Schneider National Inc. will host a career fair to fill 100 professional truck driving positions.
Schneider is looking for drivers within a 75-mile radius of DeWitt, Iowa, including the Quad Cities, Clinton, Dubuque and Maquoketa. The move results from what Schneider described as an expanding relationship with Guardian Industries, a glass manufacturer.
Schneider said it plans to hire 100 over-the-road drivers and owner-operators over the next 30 days. Most will work for Schneider National’s Specialized division hauling flat glass from Guardian’s DeWitt manufacturing plant. Drivers will also be hired to serve other accounts in the region, including Family Dollar in Maquoketa. Schneider drivers will deliver to customers primarily in the Midwestern U.S.
Schneider National offers a company-paid training program. Inexperienced drivers are encouraged to apply and will earn an average of $30,500-$39,500 in their first year. Experienced drivers will earn an average of $43,500-$54,000 per year. Owner-operators leasing with Schneider National will average $135,000-$145,000 annually.
Representatives from Schneider National will be on-site at the free career fair on Thursday, March 3, 2005, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Convention Center, 5202 Brady Street in Davenport, Iowa. Presentations about the company and employment opportunities will be held at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Career fair attendees may complete applications and participate in face-to-face interviews the same day. Both pre-registered guests and walk-ins are welcome to attend. A Schneider National truck will be on display for viewing and demonstrations and light refreshments will be served.
Interested individuals are encouraged to attend the career fair. Call 800-44-PRIDE (800-447-7433), or visit www.schneiderjobs.com for more information.
