"Driving" into place effect using javascript / jquery

I have a google map with markers on several states. The markers are 开发者_如何学JAVAtrucks, and I'd like to setup an effect of the trucks "driving" in on page load before settling into place.

How can I achieve this affect with jQuery?

$(function(){
    $('.truck').each(function(i){
        var _this = $(this);
        setTimeout(function(){
            _this.animate({
                left: '300px',
                top: i * 150 + 'px'
            },'easeOutQuint');
        },500 * i);
    });
});
