    Does anyone know if IRT gives a pre-employment physical agility test ? Thanks and be safe out there.

    No. I had my physical done locally at a Patient's First.

    I am spending about the same amount of time on either coast or traveling to one or the other.

    If there was a 48 state mix of East Coast, West Coast, and Coast to Coast like you're running, I'd do it. But unfortunately that's not what Kelly said.

    They send you for a physical. And it can take a while.no agility test

    You'll be fine. If you read further in the thread you'll see I actually ended up having a good experience with irt. Keep us posted on your experience

    Anyone from the California terminal? I submitted an application but after reading some of their reviews on indeed I'm a little turned off by the unpaid sitting.. I wouldn't mind doing the otr route to see if maybe I don't sit as much.. recruiter told me 2300-2700 miles on West coast division and 2700-3000 on our division.. I wanted to give tanker work a try and unfortunately I don't have hazmat so my options are a bit selective.. I also live in Las Vegas.. applied for food liner but I need 2 years otr exp.. only have 1 year but 2 years with license total..
