We encourage it, and with thousands of Schneider drivers on North America’s highways, it’s not hard to find someone. Thanks to Schneider’s Driver Referral Program, engaging in those discussions can benefit both prospective and current drivers.

How much extra cash can you earn through driver referrals? 

Refer an unlimited number of drivers. Here’s how much you can earn for each individual that is hired or leases on with Schneider:

  • All bonus amounts are subject to change. 

Full eligibility info and referral program rules are available to Schneider drivers.

  • Gain firsthand insights and advice about driving for Schneider. 
  • Simplify your hiring process — we’ll call you to get started after a Schneider driver refers you. Of course, you can apply 24/7 through SchneiderJobs.com, too, but for a referral bonus to be added, the referral must be submitted prior to you contacting Schneider. 
  • Experience the unlimited earning potential you’ll have through driver referrals when you become a Schneider driver.

  • Help your friends, family, driving school classmates and other drivers you meet find meaningful driving careers with an industry leader. 
  • Submit a referral in just minutes with an online referral through the Schneider Compass mobile app — available on your personal mobile phone and company-provided tablet.
