Owner-Operators
Schneider Will Help Your Business Grow
At Schneider National, we believe in successful business relationships. We think of owner-operators and fleet owners as a vital part of our operations; we need them to be profitable, too. We provide the opportunity for owner-operators and fleet owners to improve their bottom line by providing:
- A profitable compensation package
- Excellent year-round miles
- Significant discounts on business expenses such as tractors, fuel, tires, insurance, maintenance and more
Mileage-Based lease option
The mileage-based lease option is a great opportunity for those who are new to the business or for those who want to concentrate more on the “trucking” end of the business. This option allows you to take the worry out of finding your next load. Schneider will take care of dispatching you and ensuring the best utilization possible. Click here to learn more >
