Nation’s Largest Truckload Provider Hiring 375 New Truck Drivers in Ohio

GREEN BAY, Wis., and MARION, DAYTON and SEVILLE, Ohio - Sept. 18, 2006 - Schneider National Inc., the nation’s largest truckload carrier, today announced it will host three job fairs in Ohio to attract and hire 375 new professional truck drivers. The events will be held in Dayton and Marion on Sept. 20 and in Seville on Sept. 21 in recognition of Workforce Services Month. Schneider’s growth in the state is fueled by new business and expanding relationships with customers.

Schneider National plans to hire experienced and inexperienced drivers for regional and over-the-road positions at the event and will continue to accept inquiries and applications via its online job site, www.schneiderjobs.com, or by calling 1-800-44-PRIDE (1-800-447-7433). Details include:

“At Schneider, our drivers make it possible to serve customers consistently, on time and with excellence,” said Rob Reich, vice president of enterprise recruiting at Schneider National. “We are seeing a significant increase in demand for transportation services in the region. With the largest customer base in the industry, Schneider expects that new and experienced drivers will join our team and benefit from leading-edge technology, superior training and rewarding career options.”

Unlike most truckload carriers, Schneider offers an award-winning, company-provided training program for inexperienced drivers looking to enter the industry and a broad range of employment options for drivers, including weekly and bi-weekly runs. Newly-hired drivers in Ohio may work for several different divisions, which offer employment options that are designed to meet individual lifestyles and varying time-at-home needs.

Schneider National’s comprehensive, company-provided training program is recognized as one of the best in the industry for its commitment to safety and service excellence. Inexperienced drivers are encouraged to apply for the new positions and will earn an average of $35,500-$43,500 in their first year. Experienced drivers will earn an average of $49,500-$58,500 per year. Experienced drivers may qualify for up to a $5,000 sign-on bonus. Owner-operators leasing with Schneider National will average $105,000-$115,000 annually.

In 2005, Schneider announced the largest compensation and work-life improvement package in its 70-year history. An example of a new work-life improvement is the company’s Home Run program. The program creates “pods” of three drivers, or teams, who live near each other and share two tractors. A driver or team, gets one week at home while the other two drivers “run.” Under the program, drivers spend 17 weeks at home per year, meeting driver requests for improved work-life balance.

Schneider National is an equal opportunity employer.
