Schneider National Delivering 300 New Jobs in South Central United States

GREEN BAY, Wis., July 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider National, one of the nation's largest trucking companies, is immediately hiring 300 professional truck drivers in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico for its growing Dedicated and Bulk (tanker) divisions. The company's growth in the area is fueled by new, booming business with leading energy companies in the oil industry.

Drivers will use either dry hopper tankers to deliver products into, or liquid tankers hauling condensate from, the oil extraction areas. Average earnings for these full-time, permanent positions will be $40,800-$60,500 per year (depending on experience and specific account). Another benefit is great home time, with most positions providing daily time at home.

Specific areas in Texas in need of drivers include Alice, Laredo, Victoria, Midland and San Antonio, as well as the Oklahoma regions of Elk City and El Reno. In addition, drivers are being sought in the Hobbs, N.M., area.

"It is a great time to be in trucking and the energy business," said Mike Hinz, Schneider vice president. "We are excited to grow this part of our business and excited about the excellent career opportunities we'll be providing local residents. Schneider is one of the strongest, most stable trucking companies in North America, and our company is built on the service and professionalism our drivers exhibit on every load, every day."

In addition to a comprehensive benefits package, Schneider drivers will enjoy hauling no-touch freight for just one customer, which yields predictability and familiarity with the business, the customer team, and the delivery locations and routes.

Experienced drivers and recent truck driving school graduates (tuition reimbursement is available) with a valid Class A Commercial Driver's License are eligible. Tanker and Haz Mat endorsements are required.

In addition to these positions, Schneider is hiring company drivers and leasing owner-operators in its Regional, Over the Road and Intermodal fleets.
