. I do 1-4 most weeks

If you know how to operate your business absolutely. You can book your own loads here or have a coordinator at Mercer do it for you. I can tell you I know 3 guys that are in the top 10 earners at Mercer and 2 of them have SFI leases.

@@Smooth_Operator_83 ok ima go with them then preciate

Also they drug test is hair test or urine test?

@@tiffanyligon8152 urine. Use me as a referral truck 22774

@@Smooth_Operator_83 ok I got you

im trying see why he not speakn of how much fuel he spending?

@@larkinwiththess1348Because he’s lying inflating his numbers 😂😂😂😂

@@larkinwiththess1348why does it matter. What he spends on fuel has nothing to do with what someone else would spend on fuel 🤯

​@@KingExit36fuel is the number one matter in trucking. 😮

Unless you’re team driving there’s no way

Lol

No lease programs here. A bank loan or pay cash for a truck. I know some guys here with sfi leases.
