Details -- The Mercer Edge.
Mercer is 100% owner/operator. You never have to compete with company trucks for the best routes or loads.

Profitability you control
Mercer offers owner-operators a variety of commodities to haul, including aluminum and metal products, building materials, plastics, machinery, military items, cable and much more. With no forced dispatch, our owner-operators control their profitability with many choices available and ample opportunities to get through the house.

Each coordinator assists a team of about 30 trucks on a daily basis.
