Schneider National adding 300 drivers in Southwest

Schneider National Inc. said Monday that it is hiring 300 new truck drivers in its growing dedicated and bulk (tanker) divisions to serve oil drilling areas of Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.

Green Bay-based Schneider is specifically looking for drivers to serve the areas of Alice, Laredo, Victoria, Midland and San Antonio, Texas, and the Oklahoma regions of Elk City and El Reno. In addition, drivers are being sought in the Hobbs, N.M., area. Drivers will use either dry hopper tankers to deliver products into, or liquid tankers hauling condensate from, the oil extraction areas.

The trucking firm said driver pay can range from $40,800 to $60,500 per year depending on experience and the specific account served.

The company's growth in the area is fueled by new, booming business with leading energy companies in the oil industry, Schneider National said in a press release. With $3.1 billion in annual revenue, Schneider is the largest privately held truckload carrier in North America. The company said it is also hiring drivers and leasing owner-operators in its regional, over the road and intermodal fleets.

...hope they're hiring Americans and not illegals!!!

I was once offered a job with Schneider but I turned it down because their truck were ugly.
They had nothing but orange trucks back then.
I think some of their trucks are different colors now.

Exactly what I was thinking as I read it.

There is a website where one can check if a business uses E-verify. I'll find it and check this company. I don't think the E-verify list on the site includes ALL businesses, especially not some smaller ones. But this Schneider National, Inc one is obviously a large national corporation.

Schneider National Company Drivers

Experience the difference.

There is no commercial truck driver on the road today more recognizable than the one behind the wheel of a Schneider tractor-trailer. For the last 75 years, we’ve employed the best cdl drivers the industry has to offer, hands down – the safest, most respected and seasoned group of truck drivers out there.

95% of our fleet are experienced truck driving professionals — 1,807 with a million or more accident-free miles under their belts. Another 2,324 experienced truck drivers joined us this year — and nearly a thousand of them came back after trying other companies.

Whatever you’re looking for, Schneider delivers.

All cdl drivers are not created equal. By being big where it matters and small where it counts, Schneider is able to offer several types of driving careers to suit your needs and exceed your expectations. This year 75% of our commercial drivers will get home weekly. That's huge. It means you'll get the miles you need and get home more often.
