Experienced drivers can earn an average of $42,000 �“ ์,000 in their first year, with some positions eligible for incentive pay.
Eighty of the 200 available positions are in the company’s Dedicated division and include incentive pay ranging from $1,200 – $5,000.

Jay Keppen of Woodstock, Ill. has been a Schneider driver since 2007. “I stayed (with Schneider) because they’ve lived up to all their promises – a rare thing in the trucking industry. In fact, I recently met a new Schneider Bulk driver who drove for other small companies for 20 years. He said he was tired of all the broken promises and inconsistencies of the other companies and wanted to retire with a more stable, dependable company.”
