FAQs

Your frequently asked questions: answered.

Q. How long will I be out on the road?
A. Over 75% of our drivers get home weekly. Home time varies by account and driving type. For example, a Regional driver is typically home weekly, whereas an Intermodal driver performing drayage assignments often gets home weekly or more than weekly.

Q. Do you allow split-logging?
A. No. DOT regulations require a consecutive 10-hour break.

Q. What’s your policy on per-diem?
A. When you sign on with us, you’ll automatically be enrolled in the per diem program for your first 90 days.

Q. Can I take a passenger with me?
A. Our number one core value is “Safety First and Always.” There’s nothing more important to us than safe driving habits. Therefore, we require six months of safe driving with Schneider National before passengers can be permitted. Required insurance is also available through Schneider National, and only one passenger is permitted at a time. Experienced drivers may be eligible to begin this program sooner if they meet the necessary guidelines.

Q. Are your trucks governed?
A. Our trucks are governed to run at 60 mph.

Q. Do you pay for idle air?
A. At this time, we do not pay for idle air. We are currently working to make cooling systems available in all of our tractors. We do however have Wabsto heaters in all of our OTR trucks.

Q. Do you require uniforms?
A. No, uniforms are not required, however, we ask our drivers to remember that they are the face of our company in our customers’ eyes. We require our drivers to look neat, clean and professional. We also have discounted Schneider apparel available for purchase.

Q. When do I qualify for vacation?
A. Vacation pay is based on years of service. One week of paid vacation is earned after one year of employment:

  • 1 year of service = 1 week paid vacation
  • 2 years of service = 2 weeks paid vacation
  • 7 years of service = 3 weeks paid vacation
  • 15 years of service = 4 weeks paid vacation

Q. Will I receive layover and detention pay?
A. Yes, we pay both layover and detention pay.

Q. I aspire to become a driver trainer and work in an office. How long do I have to drive before I can make the switch?
A. We ask that you commit to six months of service before attempting to transfer to another position. Once complete, you may pursue another career path within our organization. We are a company with small-town, family values, yet our size allows our associates to enjoy the perks of a large corporation. Therefore, we can provide many unique career opportunities.

Q. Your Home Run Program offers one week off after being out for three. Can I work the week I’m scheduled to be off?
A. Yes.
