anyone heard of jr schugel

I see them from time to time, but have only gotten to know one of their drivers over the years haven't heard any good or bad

 

Reefer outfit with APU's.
Only time I was around them was when I sometimes picked up a load at Kraft in Champaign, IL which was a big account with them at the time.

 

I see them every once in a while. Pass them and keep kickin.

 

They are an hour south of me in New Ulm MN.

About an 800 truck operation. The drivers I talk to haven't got much but good to say about them. I see their trucks in a lot place I have gone both local and OTR.

I would consider working for them.

 

worked for them for about a year and they start everybody out at .36 pm,, so if you have 6 month experience or say 5 years you get .36pm,,.09 per diem and .27 taxable so do the math with the miles you think you might run and 1/2 cent raise every 6 months if you do your job pick up/deliver on time and have no incidents. I did meet some drivers who they had let go because from what I was told from the drivers that they wouldn't run dirty back when they used paper logs and the loads they were given you had to run dirty to deliver on time and I know there are two sides to the story I would run hard back when they were on paper logs and the checks were good $900/$1000 take home and then they went to e-logs and the checks went down to $650/775 for 4 to 5 weeks out, I would spend about $125.00 a week on the road so subtract that from $650/775 a week and that's no money for me (I don't eat noodles). they do some drop/hook but mostly live loads and live unloads. as for tolls you can only run certain one's in PA and need to get permission to run the off limit tolls or they will take the whole toll charge from your check and the same goes for the OH and IN tolls and they don't pay you the miles to go around the tolls like coming out of PA on I-80 and dropping down to US 30 and running across OH/IN up to Chicago. they have 3 terminals New Ulm, MN / Tomah, WI / Columbus, OH and a few drop yards Atlanta, GA / Bethlehem, PA at a us cold storage / Chicago, IL.. they have 2 division reefer's and dry vans, they run Cascadia's and Kenworths T660 with apu at 65mph
