Commitment to Safety

Safety is a priority and core value. As a responsible company, we provide our drivers with the technology, training and equipment to allow them to do their job safely.

Five drivers reached the impressive milestone of 4 million safe driving miles.

The Haul of Fame now includes 435 total inductees.

Schneider is the only company to ever receive all three National Safety Council's Green Cross for Safety Awards. Most recently winning the 2023 National Safety Council’s (NSC) Green Cross for Safety Advocate Award for our work piloting technology to combat impaired driving.

Train for safety

Schneider teaches and reinforces safe operations for everyone – from drivers and diesel technicians to office and warehouse associates. We employ a three-pronged approach to training, preparing new drivers and recertifying experienced drivers.

Investing in and implementing leading safety tools

From installing communication devices to help plan the drivers' routes, to outfitting all company trucks with collision mitigation sensors, to retrofitting our fleet with flashing amber lights, top-of-the-line sleep apnea screening and more, our focus is on protecting our associates, technicians and drivers along with the freight that we’re moving for our customers.

Supporting safe communities

We proudly support Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) and we haul a highly visible TAT branded trailer. We believe awareness is a key tool in combatting trafficking and our new drivers must complete training on identifying and reporting human trafficking as part of their onboarding.
