Home Time

Schneider Intermodal is a great choice for drivers with families. Our regional truck drivers get home weekly or more, while local truck drivers are home every night. With Schneider Intermodal, you can be there for your family; then hit the road to do the job you love. Plus, we offer more options when it comes to work schedules. So whether your life works best on a Monday-Friday shift or a Friday-Tuesday, you can find a driving schedule that works for you.

Steady Freight

Get ready to run — Schneider's Intermodal division is growing quickly. We've got a solid freight base that is continually expanding as Intermodal delivery becomes more popular. Between Fortune 500 retail shippers and medium-size manufacturers, Schneider has the freight to keep you moving year-round. And it's not just any freight; 75% of our Intermodal loads are drop and hook.

Continual Training

Schneider's number one core value is Safety First and Always. One way we reinforce that is through our driver training practices. In 2012, Schneider launched two new Training Academies for Intermodal drivers. They are strategically located in Chicago and Los Angeles — some of the busiest railroad regions in the United States. The four-day paid curriculum includes classroom learning and in-truck training to make sure you'll be successful and safe when you hit the road.

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what local driver Latressa Williams had to say about Schneider's Intermodal training program:

“I don't know too many companies that will literally show you exactly how it’s done; they’ll just send you out there. Schneider doesn't do that. They'll show you. They'll show you again. And they'll make sure that you do know and then they want you to show them again. Therefore, they'll feel safe and proud to say, 'Ok this is our driver. We stand behind his work and what he's doing because we taught him well.'”
- Latressa Williams, Local Intermodal driver

Bigger Money

Schneider Intermodal drivers average $42,000 - $60,000 a year, depending on experience and location. In addition to your base pay, you’ll have the opportunity to earn performance pay for driving safely each week and have access to unlimited referral bonuses.

Schneider also has the Pace Setter Recognition and Rewards Program, created exclusively for our Intermodal truck drivers. You can earn points by meeting various performance criteria — like having zero preventable accidents and zero log falsifications. Then you can redeem those points for your choice of more than five million prizes. It’s Schneider’s way of rewarding drivers who consistently go the extra mile and achieve exceptional results.

New Equipment

Schneider National is the premium door-to-door asset-based Intermodal service provider in North America. That means we use our own trucks and our own containers to move freight for our customers. We're committed to keeping those assets in tiptop shape. We've added more than 3,000 new trucks and nearly 2,000 brand-new boxes in our fleet in the past two years. New equipment means fewer repairs for our regional and local drivers. And that keeps you on the road, racking up the miles you want and bringing home the money you need.
