Florida East Coast Railway's trucking arm, Raven Transport, has been shut down.

From comments like the one below, it sounds like problems began after FEC bought out the previous owner who knew how to run it.

Grupo Mexico along with inept FEC management completely dismantled Raven and ran it straight into the ground. Grupo brilliantly turned Raven into a drayage carrier to feed the railroad. FEC management has no clue how to run a railroad much less an OTR trucking company.

Believable. How many railroads have tried and failed at trucking? A lot I bet.

Florida carrier shuts down OTR and dedicated fleets, lays off 57 drivers
"Raven Transport Holding Inc. said it is shutting down its over-the-road and dedicated fleets,..."
"The closure of the two fleets will result in 83 laid-off employees, including 57 truck drivers"

Florida East Coast Railway website:
"FEC Railway’s truckload carrier, Raven Transport Holding Inc., provides line-haul, heavy haul and dray services, as well as plant logistics, for the Southeast with operating authority to service all 48 contiguous states... Raven Transport is positioned to handle all time-sensitive freight at pick-up and delivery." [fecrwy.com]
