About J&R Schugel

HISTORY: 1974 – PRESENT

In 1974, when Jerry and Rich Schugel started J&R Schugel Trucking with their father Harold, they had 15 trucks, 20 trailers and an idea. That idea was to provide their customers with quality service at a good price. The company experienced great success and growth throughout their control, boasting to 350 power units and 550 refrigerated trailers in 1998. In 2005, Jerry and Rich passed the family legacy on to their respective sons Rick and Brad, who maintained the same business practice concepts while growing the fleet to over 600 tractors and 1,000 trailers. In 2014, J&R Schugel celebrated 40 years as a leader in the transportation industry. This was also the year that J&R became 100% employee-owned! J&R has seen plenty of changeover the years but our dedication to drivers and employees remains the same.
