Marquette, MI – (Great Lakes Radio News) – Grand Rapids-based Meijer has donated two reconditioned semi-trucks and trailers to Northern Michigan University as the Marquette school begins a new CDL Truck Driving Program.
The vehicles – valued at an estimated $100,000 – had previously been part of the Meijer fleet and were formally handed over to the University at an event this morning at the new Meijer store location in Marquette Township.
Both of the vehicles have been reconditioned and prepped for their next use at NMU, including new tires, maintenance inspections and new graphics.
