Truckload carrier and logistics provider Schneider National Inc., Greenbay, Wis., announced that its Home Run program is a success.
Home Run is an alternative work arrangement that offers drivers a more predictable work schedule and increased time at home.
The program has gained popularity with company drivers and driver recruits and is a component of Schneider National's ongoing work-life improvement initiatives. In February 2005 Schneider implemented the largest compensation and work-life improvement package in the company's 70-year history.
The innovative Home Run program consists of "pods" of three drivers or driving teams that live near each other and share two tractors. A driver, or team, gets one week at home, while the other two run. Each driver receives a personal calendar in advance that identifies their weeks at home for one year. Home Run drivers enjoy 17 weeks at home per year, relatively unheard of in the industry.
Currently, more than 250 of Schneider's 15,500 drivers participate in the Home Run program, with the expectation that the program will grow to 500 by the end of 2005.
