Pros

Good benefits fair pay works well for appointments, family matters, i.e necessary personal time off requests

Cons

Leaderhip is entirely too political to be effective or functional. Promoted leaders tend to be relatives, best friends, or otherwised involved individuals with already elected in-house leadership, and usually not the best candidate for the job. Very disheartening & disappointing to those who are hardworking, ethical and desire career growth.

Pros

Dedicated local account, driver leaders are nice, equipment is decent.

Cons

$12/hr on duty, not driving pay. That’s ridiculous and includes everything except driving. Work can be inconsistent at times, hours can be long, no holiday or mileage bonus pay for a long time after hire, benefits are expensive. Schneider won’t allow drivers to use Bluetooth or any other hands-free device, INCLUDING HEARING AIDS, to receive calls while driving. This makes having a life outside of work and scheduling appointments almost impossible.
