“Don Schneider is one of the trucking industry’s greatest visionaries. Following deregulation in 1980, many trucking company executives kept looking back, yearning for the ‘good old days.’ Don only looked forward, seeking ways to make the industry more efficient, more reliable and profitable. The extensive lists of ‘first’ enjoyed by Schneider are because of Don’s vision that things can always be better.”
- Lana Batts
