Hear from a truck driver at our New Brighton operation!

Meet veteran truck driver James V., who has been a part of the Ruan family since 2018 and has over 35 years of driving experience. During his time at Ruan, he has served in various roles including over-the-road (OTR) driver and yard spotter. He is now transitioning into a new role as the newest member of our dispatch team.

“After many years of driving, I have worked at multiple companies that were all a bit different. I’ve found that working with Ruan is a pleasure—there are always loads available with competitive pay rates. Ruan provides great, well-maintained equipment through their local shops, serviced by skilled technicians. They have developed a safety training program to keep drivers informed and safe. Like true friends and family, the drivers help each other with tips and suggestions. All in all, Ruan is the best company I’ve driven for.” – James V.
