Schwend, Inc., is a quality driven company specializing in serving the transportation related needs of customers who share our value of high quality service, continuous improvement, and employee support and development.

Charles and Judi Schwend started Schwend in 1976 offering exceptional service to the agricultural industry. Schwend started out with only two trucks hauling molasses. The company soon realized that hauling citrus pellets, an animal feed produced from food byproducts of citrus processing used for feedstuff would also be a good revenue generator. To be able to haul these pellets Charles converted a van trailer to a hopper trailer, by cutting holes with hatches on the top of the trailer and sloping the interior of the trailer using plywood then cutting in the bottom of the trailer to allow the product to bottom drop into underground pits for ease of delivery. With Charles' innovativeness Schwend had its first hopper bottom grain trailer. The company added pneumatic tanks in 1986 to expand our operations and to provide more options to our customers. Schwend has more recently added walking floors to our fleet. We continue to expand our operation to provide more options to our customers.
