Benefits of truck driving

1. Huge opportunity — The need for drivers is growing

As the economy and freight volumes continue to grow, so does the need for truck drivers. The American Trucking Association states that freight volumes will grow 35% by 2029, meaning truck drivers will continue to be highly sought after. And as one of America’s busiest carriers, Schneider is always winning new business and looking to grow its fleet of drivers.

2. Independence and flexibility — Embrace the freedom of the open road.

If you’re tired of your nine-to-five job and looking for adventure, truck driving is the career choice for you. This unique job allows you to travel and experience the freedom of the open road, all while earning a steady paycheck. However, at Schneider, that doesn’t mean needing to spend weeks out on the road. We have a huge variety of home time options available, so you can get home when you want while still enjoying the independence you need.

3. Opportunity to make a difference — Deliver essential products across the U.S.

Most products people use or consume daily were, at some point, transported on a truck. Truck drivers don’t just drive a truck from point A to point B, they are essential workers that make a difference in communities across the country. In fact, during emergency times like the pandemic, Schneider drivers impacted communities by delivering crucial supplies such as food, equipment and medicine.

4. Plenty of career opportunities — Find a career that grows with you.

The great thing about truck driving is the huge variety of job opportunities it provides. From hauling dry van freight to pulling loads in and out of rail yards as an intermodal driver, there are a lot of options to choose from. Plus, at Schneider, you’ll have the flexibility to transition to different driving jobs with various home time schedules as your life and needs change.

5. Improved driver experience — Your safety and comfort come first. 

Over the years, advancements in technology and equipment have made truck driving a safer and often less physically demanding career choice. At Schneider, we’re focused on enhancing the driver experience by investing in state-of-the-art equipment that keeps our drivers safe and comfortable on and off the road.

6. Benefits for you and your family — Set yourself up for success. 

Truck drivers typically have access to all the benefits they need to keep themselves and their families well taken care of. Schneider’s benefits package is no different. Drivers get access to health, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) with company match, paid time off and more.
