Schneider Will Help Your Business Grow

At Schneider National, we believe in successful business relationships. We think of owner-operators and fleet owners as a vital part of our operations; we need them to be profitable, too. We provide the opportunity for owner-operators and fleet owners to improve their bottom line by providing:

• Two great leasing programs to choose from
• A profitable compensation package
• Excellent year-round miles
• Significant discounts on business expenses such as tractors, fuel, tires, insurance, maintenance and more

We now offer two impressive lease options — giving you the opportunity to make the best decision for your business.

Choice-Based Lease Program

Introducing the Choice based lease option. It’s an option that provides owner-operators the opportunity to make trade-off decisions on load assignments and revenue paid to the truck. One of the great advantages of this model is that the contractor has the ability to view all the available freight. Not only for that one day, but also to look ahead and select the next load.

Mileage-Based lease option

The mileage-based lease option is a great opportunity for those who are new to the business or for those who want to concentrate more on the “trucking” end of the business. This option allows you to take the worry out of finding your next load. Schneider will take care of dispatching you and ensuring the best utilization possible. Click here to learn more >

When you join Schneider National as an owner-operator, you'll be in the fast lane to a great career with a partner you can rely on.

You'll participate in our driver orientation program. This brief, three-and-a-half day training session begins on Sunday and ends on Wednesday. You'll get paid $500 for attending and completing the session. We will pay you $.50 per mile to bobtail you to the training center nearest you.

DOT Drug Screen is prior to orientation, which includes:
- Additional classroom training
- Road test
- DOT drug screen
- Schneider National principles and procedures

• Operating Center procedures
• Core Values
  • Safety first and always
  • Integrity
  • Respect
  • Excellence

While you are completing orientation, your truck will have an appointment with our shop, where it will go through a Schneider National inspection which includes DOT standards to make sure that it is running at the peak of performance.

Also during orientation, you will be assigned to an Independent Contractor Advisor. Your advisor will be there to guide and support you while you're out on the road and will also help you with issues concerning dispatch, pay and additional training. They are your go-to person, whom you can rely on everyday, no matter where you are nationwide.
