    I very rarley sit too, I like that!

    look at it like this, as long as you don't move you can get a 34

    I have to do alot of 34's, which is a good thing, it means i'm always moving

    I like to get a hotel when I do a 34. that way I can relax, watch TV, shower, use the internet, and even have some privacy! DOT, or a lot lizard won't knock on your hotel door at 2 in the morning!

    Don't know what happened to the old thread. Anyways, I tried to get in and was denied. I contested and reported my side on the DAC and indian river called me back to set up orientation. Not going to go tho like my company but will keep reading and keep it in my back pocket.

    people started to attack each other

    i'm glad a new thread started, now future IRT candidates can get a better idea since its only 4 pages

    but then again i'm here, so that DOES tend to cause threads to get shut down since I can suck the life out of any party

    I enjoyed working for IRT but the wait times in clovis, mcallen,dothan,portables,lafayette,and tulare with no detention or layover bankrupted me.

    Layovers aren't IRT's fault.

    neither is Detention, that's billions of other factors


    I also don't believe Detention pay is a real thing, I've mentioned this multiple times

    I made way more money at lone star milk at .30cpm than at IRT at 36 . For instance I sat in Dothan 36 hrs for LSMT and made $320. In detention...the IRT truck beside me made 0 point 0 dollars. Now he made .06 more cents per mile than I did which was about 60.$ give or take. I will take the 10.$ and hr detention pay.

    It isn't the driver's fault either, but the driver is the one who suffers. The company makes their money no matter how long the driver waits and couldn't care less about detention time because of that fact.
