Equipment & Technology
We’re investing in your best experience.
Schneider is committed to providing drivers the best possible experience while they’re behind the wheel. After all, a well-maintained fleet means less down time for you and more available time doing what you do best: a professional job you can be proud of. Our fleet is one of the newest in the industry. And we’ll continue to focus our attention on a great driver experience by continuously evaluating equipment and keeping our fleet at the forefront of technology.
In-Cab Technology: Boldly leading the industry through cutting-edge advancements
Twenty years ago, we installed the industry’s first satellite system, connecting a nationwide network of drivers and equipment and leading the industry into the future. Today, we’re doing it again. To date, 25 percent of our fleet is equipped with the new and improved wireless. Full, fleetwide implementation will be complete by the end of next summer. Watch driver testimonials >>

Reliable Equipment
Reliable equipment means more than just a more comfortable experience for our drivers. It means better safety performance and a lower occurrence of driver injuries. And it’s part of our ongoing effort to care not only for our own associates, but also for the motoring public as a whole.
By keeping our tractor fleet younger, we’re also able to achieve our green initiatives. We’re pursuing a sustainable future by actively reducing our carbon footprint through emissions reductions and increased fuel efficiency.

Schneider National’s trailer fleets consist of over 48,000 van trailers and 1,500 tanker trailers. With so many trailers available, we are better equipped to reduce costly trailer searches and wait times for loading and unloading, resulting in more logged miles for our drivers each and every day.
