About J&R Schugel Trucking
What began in 1974 as a modest family operation with just 15 trucks and 20 trailers has evolved into one of the nation's most respected transportation carriers. Founded by Jerry and Rich Schugel in New Ulm, Minnesota, the company started by hauling grain and feed products locally, driven by a simple idea to provide quality service at a fair price. Over the decades, J&R Schugel Trucking, Inc. expanded its reach and capabilities, transitioning from a small local hauler to a major logistics player with a fleet of nearly 2,000 tractors and 6,000 trailers.
A pivotal moment in the company's history occurred in 2014 when it became 100% employee-owned, a move that solidified its commitment to its workforce and fostered a culture of shared success. Today, the company provides comprehensive dry van, temperature-controlled, and dedicated transportation services across the continental United States. In October 2025, J&R Schugel merged with Interstate Personnel Services (IPS), further strengthening its position in the industry while maintaining the employee-centric values that have defined its journey for over 50 years.
