The railroad crossing by our drop lot on Banker Street will be closed from 11/7-11/11 for repaving.
Detour: Off Fayette Ave, turn south on S Raney St. Then turn left on Pike Ave. Then at the McDonald’s turn left onto South Banker/ US 45.
Here is a visual below!
Currently, there is a lot of construction at the plant and there is very little room to maneuver a trailer around, so all trailers are being dropped at their lot.
The best practice is to drop the empty trailer at 111 E Lynn St., then bobtail to Hearthside and get the paperwork out of the mailbox by the shipping office on the north side of the building. Then head back to 111 E Lynn St and pick-up the loaded trailer.
Don’t forget about our after-hours Emergency Breakdown Service, CANXXUS.
If you need any breakdown services during after-hours, please call the number below. CANXXUS will get you what you need, arrange all the billing, and help you get you back on the road in a timely fashion!
We’re pleased to announce Andrew Ramsey, our newest addition to our Operations Team!
“Hello, my name is Andrew Ramsey and I’m the new driver manager here at Marvin Keller. I will be working alongside Nick and Tommy in helping all drivers achieve their goals! I’m very excited about the new opportunity and the challenges to come. I look forward to meeting all the drivers here at Marvin Keller. I recently got married and have two amazing stepdaughters. In my free time, I love spending time with my family.”
In honor of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, Marvin Keller would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge and thank all of our drivers. We want to recognize the hard work, sacrifice, and dedication you put into keeping this country moving. Every load you haul improves the lives of others.

From our team here at Marvin Keller, thank you for delivering our freight safely, securely, and on time, but also keeping the highways safe. We can’t wait to celebrate you at our Annual Driver Appreciation Party this Saturday!
When dropping an empty trailer at our drop lot in Decatur IL, please drop them on the west side of the lot. DO NOT drop empty trailers on the southeast side of the lot. That is where loaded trailers go. View the diagram below for reference.
If you have any questions about this, please get with your driver manager. Thank you!

Nicholas had a personal goal of purchasing a house for his parents. He wanted to figure out a way to make that happen and brought it to our attention. MK paved a path for him and he drove it. He ran that schedule hard and was able to buy the house that his parents were renting at the time. It was rewarding to guide and watch Nicholas successfully achieve his dream.
“Don’t let your dreams remain dreams forever.”
Let MK help you achieve your dreams. Talk to your DM today.
We received word from our customer at Sherwin Williams in Effingham, IL that their Safety Manager is adding a new policy in which “all drivers need to wear HI VIS clothing or a vest when they are on the premises and walking to and from the yard.”
Please note that a safety vest is now a requirement at SW in Effingham, IL.
We appreciate your cooperation!
