Schneider National Inc., one of North America's largest trucking companies, is wooing its drivers with pay upgrades and training programs. The company announced November 24 that it is offering its drivers average annual pay increases between $1,500 and $2,500 per year for solo drivers and between $3,500 and $4,500 per year for team drivers, depending on experience levels. Solo owner operators will receive an increase in annual compensation of $2,500 to $3,500 while team owner operators will receive $3,500 to $4,500 more annually.

"Schneider National's drivers and owner operators are our company's greatest assets," said Scott Arves, president of transportation for Schneider National Inc. "This new pay package is meant to show our support and appreciation for the important work company drivers and owner operators perform on behalf of our customers each day."

Schneider National has more than 15,000 drivers and owner operators serving North America. The company plans to add an additional 1,000 drivers and owner operators in 2004 to service its extensive customer base.

Schneider National recently achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification and it regards its drivers as key to achieving the standards this certification promises to Schneider National customers.

"We have long held the belief that customer value is created through processes that ensure we will deliver what we promise," said Bill Matheson, Schneider National's VP and GM of truckload services. "ISO 9001:2000 certification aligns with our commitment to achieve the highest process performance through outstanding process design, the right people and the right environment."
