Sen. Grassley visits Schuster Co as company celebrates 70th anniversary
Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley paid a visit to Schuster Co yesterday morning in Le Mars, touring the company’s headquarters and sitting down for a Q&A session with president Steve Schuster, vice president Jeff Arens, Schuster employees, and local community leaders and media. Grassley says Schuster is an example of an exceptional Iowa-based business.
Schuster celebrated its 70th anniversary last week, with the family-owned company having hauled for local businesses like Wells and Bomgaars for decades. Vice president Arens says those local partnerships have helped to fuel growth for the company.
Since the company’s founding in 1956, Schuster Co has grown to support over 470 drivers and owner-operators hauling a quarter of a million tons of freight across the country every year.

Plymouth County authorities arrest suspect after reported assault
Plymouth County authorities have taken a suspect into custody who was wanted for an alleged assault that took place Monday morning. 59-year-old Kelly Bivens of Sioux City was arrested on Monday evening and charged with willful injury, a Class C felony, burglary in the third degree, a Class D felony, and theft in the second degree, a Class D felony.
The Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office say they received a report of an assault in the area of Highway 12 and K 18 S, where deputies and Akron Ambulance found an injured 69-year-old man that had been assaulted inside of his vehicle. Deputies were initially told that the suspect had fled on foot, but a resident in the area told officers that a person with a bicycle was on their property. A perimeter was established with the assistance of Iowa State Patrol, the Woodbury County Sheriff’s Office, and the Sioux City Police Department, but the suspect wasn’t found after a 3.5-hour search.
Bivens was eventually arrested around 6pm Monday after being found walking alone near the Plymouth/Woodbury County line. He is scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing on July 9th, and will remain in the Plymouth County Jail on $20,000 bond.
