Schneider focuses on internal promotions in every line of business. If you work hard, focus, and are coachable then the sky is really the limit.As an associate you have access to training all the time; both self paced and instructor led.
Pros
Good work/life balance
Cons
Very fast paced- all the time

Equipment issues
CDL Driver Class A (Former Employee) - Fairburn, GA - November 18, 2021
You spend your day inspecting trucks for the 1st couple days because most of the trucks they assigned me had issues and you're wanting for people in office to assign you another truck that had a brake a issue and then back to waiting to be assigned to another truck with issue so wait another hour for them to assign another and repeat again and during the time you're doing all the inspecting and waiting you'renot getting paid for it . They have many drivers but not enough working trucks .
Pros
Easy to get hired
Cons
Everything about the company

Productive and fun work place with great work life balance
Carrier Sales Executive (Current Employee) - Green Bay, WI - November 15, 2021
Schneider is hands down the best company I have ever worked for as far as work life balance and actually caring about their associates well being. There is a lot of room for advancement and upper management is great. The only downfall is the benefits are expensive and the wages for entry level are mediocre.

New Driver
Regional Driver (Current Employee) - Atlanta, GA - November 12, 2021
As a new driver I know Schneider can and should do better. The training was okay, albeit there should be a tad bit more focus on how to use the tablet. DBLs aren't always available, which sucks.
Pros
Weekly pay
Cons
pay, training, and management

Terrible job
Intermodal Driver (Current Employee) - Portland, OR - November 11, 2021
Terrible dispatching, terribly upkept drop lot, trucks only get maintenance once a year unless there’s a break down, management has no concept about how time keeping or payroll works
Pros
They don’t care if you show up
Cons
Almost everything

Good Training
Truck Driver Class A (Current Employee) - Gary, IN - November 10, 2021
Good training. Traning pay isn't great. Depending on your location, the hotel you stay in for training varies in quality. They provide lunch during training.

Jobs at Schneider
Good for bachelors
Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Orlando, FL - November 8, 2021
If you don't mind never being home and sitting all day. Because freight in Florida is light it takes forever to get you home. Also 63 mph is some of the lowest speeds out there

A good place to get your training and get your first year of driving down with good raises the first year but after that the pay is low and slow
Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Gary, IN - November 8, 2021
A great place to get started your first year in driving but always hard to get your miles and get paid for your Miles when your planners give you large mileage assignments for the first few days of the week and then the last few days of the week you get short haul miles. You never make your agenda of 2,400 miles per week and matter of fact you make less than 2,000 miles per week. Really good place to get started but not a good place to stay! Especially if you want to get ahead and make more money. Best thing to do is just get your training and put in your first year to pay for your training. Then find someplace else to make more money cuz after 12 months to 15 months you can make $0.10 or more per mile with another trucking company with a year to year and a half experience!
Pros
Great training and good DBL's
Cons
Planners / upper management / mileage / constant breakdowns of equipment

Good advancement options
Employee (Current Employee) - Green Bay, WI - November 5, 2021
Job advancement options are plentiful!!! Good benefits, but the work culture is VERY BAD. Management is VERY BAD. On almost every team here. If you can work very independently, you will be fine.
Pros
Good benefits
Cons
Work environment is very toxic

Hard environment to work
Manager (Former Employee) - Green Bay, WI - November 4, 2021
Company spits out people like water, 3 out of 5 people won't last a year here. It's built in their culture to get rid of new employees who won't fit into their perceived mindset. Managers are let go at the same rate as hourly employees. The culture says you will do it the way it's always been done, and don't think outside the box. If you think outside the box, you're gone.
Pros
Salary
Cons
Constant turn over

Local work is great pay
Truck Driver Class A (Current Employee) - Riverside, CA - November 1, 2021
I work a local dedicated route delivering car parts. Touching freight pays extra and I make 12-13 hrs per day. Most day cabs are 2020 and newer but some trailers and lift gates are older. Broken equipment is fixed in a timely manner. Management is great! Long hours means less home time but more money. I would definitely recommend a local dedicated route!
Pros
Great starter!
Cons
Starting wage is just that. A starter.

The pay and benefits
Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Cleburne, TX - October 30, 2021
Pay and benefits are great. The wait time for loads suck. Getting the workers to open the door to unload suck. The management was ok. They were unorganized at times.

They will def keep you busy for pennies.
CDL Class A Driver (Former Employee) - Indianapolis, IN - October 29, 2021
I worked at Schneider for almost 7 months and went through nothing but humps and bumps with them from day one. I think I spent more time in hotel rooms then they gave me miles. I was terminated for one preventative incident. It was very minor and they didn’t give me a chance to excel. Don’t work here! These mega companies only care about you dropping their loads off. They don’t care about their drivers at all. I’m glad to say it pay was bad, maintenance bad, staff horrible! Best thing was the new equipment. RUN!
Pros
New equipment
Cons
No miles, terrible CS

Okay place to start
Driver (Current Employee) - Texas - October 23, 2021
Pay isn't great but you get some experience. Do your time, learn what you can and move on to greener pastures. They hire about 100 people every week so look out for yourself. Nobody else will.
Pros
They have freight.
Cons
Doesn't pay much.

Good starter company
Intermodal Truck Driver (Current Employee) - Baltimore, MD - October 21, 2021
I think Schneider is a good starter company. The money isn't bad but it could definitely be better. This is my first truck driving job so I don't have anything to compare it to.
Pros
Good communication with dispatch.
Cons
Doesn't pay much while waiting to get loaded or unloaded.
