Schneider National to hire 2,500 drivers in 2010
February 9th, 2010
Schneider National Inc. of Green Bay, the largest privately held trucking company in the country, said Monday that it plans to hire 2,500 new drivers for its regional fleet this year to serve a growing freight base.
Drivers will be hired in each of its five regions: West, Southwest, Midwest, Southeast and Northeast. Hiring is expected to take place during the entire year, with all 2,500 new drivers in place by December.
Regional drivers will provide short-haul services for Schneider customers. Schedules will allow drivers to have time at home each week.
“Work-life balance is more important than ever to today’s professional truck driver,” said Mike Hinz, vice president, Schneider National. “Schneider’s regional driving opportunities are a perfect fit for those drivers who want to make a good living with a company that will be here tomorrow, and at the same time, enjoy more time at home with their families.”
Schneider said strong reception of the regional service by customers and drivers has accelerated Schneider’s regional expansion plans.
“The customer demand for our regional service has exceeded our expectations and created enough freight density to get drivers home weekly,” Hinz said.
Schneider will continue to provide long-haul service for customers.
Schneider National is a $3.7 billion provider of truckload, logistics and intermodal services.
