Schneider’s Commitment to Women in Trucking

The award celebrates companies that create supportive work environments, offer competitive benefits, and prioritize career development. Schneider excels by employing women in approximately 13% of driver roles—almost double the industry average—and filling 40% of leadership positions with women.

Schneider has also made strides in traditionally male-dominated fields, with a notable increase in women diesel technicians joining its maintenance shops in 2024.

“Being consistently named a Top Company for Women to Work in Transportation is a true testament to our ongoing efforts at Schneider to create a workplace where everyone can excel. Schneider has made a commitment to being a responsible company that fosters an environment where associates feel safe, supported, and empowered to share their creativity and ideas.” – Angela Fish, Schneider’s Executive Vice President of Human Resources

The honor is validated by an industry-wide vote, with more than 31,000 transportation professionals—including drivers, executives, and HR specialists—participating in the process. 

Employee Testimonials from Schneider

Jess Martin, who joined Schneider in 2022 as a driver recruiting specialist and later transitioned to the corporate legal team as a paralegal, emphasized the company’s inclusive culture.

“This is a space where I can say what I think and feel, which is what keeps me here,” Martin shared. “It’s nice to be at a company where diversity—not just as a woman or as a person of color, but as an individual with a different experience—is welcome.”

Mildred Wells-Toney, a driver and U.S. Army National Guard service member, also praised Schneider’s culture. “I applied to Schneider Intermodal in 2017 when I wanted to improve my career prospects. I wasn’t looking for Intermodal, but I love it. Schneider has a good thing going on. I can be home every day, and I believe the safety program is good, too.”
