{"text":"Hey everyone. I'm thinking of joining Mercer this coming spring, but I'm have a difficult time figuring out what my startup costs will be. I currently haul containers and do not have any chains, straps, headache rack, tarps, or anything at all. A recruiter told me they would want 50% down payment for stuff I buy through them, which I understand could also include a headache rack. Does anyone know what I should be finacially ready for? I have priced headache racks locally for $1,500-2,000 which is a basic rack, plus the middle compartment. Add any and all equipment to haul what ever, I know i'm probably looking near $4,000 if I bought everything new on my own. Does anyone have any input on what Mercer can do to ease this outfitting process? Thanks,","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
