    Shouldn't be an issue staying on the IRT lot if you are there for a tank wash. Bensalem terminal also washes other company tanks. ADM are always in there and I have seen GTS in there also. Never Oakley or Bynum though. Winter Haven has big signs adverting the tank wash so many different companies use it.

    I can't think of anyone saying anything about another company staying on our lots if you have business being there. Now if dryvans and flatbeds start showing up where it is obvious they aren't there as a tank wash customer then they will rightfully be shown the exit.

    I don't know firsthand, so many bad reviews and negative stories about them that I figure there isn't smoke without a fire.

    That little checkbox labelled "will pair SB" is how you activate split sleeper and it has saved my butt more times than I can count. Go off duty 2 hours or more, check the split sleeper option and it paused your 14hr clock until you start driving again.

    Even if I am only off duty 1:45 or 1:50 etc I will stay put until it reaches a full 2 hours that way I have the option to use split sleep later that day if needed.

    I agree with Redtwin. You can sleep at our Cordele terminal since your company is a wash customer, and I’m assuming you’re still getting washed. There is usually a Bynum truck there every time I pass through. I’ll call in and take responsibility for telling you that you could if there’s an issue.
     
    nextgentrucker Thanks this.

    More than likely waiting.

    I quit after a few months. The uncompensated live loads/unloads are soul sucking. The middling, Per Diem assisted CPM just isn’t worth the hours donated to IRT. I won’t go into the long term impacts of Per Diem - hint, they aren’t good.

    IRT missed its/mine payroll Direct Deposit a couple weeks ago. That was a first in my decades of direct deposit. The excuse was laughable, disingenuous, silly.

    The job is easy, literally a steering wheel holder, but the uncompensated downtime just kills anything on the + side.

    I’ve kissed a lot of frogs, IRT is my first toad.
    c'est la vie

    Yeah, I'm gonna drop that trailer and I'm waiting for a driver to come with a load from Florida, he's gonna drop his and I'll take that load to deliver. I parked at the Love's cause I didn't feel like walking from there to the Love's lol!

    ####... At least IRT have some drop and hooks, guess what I'm doing? Waiting for the other load to get here, that load should be here the earliest in the afternoon that's if nothing happens or it'll get here tomorrow morning, got here at 9PM yesterday, so a day of sitting... So you went to another company or did you quit trucking in general?
