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's son) took over the company after his parents retired and is now our company President and fearless leader! Over the last 50 years we have built a strong customer base in the Southeast, hauling many types of products. We have grown some since 1976 and we now have a total of 4 terminals! Terminals are in Dade City FL, Tampa FL, Jasper TN, and Elko GA.
We are licensed to run in all 48 states, but we primarily stay in the southeast. (FL, GA, AL, MS, LA, TX, AR, MO, IL, IN, OH, PA, WV, VA, NC, SC, TN, KY, but we are not limited to running only these states)
Our fleet is made up of Volvo and Kenworth, automatic trucks. (2013 and newer)
We do not allow passengers. We do not have passenger seats in our trucks
