Large Carrier Network
With access to over 30,000 carriers via our Brokerage departments, our expansive network guarantees that we have the right trailer for your entire shipment, allowing us to provide services wherever you need us to be.
Flatbed Trailers
Our fleet includes 1,300 flatbed trailers, making us one of the largest flatbed carriers in the nation. These trailers are ideal for transporting oversized or irregularly shaped items that cannot fit into enclosed trailers.
Dry Van Trailers
If you have boxed or palletized freight that needs extra protection from outdoor elements, dry van trailers are the best option. Our 850 dry vans are enclosed trailers that keep your freight dry and secure.
Step-Decks
Also known as drop-deck trailers, step-decks have a lower deck that allows for the transportation of taller items that exceed the height limits of standard flatbeds.
Reefer Trailers
Our fleet includes 20 reefer trailers equipped with temperature control units to transport perishable goods that require a controlled environment.

Our advanced tracking technology, MercerTrac, offers full shipment visibility at no extra cost. Know where your freight is at all times with real-time updates throughout the entire journey.

What Our Clients Say
Full-Truckload Freight FAQ
-
What is the difference between FTL Shipping and LTL Shipping?
FTL (Full Truckload) shipping involves using an entire truck for a single shipment, making it ideal for large shipments that fill the trailer, offering faster transit times and reduced handling risks. LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) shipping combines multiple smaller shipments from different shippers into one trailer, which is cost-effective but involves longer transit times and more handling. The choice between full truckload shipping and less-than-truckload shipping depends on shipment size, cost considerations, and delivery speed requirements.
