CDL-A - Intermodal truck driver

Schneider is a leading transportation and logistics company with over three decades of experience specializing in intermodal freight services. Known for its stability, reliability, and commitment to excellence, Schneider operates a vast network that integrates multiple modes of transportation to deliver efficient, cost-effective shipping solutions. This company is recognized for its driver-centric culture, advanced technology, and comprehensive support system, making it one of the top employers for professional truck drivers across the United States. Schneider’s focus on safety, innovation, and respect for diversity ensures a fulfilling and rewarding working environment for all its employees.

The role advertised is for an intermodal truck driver based in Mesquite, Texas, designed for licensed Class A CDL holders. This is a full-time position offering a competitive weekly pay range between $1,100 and $1,340. Schneider provides its drivers with weekly home time, which facilitates a healthy work-life balance. The primary responsibility involves hauling freight containers secured to company-owned chassis, predominantly operating within a 350-mile radius of Mesquite, TX. The freight is 100% no-touch, with 50% of the operations being drop-and-hook, allowing drivers to spend more time on the road and less time waiting at loading docks. This significantly increases efficiency and earning potential for the driver.

Schneider backs its drivers with a robust compensation package that includes mileage pay, load pay, and hourly pay during on-duty, not driving time. New and experienced drivers benefit from a $5,000 sign-on bonus spread across 12 monthly payments in the first year. Additionally, the company offers paid orientation, paid time off after six months, six days of holiday pay annually, and an annual bonus that can be up to three percent of the driver’s gross pay. These incentives, coupled with comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, create a financially attractive and secure employment opportunity.

Beyond pay, Schneider provides an inclusive and supportive work environment. Drivers receive 24/7/365 operational and maintenance support from leadership and dispatch. The company also invests in advanced equipment and technology designed for driver comfort and efficiency. Schneider emphasizes specific training through paid intermodal orientation at a major hub, ensuring every driver is well-prepared and confident. The company also actively supports veterans, offering credit for military experience and military apprenticeship programs, as well as other military benefits.

Schneider is dedicated to fostering an inclusive culture that embraces diversity in race, gender, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, veteran status, and beyond. This culture promotes equal growth opportunities, strategic innovation, and leadership development within the company. Schneider operates with transparency and fairness, using E-Verify to confirm employment eligibility and complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to assure accommodations throughout the hiring process. This position is ideal for professional drivers looking for a stable career with a reputable company that values its workforce and provides ongoing support and competitive compensation.
