Veriha and Schneider National, ride out recession in the Fox Valley Trucking companies, including Veriha and Schneider National, ride out recession in the Fox Valley Appleton Post Crescent, USA

MARINETTE — Yellow tractor units passed through the yard at John Veriha Trucking in Marinette on a gray day in late November.
It was another day of business for the family owned trucking company that employs about 320 people.
Trucking companies like Veriha and Schneider National have weathered a severe storm that has shaken the industry since late 2006 and has seen about 2,600 companies with five or more trucks leave the business in first three quarters of the year.
Despite those grim figures, both firms are investing in their fleet, equipment and businesses to capitalize on the market when the economy turns around.
