Thanks, I went to 2 places close by and did just that. Even though I haven't started school just yet I wanted to see what they had. They both told me that they were full at the moment, but to check back when I have my license because things could change from now and then. They also actually seemed to appreciate coming in and talking to them instead of just calling like you mentioned. I will try and do a lot of research and go to as many companies as I can.
Thanks again

You can try Transway and Hutt trucking out in Holland area also. I get around W MI every day and will try and keep my eyes open for other possibilities for you.

Ok, Thanks, I have looked at them, but haven't went to them in person yet. I would like to find a smaller company that runs regional or just the state of Michigan and back home. I think that will be hard to find with just coming out of school and being in this state but well see. I will go OTR too just don't really want to deal with all the garbage I hear from some of the big companies that I know will hire me (My pre-hires) . Not to say the small ones won't screw me either, I just may have a better chance finding a company that may actually care about the drivers. I can hope at least. -
I don't know who's hiring in your area but I can tell you that you should apply and go to work as soon as possible after you graduate. A lot of companies won't take you after you've been out of school for many months. I got out of school and got my CDL the last of April 2009. When I started looking for a job a few weeks ago, many companies wouldn't look at me because it had been too long. Just an FYI.

Thanks, I wondered about that. Also in my situation I will be done with the school the second week of November which could be hairy with the winter going to start and just starting with a company. But oh well got to start some time I guess.
