Schneider National to hire 2,500 more drivers
Published February 9, 2010 - BizTimes Daily
Green Bay-based Schneider National Inc. announced plans to grow its regional driving fleet and hire 2,500 additional semi-truck drivers this year, offering experienced drivers across the country an opportunity to enjoy the stability of a large carrier with weekly time at home or better.
“Work-life balance is more important than ever to today’s professional truck driver,” said Mike Hinz, vice president of Schneider National. “Schneider’s regional driving opportunities are a perfect fit for those drivers who want to make a good living with a company that will be here tomorrow, and at the same time, enjoy more time at home with their families.”
Schneider offers regional driving opportunities across the United States, with operations offices in the West, Southwest, Midwest, Southeast and Northeast regions. Strong reception of the service by customers and drivers, alike, has accelerated Schneider’s regional expansion plans. Hiring will continue throughout the year, and all 2,500 drivers will be in place by December.
According to Hinz, Schneider’s rapid expansion is due to a growing freight base within each of its five regions. “The customer demand for our regional service has exceeded our expectations and created enough freight density to get drivers home weekly.”
