    Now that you’ve been at Mercer for a bit do you personally prefer Mercer or Landstar

      @@hustleman7452 so it’s 6 in one hand half dozen in the other. Now that I’m learning the Mercer system I think I’ll be able to run less and make the same as at Landstar. It feels more relaxed at Mercer. I feel like there’s more of a target on your back and you can’t get away with as much at LS. I’m not a big fan of the first empty first out system at Mercer, but I’m learning to make it work. Mercer is more of a 2-3 loads a week where LS is more of a 3-5 loads a week operation. I haven’t dealt with what I felt like was a shady agent at Mercer, but at LS there’s a lot. Not all, but enough to say a lot. Of course I miss the volume of freight that LS has. I’ll probably stay at Mercer for the foreseeable future just because I don’t think going somewhere else will make things better. I just have to run my business more efficiently and effectively.

    Don't you miss out on loads by not using a coordinator when you're busy driving 🤔

      @@chuckyf-u2395 that’s the risk. I’m in a small Mercer fb group and we look out for each other. So if I’m not driving and I see a load that might work for one of the guys in the group I’ll call them and vice versa. When I had a coordinator it didn’t seem to do me much good. I like being able to set my own preferences so I can make better informed decisions.

      ​@daammitboy who cares what the wear in there feet. 99% of white people wear there wife's thongs and watch them get long stroked. So flip flops should be the last thing anyone should be worried about.
