CDL-A - Intermodal truck driver

Schneider is a leading transportation and logistics company specializing in providing comprehensive freight solutions across North America. Renowned for its commitment to safety, technology, and driver satisfaction, Schneider offers diverse career opportunities for professional drivers seeking stability and growth in the trucking industry. The company operates a fleet equipped with modern technology designed to ensure efficiency and driver comfort, establishing itself as a top choice for those interested in intermodal and long-haul trucking.

This particular role is for an Intermodal Truck Driver based near Fontana, California. Intermodal drivers at Schneider are responsible for hauling freight containers secured to company-owned chassis, predominantly operating within a 200-mile radius of the Fontana area. One of the key attractions of this role is the focus on no-touch freight, with approximately 99 percent of loads requiring no manual handling and 90 percent being drop-and-hook, which means faster turnaround times and more time on the road. Drivers benefit from daily home time, making this position highly appealing for those who value a strong work-life balance.

In terms of compensation, the position offers competitive weekly pay ranging from $1,340 to $1,640. Drivers are compensated based on mileage, load pay, and receive hourly pay during on-duty but non-driving periods. Schneider also provides a paid orientation to ensure all drivers are properly trained before starting. Over time, drivers gain paid time off after six months of service along with six days of holiday pay annually. Additionally, there is an annual bonus opportunity where drivers can earn up to 3 percent of their gross annual pay, rewarding dedication and performance.

Schneider prioritizes its drivers’ professional development and safety by offering specific intermodal training sessions at major hubs. The company uses cutting-edge technology including tablets and mobile apps to streamline the driving experience and reduce downtime. This technologically advanced environment supports better communication and efficiency throughout the delivery process.

Moreover, Schneider fosters an inclusive company culture that emphasizes dignity, respect, and diversity across all dimensions including race, gender, age, and veteran status. This commitment to inclusivity not only enriches the workplace environment but also drives innovation and leadership within the organization. Schneider complies fully with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and ensures reasonable accommodations for applicants throughout the hiring process.

The role requires a minimum of three months of Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) experience, preferably with Tanker and HazMat endorsements. Candidates must reside within 20 miles of Fontana, California to meet the logistical requirements of this position. Schneider also extends military benefits and recognizes military experience and apprenticeship programs, making it an excellent choice for veterans seeking civilian driving careers.

Schneider’s employment verification process includes use of E-Verify to confirm all newly hired associates’ eligibility to work in the United States. This full-time position as a company driver comes with the advantage of daily home time, sign-on bonuses, comprehensive benefits, and state-of-the-art equipment that enhances driver comfort and productivity. Joining Schneider as an intermodal truck driver offers a rewarding career path with a reputable company dedicated to supporting its drivers through robust pay structures, thoughtful benefits, advanced training, and a positive company culture.
