Heck Otto

Founded in 1955 by Earl Schilling and Jack Fraley, F&S began as a small operation hauling farm equipment. Under the leadership of Robert Schilling, the company pioneered the ultralight concept, maximizing payload efficiency by reducing equipment weight. This forward-thinking approach has fueled our steady growth, and today, we operate over 500 trucks while maintaining the same commitment to innovation and service. At Fraley and Schilling, we don’t just haul freight, we build lasting partnerships. Our reputation is built on safety, integrity, and continuous improvement. From our dedicated drivers to our account managers and support staff, our team is committed to delivering results with professionalism and reliability. In 2023, Fraley and Schilling became a 100% employee-owned company, giving every team member a direct stake in our success. Employee Owned. Employee Driven. This ownership mindset means that every person at F&S is invested in providing the best service possible because when the company thrives, we all thrive. Our employee-owners are dedicated to innovation, efficiency, and making F&S the Premier Lightweight Fleet in America. By leveraging advanced technology and industry expertise, we create customized solutions that drive success for our customers. Whether it’s optimizing logistics or maximizing efficiency, our mission is to set the standard for excellence in transportation.
