Listed below are some tips to help you through your initial loading experience with Mercer. 1) Be sure on the questionnaire (page 4 in this setup packet) to establish a pay code. This will help expedite the process of taking an advance and settlement, along with providing extra security. The sooner this is completed, the smoother things will go from this point forward regarding your pay. If you do not establish a Pay Code, you will not be able to get an advance or discuss your pay. 2) When calling for an advance, please have your Mercer Trip Number available. We will issue an advance once the driver is loaded. We require the Trip Number, basic information from the BOL, and your pay code. We will issue an advance up to 40% of the revenue, limited to a $600.00 per day maximum. Advances will be issued 24-hours a day, Monday through Friday and from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. EST on Saturday (excluding holidays). 3) We encourage you to avoid using a factoring company when working with Mercer. We have two Quick Pay options that range from no cost to a nominal fee* per settlement plus check fees. Either option will pay within four hours after receiving all of the required paperwork (Mon.-Fri. 8:00am - 3:30 pm EST). Mercer promises payment within five business days of receipt. Please do not allow someone to take 2-5% of your revenue when hauling a Mercer load. If your company is contractually obligated to use a factoring company, the factoring company must supply Mercer with a notice of assignment letter. 4) To post your truck or check available freight, call (800) 643-1262. When calling, please have your office phone number available. We use it to enter your truck and check for loads. If you feel that you want more personalized service, we offer our Preferred Carrier Program. We assign someone to deal with you directly, post your trucks and look for freight. This person would be a single point of contact for you to deal with on a daily basis, or as often as you choose. There is no charge for this service.
