Schneider Dedicated jobs spotlight: Driving cool equipment

Schneider’s Dedicated division hires drivers to haul for one specific Dedicated customer. Each Dedicated account is unique, so each Schneider Dedicated job is too — all with consistency being the hallmark of life as a Dedicated truck driver.

We’ve previously highlighted glass hauling and discount retailers among the huge variety of Dedicated accounts we support, and today we’re showcasing our account with a leading manufacturer of utility vehicles (UTV), all-terrain vehicles (ATV), golf carts and other recreational vehicles.

Custom engineering & cool equipment for drivers

When Schneider takes over delivery for a specific customer, transportation needs are evaluated from the ground up. Delivering UTVs is a complex process, creating challenges for both dealers and manufacturers.

Schneider’s engineering team performed onsite assessments, recommended innovations and ultimately implemented the following to improve safety, reliability and the driver experience:

• Custom trailers: Over 50 custom double-decker dry van trailers were produced, including customized ramping technology with safety guardrails.

• Account reference guides: Each dealership has a detailed profile with pertinent information to help drivers deliver with confidence, including where to park and unload, delivery windows and contact information.
• Account-specific UTV driver training: In addition to general driver orientation, Schneider sets drivers up for success with a three-day training course for this account, which teaches:
  • How to safely drive the UTVs on and off the ramps.
  • Proper setup of the ramp.
  • Nuances of the custom-made trailer.
