They went from for sale in late 2023, to "we purchased cowan" in 2024. That's wild

Stop buying up smaller companies

HELL THEY ARE STILL GOING TO HAVE LOW PAID DANGEROUS DRIVERS 😂😂😂😂

Schneider doesn't pay well

With the little profit there is in trucking anymore smaller fleets either sell or go out of business

That's far too much debt for Schneider to take on. They'll probably be history in five years.

I quit driving trucks a month ago and ive never felt better.

Swift has been buying up companies large and small for decades.

Well management is going to pat themselves on the back, and give themselves another huge bonus while their drivers are still making pennies on the dollar. I feel like these companies can pay drivers more than 60 cents per mile if they have the ability to spend hundreds of millions on deals such as this.

Doesn’t matter to me, I knew someone that worked there, I’m no longer a trucker, did it for 25 years.

What? "Schneider is a publicly traded company"... When did that happen? I used to work for Schneider back in the early '90's, and back then it was a bragging point that Schneider was privately owned by the founders son. Schneider and JB Hunt were the largest OTR carriers in the U.S. Yes, that was 30 years ago and yes, I heard about the passing of Don Schneider some years ago. I also heard that his family didn't want to continue running the business. These reasons do not explain why the first or second largest OTR carrier would become publicly traded.

Cowans local drivers in va only make 24$ and hour, they hired me but I never went, 🫡 they Don’t pay enough here but good luck not everyone wants to work at a mega carrier

Alax! You are on top of it again! Give drivers the knowledge to decide what's best for them! You are the best, your dad is proud!😊

@43McLovely-2 After being there 11 years that's how I lost my job. They rented a drop lot from another trucking company. I walked in there office on a Tuesday and secretary said sorry to see you go. I said sorry to see me go I'm not going anywhere. She said Cowan ended there lease for drop lot because they lost contract for company I was working out of. I called my dispatcher and asked are they closing this yard terminal, he said no. Where did you get that from we are here to stay. That Friday came they said make sure you clean all your stuff out truck. That Saturday they had a bunch of driver ride up from Baltimore and took all the tractors. That next Monday they told us terminal was closed but we could keep our jobs if we drove to another terminal that was 1½ hours away. I was a local driver then. Driving 3 hours to and from work after doing a 12-14 hour day every day wasn't happening when gas prices were $5.00 a gallon. I asked them could I just take my tractor home and they said no. So all us drivers filed for unemployment until we found something else. After working for them a 11 years they denied our unemployment claims. I filed against it and won because any job that moves 45 minutes away was considered hardship miles and they didn't give us 30 days notice that terminal was closing. Cowan treated us like a stepchild. 😡😡😡😡😡😡

Schneider is cheap as f*** Sorry for cowan drivers

One stupid fool

Well, good luck Cowan guys.....these mega carriers and their monopolies is tiring.

I went through all the b/s required to salvage my CDL with SAP and Clearinghouse getting a violation in 11/2021 over 3 yrs ago. Now after all the expense, stressfulness, and misrepresentation. I can’t even find a decent company willing to hire me. As soon as I mention clearinghouse or SAP Program they avoid me like the plague. I have several years experience with no moving violations/accidents, every possible endorsement, running reefers in 11 western states. I can’t even find someone to at least give me a list of SAP friendly companies willing to give me a chance. The SAP Counselor stated once I complete the RTD and stipulated random drug tests everything will go away like it never even happened. I beg to differ it’s been 3 year’s ago. I found out once completed it’s 5 year’s from date of initial violation, so I still have 2 more year’s before it’s gone. All I want is the opportunity to RTD (return to duty) being eligible to operate having completed the process. Instead I’m waiting 5 years to get hired probably because insurance companies don’t want the trucking companies to hire us. Regardless of DOT/Clearinghouse rules and regulations just try and get a decent driver job even though with completion you’re deemed able to return to service. Prove me wrong and would somebody at least tell me where I can find a list of companies that will hire ex-SAP drivers! Thanks G. Wright #N0770229

