Why Fuchs?

Why Fuchs?

Fuchs Trucking was originally established in 1955 by LeRoy and Willard Fuchs. The company started off with one straight truck and one tractor‐trailer that concentrated on transporting livestock and forest products. In 1970, the business diversified and switched to its present location. Progress continued as the business begins serving new markets. In 1990, LeRoy passed away and the company’s duties handed over to his five children and their spouses. The company concentrated their offerings on trucking services in 2008 when it shut down its livestock operations. After less than 60 years in operation, the Fuchs family transferred ownership to two local entrepreneurial families to further expand the company and support the Sauk Community. Fuchs now employs over 130 people and has 110 tractors and 225 dry van trailers, and has a terminal in Sauk City, WI.

This company takes advantage of drivers by failing to disclose the unpaid miles for each trip, making it impossible to track free miles driven. It's now clear why they’re recruiting drivers from other states. In less than two months, I’ve realized they were dishonest from the beginning. The recruiter, April, claimed it was a regional dedicated and OTR job with around 70% drop and hook. In reality, I’ve only had one true OTR load, spending most of my time on short regional runs and daycab assignments, often waiting at docks. Experienced drivers should avoid this company unless they reside in Wisconsin.

Was at the petro in Rochelle, IL , tried walking from building to truck when, a fuchs truck never stopped or slowed down. Continued from parking lot to city street.Turning right, two other trucks had to slow down and myself walking along side the grass to jump over and the tandoms of the trailor came inches from running me over. Did not get truck number but trailor 306 was the trailor number at about 2130 on the 20th. Beware crazy, inconsiderate, rude driver should be fired.

Veteran driver with 30 yrs experience and was mislead from the very start. I quit after 7days This is a business that hires more non cdl divers then experienced drivers. The equipment is not maintained and you as I did will have constant issues with the equipment your given. Dispatch is the worst I've ever worked with. The owner is arrogant and couldn't care less about his help. You will be sold this business is for the driver but its not. The pay is poor for the work. If the employees are treated so poorly imagine being a customer. This is no doubt the worst trucking business i ever worked for. Fortunately I found work the same day I left. No hard feelings just disappointed that I was fooled. When you do quit you will be shorted and your employment offer will not be honored.

I'm a 30 year trucking veteran and I have been working for Fuchs Trucking for almost five years now. I moved from The Netherlands, where I am originally from and where I worked as an OTR truck driver for 25 years, driving all over Europe and the middle east. Fuchs Trucking provided me with additional training, so I could get my European CDL transferred to an American CDL, while getting paid! They have shown nothing but support for me. Even when I got involved in a serious accident, on the second day of the job, in very dense fog. I got seriously injured but, their main concern was always my well being and the entire staff, from management to dispatch to mechanics in the shop, showed immense support for which I am still grateful today.

Things were fine once I got my truck. The controller and owner were helpful but seemed unaware of some operational details. The trainer prioritized vaping and persuading others to adopt his religious beliefs rather than supervising driving performance. Pay and benefits are below industry standards, but home time is excellent. The shop is outstanding.

What’s the best part of working here? No forced dispatch, and you communicate directly with dispatch rather than relying on electronic messaging. What’s the most stressful aspect of the job? Sometimes, it feels like you’re being misled. What’s the company culture and work environment like? It's good—I think I mentioned this earlier. What’s a typical day like? Busy—I usually don’t talk to dispatch unless I’m empty or an issue arises.

If you’re passionate about trucking, this is a solid place to work. The trucks are modern and meticulously maintained. Professional, responsible drivers are rewarded with time off, new trucks, prompt repairs, and a supportive atmosphere. If you put in the effort, Fuchs offers a family-oriented environment.
