Local jobs MI new grads!

R&L, huge barn right there in Ypsilanti, they're hiring pretty much all the time. They were nice guys, went thru the process last summer and got an offer but stayed at my company. Road test was very basic pretrip, around the block and back into a dock upon return.

 

Take a ride down to Eastern Market and poke around the produce houses (Maceri, Lopiccolo, del Bene, wolverine packing, Nuccio, Simon Leeman to name a few), small family companies that are almost always looking for a good driver. Wolverine runs semis regionally west to Chicago and east out to Pittsburgh I think.

 

As every new drivers friend Chinatown says, don't worry what the website says about required experience, apply anyways. Many companies will overlook their own requirements for a good candidate.

 

Remember it's the insurance companies that call the shots on a lot of hiring, a clean mvr is an important tool for success in this industry.

 

Depends on the company policy. Earl Henderson Trucking might take him.
Western Express
Carolina Logistics

Some companies want 3 years with a drivers license and some don't care.

 

I didn't say he should wait 3 more years. I listed a few companies that might hire him today. If he attends a private cdl school there are other companies that might hire him.
Cowan Systems might hire him as a driver helper, but there's many others also.

 

Is he going to attend a private cdl school?
