Changing driving jobs can seem complicated. Drivers often believe they have to switch companies if they want a new driving position. However, this isn’t the case at Schneider.
Here, we have a team of recruiters called the Driver Transfer Team. Our dedicated team helps current Schneider drivers transfer to a new driving job without leaving the company.
Keep reading to learn more about the Driver Transfer Team and how it creates a better experience for drivers.
What is Schneider’s Driver Transfer Team?
Schneider’s Driver Transfer Team was created in 2020 and is designed to help current drivers who want a new driving job due to life changes or a new career interest.
“We wanted to create a consistent transfer process for drivers,” Driver Recruiting Manager Tim Buhrandt said. “This helps create a better driver experience and meet the drivers’ needs."
In 2024, The Driver Transfer Team helped nearly 1,900 Schneider drivers transfer to new driving jobs.
“The transfer program shows Schneider cares a lot about its drivers,” Recruiting Specialist Ger Yang said. “This program gives them the opportunity to explore other driving positions.”
4 ways the Driver Transfer Team helps drivers
1. More opportunities for growth.
We want to make it as easy as possible to transition to a job that helps you achieve your career goals.
At Schneider, many of our dedicated accounts and intermodal driving jobs require previous driving experience, and our Transfer Team is here to help you move into those roles once you meet the requirements.
2. The chance to switch to a schedule that fits your needs.
At Schneider, we understand that life changes. That’s why we are dedicated to supporting you throughout those changes.
Maybe you started your career as an over-the-road driver and are now looking to become a local driver due to the birth of a child. Or perhaps you’re a new empty nester, interested in a regional position in order to spend more time out on the road.
Whatever your needs, our Driver Transfer Team can help you find a job that better suits your current lifestyle needs.
3. The ability to find a driving job you love.
Sometimes, a driver’s preferred driving job isn’t available in their area when they apply at Schneider but becomes available later. In this case, the Driver Transfer Team can help the driver transition to the position they were initially interested in, so long as the driver meets all qualifications.
Some of the many driving options you can explore, and switch to, at Schneider include:
4. A quick, seamless transition.
It’s a common misconception that once the driver is hired, they have to stay in their current position for six months before transferring. At Schneider, drivers can actually start the transfer process at any time once they are an active driver.
The transfer process usually takes two to four weeks, making it perfect for drivers who need to switch positions quickly.
