Van Eerden Trucking, based in Byron Center, Michigan, was founded in 1980. The grandsons of the founder of Van Eerden Distribution Company, an 95 year old full-service food distributor, created Van Eerden Trucking to provide backhaul services. The company operated primarily as a small owner-operator fleet until 1987, when Van Eerden developed into a fleet of company owned and operated equipment.
Today, we operate over 150 tractors, 300 trailers, have a 48 states Contract and Common Carrier Authority, including a Brokers license. Our major markets include the Southeast, Southwest, East Coast and West Coast states.
