GREEN BAY, Wis. — Schneider National Inc. is opening up about why professional drivers choose the company and stay for the long haul.
“In an industry where freight can be unpredictable and home time can vary, Schneider continues to stand out by offering steady miles, flexible driving jobs and a structured driver transfer process that helps nearly 2,000 drivers every year move into new roles without leaving the company,” Schneider said. “For truck drivers who want stability, dependable paychecks and room to grow their careers, the carrier is consistently recognized as one of the best places to work.”
A Company that Grows with Drivers — For Life
From the start, Schneider drivers have access to local, regional and over‑the‑road (OTR) driving options, along with a wide range of freight types. As life changes and calls for a different schedule or more home time, drivers can apply to transition to a role that better fits their needs.
“Schneider’s driver transfer team makes this transition easy, guiding drivers step-by-step into new positions with the schedules and home time that better fit their lives,” Schneider said. “Few stories showcase this approach better than that of Greg Swift, a 5 million safe‑mile driver who has spent over 30 years building his career at Schneider.”
Greg Swift
Swift began his career running OTR, traveling the country while staying out for a week or more at a time.
“Schneider is the kind of company you can start with and retire from. When I first joined, early in my career, I wanted to see the country, so I ran hard and took every mile I could,” Swift said. “As my life changed and I started a family, my priorities changed too.”
The carrier has much more to offer than long-distance, OTR driving jobs, and Schneider helped Swift transition to a Dedicated account that got him home more often:
“I wanted to be home more,” Swift said “That’s when I found Schneider’s Dedicated opportunities, and it made all the difference. Being home every weekend was a huge advantage. I got more time with my wife and kids, and I kept my miles and pay.”
Swift’s journey is one of thousands that show how Schneider helps drivers shape a career that works for every stage of life.
What Schneider’s Driver Transfer Program Delivers
“When drivers ask what makes Schneider different compared to other carriers, the answer often comes down to four things,” Schneider said.
Those include:
- Reliable freight: Schneider’s over 90‑year history and large customer base deliver steady miles year‑round, a major advantage in shifting freight markets.
- Real flexibility: With one of the largest job selections in the industry, drivers can switch roles as their needs change. Schneider’s opportunities include OTR, regional, local, Dedicated, Intermodal and more.
- Long‑term stability: Drivers don’t have to jump from carrier to carrier to find the right fit. Schneider helps them move into jobs that support their lifestyle, without starting over.
- Personal support: An individualized team helps drivers explore openings, understand pay and home time, and move smoothly into new opportunities.
“This approach is why so many Schneider drivers stay for decades, and why Schneider remains one of the most stable and trusted trucking companies in the industry,” Schneider said.
