On February 15, 2025, past and present Fousek Trucking employees gathered at Pad71 to reminisce about all the fun and exciting adventures working at Fousek Trucking has given them. They also took time to honor the employees and friends that have passed on. Sam and Angie Fousek bought their first truck in November of 1982. They went to a Taylor and Martin Sale in Fremont, Nebraska where they bought a blue 1975 international cabover and an American Bull rack. This was the official of Fousek Trucking. Sam started by hauling hogs out of the Heinholt Pig Station in Dante. The station was located on the southwest corner of Dante. Sam would load the pigs and haul them to the pork plants in South Sioux City, Nebraska or Madison, Nebraska. His son Steven was along for the ride most of the time. After a while he started hauling out of the Heinold Station in Scotland, South Dakota as well. Sam and Angie not only hauled hogs, but they also farmed as well. At their home, Angie kept track of all the paper-work and helped with all the farm needs when Sam was gone.
