CHART 1-DAT-Van-Hot Market Map-Nov 12 2018-Columbus-2018-11-16-13-52

Van load-to-truck ratios in Columbus have been on an upward trend but spiked during Q4 2017 and early 2018, during the weeks leading up to the ELD mandate and directly after. Those ratios jumped again around April 1, when ELD “hard enforcement” began, and have loosened up considerably since then.

Owner-operator Raiko Graveran might be the 'nicest dude in all of trucking,' a version of which has been said by more than one truck showgoer who's found him and his 1995 Freightliner FLD 120 parked up. Here he's showing off fairly recent wins at the Old Town Rig Down event in Nacogdoches, Texas. Look for Graveran out at the Stars, Stripes and White Lines event this week in Atlanta.

Red, white and 'Little Blue': The story of owner-operator Raiko Graveran

RGT Transport owner Graveran came to the United States in '08 on a raft from Cuba, ultimately able to gain legal permanent resident status with the immigration policy of the time. Today, he's the proud owner of a multi-award-winning custom '95 FLD flattop that cuts a unique picture on the show circuit.
