    Hey Jaybird, wondering if you're still with Raven? How are things going this year? I live on the Eastern Shore of MD...would they hire from there? I've seen your trucks in Salisbury.

    Thanks

    I drive for raven. i am not sure if we hire in the pittsburg area or not. We run quite a bit of pa out of lima oh, so i wouldnt see why. Raven wont hire outside their running area, but pa is a heavy run zone so you should be good. This we are running a lot better than last year. We got some new contracts that added a new customer base and more miles so thats always a good thing. Any questions about dirty bird (raven) i will give it too ya str8. Be safe out there everyone and God bless.

    I was just approved to go to work for Raven and I live in Mobile, Al. I hope I am making a good decision by going there. I cant find any negative on them. You guys that work for them, you got anything?

    Congrats Leftnut !!! you made a good decision. Raven is a difficult company to get on with. They have one of the lowest turnover rates in the truckload industry. The last I heard it was under 25%. Best wishes
