Mercer Transportation reviews

I am writing this review so that other unsuspecting O/Os don't get fooled. I apologize to my family because Mercer nearly cost me everything. Mercer is filled with cheap loads, dishonest coordinators, lots of deadheading and sitting for days at a time and favoritism. For those of you who own your truck and are not leasing to own a truck through Quality at Mercer, you are last to receive loads and if you get a load here and there, they pay practically nothing, certainly not enough to cover fuel and expenses or support your family. Quality trucks get all the favortism and are first in line. Last week, 37 O/Os resigned, and their used trailers are in the lot sitting. Knowing the truth, I too have now resigned. I constantly found myself pleading for loads, only to be told that there were none and I would have to sit AGAIN. Whatever you do, boycott Mercer and don't be a victim. There are plenty of other companies, and right now, you, the O/O are in demand due to a shortage in drivers. Know your worth!

not real big spenders on the salary side of things - they are fair to the people here but you won't get showered with BIG money. I do have to say they do a good job of creating a great environment to work to make up some ground for it.
