GREEN BAY, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Safety isn’t just a priority at Schneider; it’s the cornerstone of the company’s culture and operations. Today, Schneider National, Inc. (NYSE: SNDR), a premier multimodal provider of transportation, intermodal and logistics services, celebrates 220 drivers who have achieved unparalleled safety milestones, exemplifying its core value of Safety First and Always.

Setting the safety culture

Schneider attributes its safety success to its culture that empowers drivers, provides rigorous training at every stage of their career and includes cutting-edge technology. More specifically, the company has raised the bar with an industry-leading approach to:

• Fostering safety-centric values

  Schneider’s all-time low accident frequency is, in part, the result of a company culture that empowers drivers to make safe choices. Equipment and training are extremely important, but it’s the day-to-day interactions and actions that help make a difference as well. From leaders, to drivers, to maintenance technicians, Schneider has a consistent, values-driven approach to operating safely.
  

• Ongoing training

  Hands-on onboarding, safety analytics and innovative virtual reality tools help prepare drivers to handle challenging scenarios with confidence. Schneider believes learning is a lifelong endeavor, so whether a driver is new or has years of experience, they receive ongoing training.

  Schneider equips trucks with features like collision mitigation sensors, speed limiters, side guard assist for blind spots and lane departure warnings. Taken together, these innovations can help create a safer experience for drivers and the public alike.
