Ride of Pride military tribute trucks
Schneider is proud to have received 14 Ride of Pride trucks – the most awarded to any carrier since the program started in 2001. This distinction reflects our status as a top military-friendly employer in the trucking industry, with 19% of Schneider associates having military experience.
This special fleet not only serves as a rolling tribute to military members past and present but travels to special events throughout the country. Each Schneider driver who captains a Ride of Pride truck is a veteran, reinforcing our dedication to providing long-term, civilian careers for veterans.
Check out the program, the trucks and the drivers honored to participate in it.
