In what appears to be the opening salvo in what could be a battle of truckload carriers seeking to hang on to and increase their driver base, truckload carrier Schneider National this week announced a pay increase.
Schneider’s disclosure was not in a press release. Rather, it was on a webpage on the company’s homepage.
“It feels to me that others will follow Schneider’s lead, but I haven’t heard or seen other similar announcements,” one source said of the move, requesting anonymity.
