Driven To Be The Best, Driven By The Best

SUN PRAIRIE, WI…. Becoming one of the nation’s premier specialized haulers only comes by earning the respect of your customers and drivers.  JK Hackl has done both for many years.  After 33 years, the company is still family owned and operated.

Jerry K. Hackl began his carrier as an owner-operator in 1975 and founded JK Hackl in 1991. His business philosophy was to “give customers the respect they deserve and drivers quality employment.”

3-axle drivers are given mileage pay at JK Hackl, earning an average of over $93K per year.  They also drive the best equipment; spec’d like Jerry himself was going to drive one of the trucks - late model Peterbilt 579s equipped with APU units and refrigerators. 

JK Hackl offers their drivers a great benefit package that includes free dental and vision.  The company has a pet and rider policy, but more importantly – flexible home time.  Since JK Hackl is a family owned and operated company, getting you home when you need to be is a priority.

President Derek Hackl said, “Everyone at JK Hackl is like family – our employees and drivers; you are a name here, not a number.  My Dad left some very big shoes to fill.  We plan to keep on, keeping on – carrying my Dad’s legacy forward the way he would want us to.  In a world that is constantly changing, our values here at JK Hackl will remain the same.  We will continue to offer our employees a stable work environment, being driver and family friendly.  We want to keep the bonds we have made with the many fine people that work here; we are still very personal with all of them.”

JK Hackl is predominately a specialized carrier hauling high dollar, weather-sensitive freight.  The company is hiring drivers all across the USA.  To qualify to do flatbed, stepdeck, or double drop work at JK Hackl, you must have a minimum of 3 years of experience in the last 5 years.  The company plans steady, controlled growth in the future for their fleet of 74 power units.  Even though Jerry is gone, his legacy continues through the guidance of his son, Derek Hackl, who is now President, and Jerry's son-in-law, Jesse Westby, who is Vice President, and the many loyal drivers and employees working at the company.  As Jerry liked to say, “Our mission is to provide quality employment to the driver, along with the pride that comes with working for a respected carrier.  You are part of a team at JK Hackl with a common goal of success.”

Here is what customers and drivers say about JK Hackl:

From Customer ServiceLink Transport, Inc.; "The main reason why I use J.K. Hackl is their reliability. They strive to go above and beyond what other transportation companies do, and whenever I have asked for the impossible, J.K. Hackl makes it happen! I shipped over 100 machines with them in 2008, whether they were LTL, full truckload or specialized transport shipments, all orders arrived on time, when promised and without damage.

J.K. Hackl's courteous and friendly staff is second to none in professionalism and performance. They extend these qualities not only towards me but also to my customers. I feel the friendships that I have created with the people at J.K. Hackl will last a lifetime."

From Customer Jimmy at ATS:  “Working with JK Hackl has been a relief to be honest. I never have to worry about my freight, I always get accurate updates and great communication. Hackl is very fair on rates and I definitely get what I pay for! I've done over 100 loads with them over the last few years and look forward to working with them further.”

JK Hackl Driver Tony Good: “Out of the 29 years I’ve been in the business, JK Hackl is by far the best company I’ve worked with! They follow through with what they say they’re going to do.  We have nice equipment, and the drivers are treated with respect.”

JK Hackl Driver Randy Stewart: “JK Hackl gives me the freedom to run how I want as a professional truck driver.  If you want to drive without being micromanaged, this is the place for you, too!”

JK Hackl Driver Torry Tobolt: “JK Hackl is a great company to work. For if you’re willing to put in the work.  My loyalty remains with them because nobody else pays as well, plus they don’t micromanage me.”

JK Hackl Driver Pat Ball: “When I first started driving, I always said that I wanted to get into hauling over-dimensional; the whole works.  JK Hackl afforded me the opportunity to do it! They treat us drivers with respect, and I got the chance to do what I’ve always dreamed of doing – moving the big stuff.”

JK Hackl Driver Jeremy Craig: “This is my testimonial about my experience here at JK Hackl.  I started working for Hackl in 2015 and I’ve been more than happy with the way this company operates.  They keep you busy at all times and the equipment is well maintained.  There’s no micromanaging, which is a great thing.  They go far and beyond to take care of their drivers and customers, as well, and out of the 17 yrs that I’ve been a truck driver, I am grateful of being an employee for a superior company.”
