Schneider to expand oil tanker fleet

Green Bay-based Schneider National, one of the nation’s largest trucking companies, is hiring 300 more professional truck drivers in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico for its growing Dedicated and Bulk (tanker) divisions.
The company’s growth in the area is fueled by new, booming business with leading energy companies in the oil industry.
Drivers will use either dry hopper tankers to deliver products into, or liquid tankers hauling condensate from, the oil extraction areas. Average earnings for the full-time, permanent positions will be $40,800 to $60,500 per year.
Most of the positions will provide daily time at home.
Specific areas in Texas in need of drivers include Alice, Laredo, Victoria, Midland and San Antonio, as well as the Oklahoma regions of Elk City and El Reno. In addition, drivers are being sought in the Hobbs, N.M., area.
"It is a great time to be in trucking and the energy business," said Mike Hinz, Schneider vice president. "We are excited to grow this part of our business and excited about the excellent career opportunities we’ll be providing local residents. Schneider is one of the strongest, most stable trucking companies in North America, and our company is built on the service and professionalism our drivers exhibit on every load, every day."
