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
@Smooth_Operator_83 5 ай бұрын
Thank you that means a lot to me
@Smooth_Operator_83 5 ай бұрын
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.

Well I'm coming on board next week after MATS. Is it good at this time with a SFI truck bout 1239 week payment
@Smooth_Operator_83 4 ай бұрын
@@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.

Do I need my own truck before coming or they have a leasing program?
@Smooth_Operator_83 5 ай бұрын
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.

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
@Smooth_Operator_83 4 ай бұрын
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.

Why aren’t you doing some of their Dedicated Customer loads? like TRANE is it hard to get on a dedicated? 🤔🤔
@Smooth_Operator_83 2 ай бұрын
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.
@mbway3760 2 ай бұрын
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..

Ok here's a question what is your cost of operation per mile
@Smooth_Operator_83 5 ай бұрын
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.

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

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

Is it a good owner operator company to go to with a SFI truck weekly payment?
@Smooth_Operator_83 Ай бұрын
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.
