What We Do

Hauling heavy. Treading lightly. Since 1968.

Kuperus Trucking is a third-generation, family-owned truckload carrier based in Jenison, Michigan. For over five decades we've moved freight for some of the most demanding shippers in the Midwest — quietly, safely, and on time.

Today we run a tight, modern operation: a 2020+ tractor fleet, 100% no-touch freight, and dedicated daily capacity on the Grand Rapids ↔ Chicago corridor. We're a recognized SmartWay High Performer and a past Carrier of the Year — and we plan to keep earning it, one load at a time.

Truckload, done right

Full truckload freight with reliable transit, careful drivers, and a dispatch team that actually answers the phone.

Dedicated capacity

Contract carriage and dedicated lanes for shippers who need consistency, not surprises.

SmartWay-certified fleet

Late-model, fuel-efficient tractors — lower emissions and cleaner runs across every mile.

Drivers who stay

Home-daily schedules, modern equipment, and a culture that's kept drivers with us for decades.

The Lane

One corridor. Run with precision.

From our yard in Jenison, MI we run the I-196 / I-94 corridor between Grand Rapids and the greater Chicago area every day — both directions. That focus means predictable transit for shippers and predictable home-time for drivers.

  • Daily runs in both directions
  • Predictable, repeatable transit times
  • Dedicated capacity for steady shippers
  • Drop-and-hook options
  • 100% no-touch freight
  • Home-daily for drivers
