My new company is Raven Transport

Update: Recently just made 6 months with Raven Transport!!

 

Thank you for reading.

 

I apologize for the delay, I got out of practice on checking back like I used to do.

I don't think I will sign up to do plant loads, I'm happy running alot of P&G loads since Raven's new contract with them. I know people who really like doing them though.

If you decide to come to Raven after your contract is done you will really enjoy the freedom of choosing your own route and having time to spare on pick ups and delivery dates. Rarely does loads have a tight window and if they do just do the math and if you think you can't make it with drive hours remaining tell someone and they usually will ask when you think you can deliver it and they would adjust the times. It's a huge difference. Never rushing anywhere feels great.

Good luck to you!

 

That is true, I haven't gotten one of those in 2-3 months but yes they are the tightest runs I've experienced. Living in Louisiana and knowing the 2-3 places we pick up from I love those runs because I usually pass through to the house afterwards. I like this run because you go to the terminal, get a shower, borrow the van to go to walmart or restaurant, hang out in the drivers lounge and then start early and get there in the afternoon and can either park in the truck parking area for 10 or go to Petro if you want to chance finding a parking spot. I don't chance it myself though.

 

Also when I get that Winn Dixie plan on my way to Jacksonville I usually get fuel/snacks/food on the way to terminal the day before since it is usually an early the next day pickup. It helps. That way all I have to do is hit a rest area for the 30 minute break and head back out. This way no traffic to deal with or waiting at truck stop for an island to open.
