Here at Schwend we pride ourselves on being a family-owned and operated company. Charles and Judi Schwend started our company in 1976.

Jeff (Judi and Charles son) took over the company after his parents retired and is now our company President and fearless leader! Over the last 47 years, we have built a strong customer base in the Southeast, hauling many types of agricultural products. We have grown some since 1976 and we now have a total of 4 terminals! Due to our continuing growth, we are actively searching for professional, reliable, drivers to join our family! We are licensed to run all 48 states, but we primarily stay in the southeast.
