Solo

Total freedom of the open road

When most people think of trucking, they think of the opportunities available for solo van truckload drivers. At Schneider, these types of drivers see the country while hauling 95% no-touch, drop-and-hook freight. Plus, van truckload drivers can pick from over-the-road, regional or part-time driving options to ensure they get the home time they need.

Solo van truckload driver pay:

  • Drivers average $1,140 - $1,400 per week.

Team

The ultimate combination

Team driving is perfect for drivers who are looking to increase their miles and earnings because customers pay extra to keep high-value freight moving. Partner with a friend or family member and earn top pay, while covering 5,000-6,000 miles a week while hauling the best loads in the newest equipment. Teams typically get home monthly or can stay out longer if they want to maximize their income.
