[@frfrpr]

People don't know the power of a good slideshow. This was outstanding!

[@jdtrucks5936]

Thanks. I'm pleased that you enjoyed this! I will try to do some more of them.

[@sodapop8408]

Enjoyed watching all the places you’ve been I’ve been in your shoes started driving in September of 1986 retired 3 weeks ago 34 years behind the wheel good luck in your travels glad to see young American men in the business keep making these videos love watching them while I am finally enjoying some time at home keep the shiny side up 10-4

[@RRtweful]

Good slide show. I think Super Trucker Dan would be impressed!

[@jdtrucks5936]

LOL...Thanks...I hope he would but I'm just learning

[@jerrycoggin9434]

Awsome Large Car!

[@Second.Nature.Lawn.Michigan]

Crazy how much damage a blown tire can do. Hope you got her fixed up!

[@jdtrucks5936]

No Not yet but hopefully soon! Too many projects!

[@Ranaldo20]

[@charlesreidjr851]

[@martingreen5613]

[@andrehall1067]

Very nice video.

[@jdtrucks5936]

Thanks, I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

[@joebutler1289]

I’m curious do you wait on loads for a long period of time or does Mercer Dispatch have ya preplan?

[@jdtrucks5936]

Sorry for the Late reply but, yeah I pre-plan my own loads most of the time or I let the Coordinator do it for me

[@shaunbailey8964]

Question what's your average mpg on that w900

[@jdtrucks5936]

Well if I soft pedal it, I'll get 6.5 to 7 but, If I romp on it I'll get 5.5 MPG

[@geezer652]

I'm assuming by your handle that you have a 5x4 or 4x4 or some such in that beautiful Kate ?

[@rags-fv6ko]

Love the video

[@danielvrana9444]

New here. You run the same as Super Trucker Dan? He’s great!!!

[@jdtrucks5936]

Yes I do

[@dondaughtry6385]

Great video

[@martinhowe3679]

really good video love your rig very smart looking outfit shame about the idiot in ca but it happens hopefully we will see more of you stay safe out there

[@teetto]

Insane that you’re an owner op and tarp so much. Do you just like tarping or are a lot of the loads have to be done?

[@jopete681]

Brian Mitchell I tarps steel everyday for years and I own 2 trucks if the money is there and it’s a way to stay in shape!

[@mbekka1]

How much they pay if you have your own trailer ? I cant find that in their site

[@jdtrucks5936]

If you are talking about Mercer, It's the same rate. Google Mercertown or try Mercertown.com

[@elijahrobinson2362]

1) how much damage to the truck from that car? 2) running eastern seaboard would drive me nuts. I need space and long runs. Congestion and short hauls is NOT for me.

[@charlesboller5402]

You live in Durham??

[@johnnyfair]

Beautiful set up you have! More please. You get the crash damage repaired yet??

[@jdtrucks5936]

Thanks...No, I'm still looking for a shop to do the detailed work on it.

[@supertrucker1356]

I need to know if it's stupid to leave Walmart to come to Mercer

[@jdtrucks5936]

Well... that's kind of hard for me to answer because I don't know your situation and what you are trying to accomplish but, I can tell you this, Mercer is a Good Company to Contract with on the Flatbed side. I don't know about the Van side of their Operation!

[@supertrucker1356]

@@jdtrucks5936 I just thought it was weird for one of your logistic guys to ask me why do i want to leave Walmart when i visited your place. I have the cash to do it, but to take the risk i need to know some real net numbers if you hustle. Im interested in the flatbed side.

[@jdtrucks5936]

It just depends on how hard you work, I averaged about 2.75 a Mile (Loaded) and ran nearly 40,000 (Loaded) miles in 6 months

[@supertrucker1356]

@@jdtrucks5936 Can you tell me what is a good gross total if i hustle the midwest market with you guys? Flatbed

[@jdtrucks5936]

about 2.25 a mile and you should get all of the miles that you want.

[@MrBigR928]

What year is your W9?

[@jdtrucks5936]

2005

[@MrBigR928]

2 Stick JD 👍

[@parktownslim]

Man show me the money so you made a whole video basically highlighting good of a flatbedder you are

[@jdtrucks5936]

Lol...Thanks, I try my best to be my best!

[@Inb4theban]

Its all east coast

[@jdtrucks5936]

Yeah, it doesn't pay for me to run out west with them, too much deadheading and I like to get back to the house often

[@kennethadcox7976]

To much tarping

[@jdtrucks5936]

I Love to tarp
