Job Description

Schneider is a leading transportation and logistics company renowned for its commitment to delivering excellence across the trucking industry. Established with a deep-rooted emphasis on safety, reliability, and innovation, Schneider operates a comprehensive network that provides freight solutions to customers across North America. By leveraging technology and experienced professionals, Schneider ensures its drivers and partners receive consistent work opportunities, competitive compensation, and superior resources to maximize productivity and job satisfaction.

As an Owner-Operator at Schneider, you will become a vital part of a dynamic and supportive environment that focuses on your success. This role is designed for self-driven individuals who own or lease their tractors and are looking for consistent revenue streams combined with excellent support and incentives. The position offers an average revenue range between $150,000 and $210,000, complemented by attractive lease-on bonuses totaling $6,000 for a limited time, providing a perfect opportunity for new and experienced drivers alike.

This full-time role allows Owner-Operators to engage in load distance-based revenue opportunities, choosing from a variety of loads and lane options, often working with dedicated port customers that offer dependable, steady work. The job includes hauling containers under Schneider's authority with the convenience of drop-and-hook operations at no additional charge, enabling efficient time management and increased revenue potential.

Owner-Operators will receive a Samsung tablet for use both inside and outside the cab to streamline communications, navigation, and management of loads. Additionally, free trailer usage is provided, removing common operational costs and hassles for owner-operators.

Schneider also provides access to company facilities equipped with amenities such as free parking, laundry, meal options, and exercise equipment, helping drivers maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle while on the road or between hauls.

The company offers attractive perks beyond competitive revenue, including a $456 payment on the second settlement after starting business with Schneider and $252 weekly payments for the next 22 weeks. These incentives are designed to support owner-operators materially as they integrate into the business.

Additional advantages include compensation for orientation time, discounts on fuel, tires, maintenance through Schneider's Purchase Power Program, and unlimited referral bonuses. Schneider is committed to connecting drivers seeking trucks or upgrades with equipment sales and leasing providers, reinforcing the company's supportive role in its operators' long-term success.

By joining Schneider as an Owner-Operator in the Chesapeake, VA or Norfolk, VA regions, you step into a well-established, reputable organization that values your independence while providing tools and resources that empower you to succeed and grow your business effectively. This opportunity offers the ideal blend of autonomy, financial reward, and operational support in the competitive trucking industry.
