Schneider National Inc., the nation's largest truckload provider, will host a job fair to hire 150 new professional truck drivers in Greater Memphis, Tenn.

The event will be held Tuesday, May 23, at Schneider's Operating Center in West Memphis, Ark. The company's growth in the region is fueled by new business and expanding relationships with clients, including two Fortune 500 companies.
Schneider National plans to hire experienced and inexperienced drivers for regional and over the road positions at the event and will continue to accept inquiries and applications via its online job site, www.schneiderjobs.com, or by calling 800-44-PRIDE (800-447-7433).
Schneider offers a broad range of employment options for drivers, including weekly and bi-weekly runs. Newly-hired drivers in the Memphis, Tenn., area will work for several different divisions, which offer employment options that are designed to meet individual lifestyles and varying time-at-home needs. An example is the company's Home Run program, which consists of "pods" of three driving teams that live near each other and share two tractors. A driver, or team, gets one week at "home" while the other two drivers "run." Under the program, drivers spend 17 weeks at home per year, meeting driver requests for improved work-life balance.
Schneider National offers a comprehensive, company-provided training program. Inexperienced drivers are encouraged to apply for the new positions and will earn an average of $34,500-$42,500 in their first year. Experienced drivers will earn an average of $48,500-$57,500 per year. Owner-operators leasing with Schneider National will average $105,000-$115,000 annually.
In 2005, Schneider announced the largest compensation and work-life improvement package in its 70-year history. In addition, Schneider enjoyed its safest year on record and invested significantly in its equipment to deliver the newest fleet in company history.
