Teuck driver

Driver (Current Employee) - New Baltimore, Oh - January 30, 2023

Schnieder is a good starter company for drivers with miminal to no experience. The trainers during orientation at an O.C. and TE's for the road time are helpful in transitioning from a student to beginner drive.

ok

Driver (Current Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - January 27, 2023

Schneider is okay but they want to keep you on company side and make you a hard time to transfer over to owner operator division. company drivers only get paid about 10 to 20% of their revenue

Educational

CDL Class A Driver (Current Employee) - Gary, IN - January 25, 2023

Ok pay, depends on which account your in some pay better than others,all trucks under 5 years old all automatics, governed at 65, forced dispatch but not micro managed they are flexible if you need to be home for certain events but home time varies, detention pay varies by account but not great, they prefer you park the truck at a hub even if its an hour or 2 away. 2 weeks orientation plus 1 week in cab trainer. Overall great place for new drivers to get your experience and move on to a better paying company

Low pay

CDL Class A Driver target dedicated (Current Employee) - Chicago, IL - January 25, 2023

With no experience and staying local, I guess you can’t ask for much. But the pay is pretty low and loads are inconsistent. Once I get 6 months I’m leaving for better pay.

Great people, low pay

Driver Leader (Current Employee) - Green Bay, WI - January 24, 2023

Work with great people and there is room to advance. Lots of training programs/opportunities to grow. Pay and benefits could be better. Low work/life balance. Often working long hours. Could use more support from management.

Thanks for the fantastic five-star review! We care for each and every one of our drivers. A positive attitude is important in becoming a successful truck driver. Drive safe out there!

Great company, meh pay

Truck Driver Class A CDL (Current Employee) - Carlisle, PA - January 22, 2023

Really good company to start your career as a truck driver. They do care about their drivers. Just don't come in expecting good pay. There are also some "rules" which you have to follow and should keep in mind.

Thanks for the review. We agree Schneider is a great place to start your truck driving career but it's also a great company to retire from one too. We have a hire-to-retire philosophy and many drivers that have over 10 or 20 plus years with us. Take care.

Just A Starter Job

Driver (Current Employee) - West Memphis, AR - January 21, 2023

If your looking to get experience in the trucking world this is a great starter company nothing more, these people have lied to me since I started the recruiter told me they will reimburse me up to $250 for travel expenses and when I got there they informed me that I cannot get a refund because I was not a employee with Schneider after I became employed they then told me they didn’t understand why I would get a flight to the OC for training and could not reimburse me and good luck if you need help on the road they will have you on hold for 30 minutes to an hour.

Pros

They have clean showers and a cafeteria at some Operation Centers

Cons

The pay, home time, terrible management

Very good training, old equipment, just choose the best account, mines didn't make any money. Also had a lot of breakdowns. But I'm thankful for the opportunity and training.

Pros

Good training

Cons

Old equipment, no family time, low pay, breakdowns.

Good if you don’t mind not having a life

Commercial Driver (Former Employee) - Ft. Collins, CO - January 19, 2023

Schneider was a great company to start with. But the work/life balance is non-existent. They expect you to constantly be on the road and give little home time. I was out 11 days at a time and had 2-3 days of home time before returning back out on the road. There’s usually setbacks in picking up or dropping off loads so your miles get cut-which means your pay gets cut short also. It’s better if you don’t mind not being in good physical condition or if you don’t have a family. For me both of these were priority so it wasn’t a good fit. I was taking home between 1200-1600 a week on an account that paid 74 CPM my highest check ever was 2100 that only happened twice in 9 months.

Pros

Work by yourself, get left alone and can make decisions for yourself mostly

Cons

No home time, not enough pay for work to rest ratio, constant setbacks with freight

Not a bad company to work for

Truck Driver Class A (Former Employee) - Green Bay, WI - January 16, 2023

Company you can go back to if you've ever left I'm not too bad to work for The only real problem is when I was doing the boat Crow that kept me stuck up in the northeast even those over the road but that was due to the way they ran things at their core opposite terminal if you're not stuck at that terminal the place is actually pretty decent