NO DECENT WHITE MAN WOULD EVER DRIVE FOR EITHER ONE

Schneider is pretty nasty company ,

Cowan drivers good luck. Schneider might require u a sleep apnea test and hopefully they keep their drivers rolling.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 I worked 11 years at Cowan and we had about 500 drivers then. It was like family but the bigger it got the worse it got. Back then you were known by your name then you were just known by a number. They did a lot of family stuff, they would rent out whole Cal Ripton baseball field. Whole family could come and they would have team baseball games, haunted house, free food,crabs, shrimp and beer. The bigger they got it all ended. They bought new trucks every three years and had contract with Volvo & Peterbilt. They would get new trucks under there Cowan leasing company then lease trucks back to company. I know Mr Joe Cowan is rolling over in his grave that they sold company.

POS coyotes and traffickers.

Yes dash cameras have been used for years now

I work for Contract Freighters Incorporated CFI. AND Heartland Express bought us as a sister company but controls the purse springs and policies are changing left and right even though we are supposed to be our own entity. So I wouldn’t trust them as far I could throw them. And we are leaving CFI in 3 days to go somewhere else.

This country doesn't need more merger and acquisitions. Way too much consolidation in every area of our economy, including trucking.

No wonder schneider rates are garbage. Peak season and they are paying 1.5 pm crazy weights too. Gtfoh.

I'm out if I wanted to drive for Schneider I would went and work for Schneider ✌️

I've seen truck's and cars like this. Rolling horder.

I thought we were in a freight recession? 🤔

Dang

My father drove a truck for Shcider and said they treated truckers like hell.

I’m confused you cannot have no alcohol in your vehicle even if it’s in the trunk of the car just after you went to the store it’s not making any sense to me

WTF 390M they just acquired othani and they're saying there's no money

its just a bunch of investors trying to buy out as many trucking companies as possible to be the biggest transport in America. more money for investors, nothing big for drivers I know the feeling. I'm working for a company that has purchased over 6 companies. doesn't help me to make more money, its more money for investors.

Sounds like big money growing into new geographic markets. Possibly existing drivers pay structure will go into flat rate piece work regardless of actual time spent in doing pickups n deliveries @ ports.😢😢😢😢😢

If I owned a factory,I would not load my freight on any big trucking company.

This is so messed up they did all that hiring just to sell out to these guys I feel for there drivers cause they about to be without a job if they don’t drive like a computer

Seems like all the mega companies are buying up the smaller ltl companies

Schneider is known for their “Dedicated Accounts” and they over estimate the pay you will earn vs reality of what’s deposited. Hopefully Cowan will continue on with Cowan ways of driver earnings, logistics, and schedules. If I were CEO of Schneider I would be concerned about Cowan or Schneider drivers unionizing when said drivers are not paid well at or above yearly compensation national averages.

Well, they're closed. Don't believe a word Schinder says. Watkins sheaperd drivers were told, nothing will change... shop, dispatch and man office were closed within 30 days. Run while you have the chance

Owner sold out his employees to get rich

Best of luck for their drivers. Snider recruited at the school I went to. It's OK for some. Not for me. For quality of life. There are other options.

We’re Independent Contract Owner Operators with Schneider National. We were employ drivers with Schneider first. We are Pro-Schnieder. Great company to work for. They purchased MLS earlier this year and are getting Brand New Freightliners sleepers for MLS. Schnieder takes care of their employees. ❤❤

Almost every time a mega-carrier buys a smaller competitor, the world changes and everything goes to crap. I went thru that eight years ago. I left shortly after, along with 85% of the rest of the company employees. Took less than six months for everyone to get gone.

Stopping for a 30min lunch break is on duty?

My pho is smelling fine

Schneider corp treats the drivers very well. The driver school is first class.
