Schneider Part-time (flexible Schedule)

Schneider National mentions part-time driver opportunities on its website. What do you know about this option? Anyone doing it or has done it?

I too am thinking of part time driving as a retirement job. Probably full time at first for a year to learn driving, then go part time.

I met with a Schneider recruiter at one of their Denver career events and asked him about if they expected all of their drivers to always work full time and drive hard.

Told him about how I am considering working some seasonal fun jobs mixed with part-time truck driving.

He said no problem, they have many part timers.

I thought he did say though, that you do have to drive a minimum of 6 days a month to be an active driver.

Also: If you are researching less than full time driving options........check out "Knight Transportation" jobs for your area.

When I search Knights' Denver area jobs, it lists their Western 11 State Dedicated job info, that offers various different home time scheduals to choose from, like 1 to 4 days on, 1 to 4 days off.... in any combination, 7 or 14 days on then 7 days off.....a nice mix of non-full time options.

Location is going to be key in finding part time trucking jobs. For most of the country they are non-existent, but here and there you may find something. Usually they are available to experienced drivers only.

I know of one part time driver with Schneider she was actually one of the drivers I talked to when I was researching. She worked during the week driving a school bus and on the weekend she drove for Schneider on one of their dedicated Wal-Mart accounts. She only worked one or 2 days a week depending on how much money she needed but she made it work for her. Roehl Transport has the home time fleets that might be considered part time like 7/7 fleet. Those are the only 2 that I personally know of.

I know TransAm Trucking has what they call "casual" drivers which are day cabs. Not entirely sure what they do but I know they shuttle trailers in the Kansas City area. I do believe these positions are only open to experienced drivers.

If you are looking for flexible hometime options you might also check into Roehl as they have various options like Knight Transportation mentioned above.
