<p>[QUOTE="Tanker_82, post: 12374245, member: 189135"]I honestly don’t know. I’ve always been a driver at this company, so I’ve never sat in front of a dispatch computer at IRT to see what they have available, etc. I can accurately state they definitely have enough coast-to-coast loads to keep me running nonstop as a solo driver. Anytime I’m at a customer or tank wash and visit with one of my fellow drivers, the subject of weekly miles is typically brought up in conversation. When I share that I average 3,000 miles per week, their response is always a head nod and a “Me too” or a “Same here.” No one ever complains about being left sitting or not getting enough miles. Team trucks are something I’m not very knowledgeable about. I’ve never ran as a team, and I rarely see them here. I know we have several of them, it’s just that I don’t run into them personally. I do my own thing and avoid the company gossip circles. If I’m around a terminal or in the lounge it’s because I’m getting a PM or have a specific purpose for being there. Once I’m finished, I leave and hangout elsewhere if I’m in between loads.</p><p><br /></p><p>The few teams I have spoke to were short run ins, as in they were cranking their landing gear down in Spokane at the same time I was, so we shook hands and had small talk for a few minutes. They had only worked here a handful of months and already had 78,000 miles on a brand new truck according to one I visited with. He told me he lived in Brownsville, TX and made more money with IRT than he did as an owner operator.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
