I thought Common started driving trucks! 🤣🤣🤣 Good content though, bro! Stay safe out there man!
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
Guy said make 4500 a week staying out 4 weeks at a time lol hey to each their own
Great job🎉
@@truckchefro4534 thanks
My new idea locations in other states expanded
5k a week lol man I just left them cause I was lucky to get half that doing dry van
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
Do I need my own truck before coming or they have a leasing program?
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.
Why aren’t you doing some of their Dedicated Customer loads? like TRANE is it hard to get on a dedicated? 🤔🤔
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..
Keep up the good work!! What’s the average rate per mile for flat bed as of rn? I’m located in Jersey and was thinking about joining Mercer. Thanks
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.
Ok here's a question what is your cost of operation per mile
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.
Why did you stop with FedEx?
I became an owner operator.
Is what you see on the load board what you get before or after Mercer gets their cut?
@@noso4609 what you see on the load board is what you get after Mercer has already taken their cut.
Advice want start b owner operator
What would you like to know?
Ive ĺooked into coming mercer but everything I see about the company on you either old on bad reviews
I think like most things it’s what you make of it.
why are you making a film while driving?
@@wesleymills2641 time management
No company trucks there?
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
Nope
Lol
Do you have to get your truck through a bank load to work there? There is no lease programs there correct ?
No lease programs here. A bank loan or pay cash for a truck. I know some guys here with sfi leases.
How much does it cost to run your truck per day?
@@calvinspiff4348 my cost per mile break even ( including paying myself) hovers right around $1.50 a mile. So 600 miles x 1.50 $900.
@Smooth_Operator_83 what year, make, model, and spec truck do you drive?
@@calvinspiff4348 2007 freightliner col Detroit 60 series 14 liter
@@Smooth_Operator_83 that's the exact truck I want
@@calvinspiff4348 get a crated engine and not a rebuild
Hey this is Reese coming to Mercer, great info would like more info
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.
75% out of 98% ? Where is the other 2% ?
@@vicpetrishak7705 insurance
75% of 98%? Where did the other 2% go?
From my understanding it’s a part of the insurance coverage. Also Mercer pays your IFTA.
1000 every other day for fuel
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
Thanks bro good information when I used to run under Landstar I ran myself the same way..
Awesome where are you now?
What's the hiring proccess at Mercer bro?
@@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)
Is it a good owner operator company to go to with a SFI truck weekly payment?
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 currently in the process of signing on with them. Bringing my own flatbed trailer. Hows the orientation? What do i actually need to drive my truck from texas to ky? Just plates and insurance right
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.
