I just purchased a ridgid 14 in bandsaw. I have tried setting up the fence for drift allowance. When i start cutting the board against the fence, it always pulls to the right. Any suggestions?

Take a piece of scrap wood and make a strait line on the lenght. Free hand the piece about half way down the lent of the board. Stop and ajust the fence to the angle that the board has been cut and your fence will be aline to that blade. Each blade is different so all will have its own run.
