Thought I’d give an update on Ruan Transport since I’ve been there. Couple of weeks now. This will be pretty basic as it’s only based on my brief experience.

I run out of the Amsterdam NY Target DC which is a shared service with Swift. I’ve already been “Best in Class” a couple of times pulling an empty back to the DC.

I wasn’t sure how I’d be able to adjust to running nights...but so far so good. Much of what I’ve done is to the Meteo Boston area or LOng Island, Brooklyn area so running nights is an advantage.

We run 5 nights with 2 off. However, during busy times they ask you to work the 6th. Right now they are paying $100 for working the 6th day. If you say no to the 6 th day...your shuffled down the totem pole...as Old School says...it’s a performance business.

Overall, I’m happy I made the choice to start there. Things will be tweaked as I go along and they get to know me. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

Stay safe!!
