    Hello all, I am scheduled to attend CDL school just after the new year and looking for some decent local companies to work for or any other advice for that matter. I am located in Kalamazoo but definitely willing to work out if Grand Rapids or anywhere in between. I have been thinking about getting my CDL and driving for awhile and especially with money getting tight at my current job I’m ready to make the jump and do something that fits me well. Thanks for the advice in advance!

    I thought you live in Florida?
    Anyway, by local job, do you mean you want to be home every day; local or regional or some long haul?

    There's Ralph Moyle in Mattawan , they also have a school.
    800-845-6062

    There's ARVCO CONTAINERS for some local work downtown Kalamazoo.

    Vaneereden trucking has the house accounts at Herman Miller furniture in Zeeland there pretty picky on who they hire but a good gig if you can get in.

    Styrker Medical has a big distribution center at the old GM plant on Sprinkle rd across from wings stadium , Kenco runs it has a big fleet of trucks.

    There's a Yoplait yogurt plant off D ave used to be TLC TOTAL LOGISTIC CONTROL they have a fleet of Penske trucks , could be Prime inc by now there been some changes at Yoplait.

    Theres a boatload of driving jobs up Holland and Zeeland way.
    Good Luck..

    Prairie Farms in Battle Creek..class A and B.

    Or Praire Pride Carrier (PPC) out of Oak Park. They pull a lot of Prairie Farms trailers and run all over Michigan. With PPC you can start and end your day in Battle Creek.
    I worked for PPC for about 2 years and loved the job and experience.
    They also run meat loads out of Detroit. Those are usually 4-5 days out and back and can run milk loads for extra money.
