I don't work directly as an employee for I.P, however, I have been working at I.P as a driver on a dedicated route for better than 8 years. In that time I have seen the plant slow down each year about this time. They just came out of their annual shutdown for upgrades to equipment and facilities and it takes awhile to get spooled up again. I see plenty of product moving out of the mill on a daily basis. The Carolina King which makes both Pulpwood Export and a new product called Fluff Pulp is running well and moving out the gate to the state port and other facilities all over the world.
