    I have a buddy that still works there and he started running teams because solo miles were so low. I talked to him this morning and he is on his way back to winter haven from California. He says they will get around 7000 miles for the week. Just not sure its worth teaming.

    I don't see the IRT trucks coming thru here as much either, most of the north bound stuff was headed for Canada best I knew..

    We got smart and moved on for better pay and better miles . They have a lot of trucks sitting they have lot of ads out . I don't see Irt in bissiness for very much longer. They have new trucks they can't pay for or put people in them . They lost there pre pass cuz of there CSA scoring . Irt is hurting all the way around glad I jumped boat when I did .
