No problem.

It did clear up quite well Sir, after about the first 45 seconds. It is truly scary that your expected to run for $1.18 per mile as an owner op. It is an ugly world for sure. I am pulling for you and hope you can get onto the Dedicated freight zone you spoke of in the early videos. How much the world has changed.. Please stay safe out there. Thank you for sharing your world with us. Then I just saw @1.07 per mile WOW.

Would u recommend Mercer?

are thes for flatbed or dryvans or general?

The first half of the video is flatbed rates, the second half is Van

Can you do a look at a deadhead of 100 miles or less with the rate set at 3.00 per mile for flatbed see what pops up in Maryland or Pennsylvania

I live in that area, if I do 100 mile radius nothing will pop up. Most freight in that area comes out of North Jersey or sometimes Baltimore and if your already in that area deadhead miles aren’t a big factor

What is your average deadhead in area like Ohio & Indiana what are the rates if you wanna do 500 mile hopesq

Is this after the 75/25 cut or before?

The first column says 974.79. Is this line haul or all in.. does this rate include fuel surcharge. If so then I need to subtract that from this rate.. can you tell me please

The rate you see includes the fuel surcharge. Mercer had already taken their cut out, so what you see is what you get.

Can you make some decent money at Mercer on dry van

@Againsttheworldlogistics

9 ай бұрын

To be honest I don’t know, from the rates I see no, but I hear some drivers say they make ok money so I’m not sure

300 mile radius for pick up ? Unless it pays really good who’d like to drive almost have a day for a load . No wonder you see rate less than $2 and that’s b4 Mercer cut ??

The load board video pay to the truck nothing is over 2bucks. Then the deadhead is average 200 + miles even in Illinois for flatbed that's terrible. 300 miles for 600 that's worse then cheap I'm not saying you but they need to do better. And let owner operator run off secondary load boards peace
