The carrier honors award earners who achieved millions of safe miles and decades of safe driving

Schneider National, Inc. (NYSE: SNDR), a premier multimodal provider of transportation, intermodal and logistics services, proudly acknowledges the exceptional safety-related career milestones of nearly 200 drivers. These responsible professionals exemplify safety excellence, serving thousands of customers across millions of miles without a single preventable accident.

Schneider’s annual recognition program celebrates drivers who have earned Million Mile Driver Awards, Consecutive Safe Driving Awards and induction into the company’s prestigious Haul of Fame.

This year, five extraordinary drivers achieved a notable milestone: four million safe driving miles. To put this achievement into perspective, together they have circumnavigated the globe more than 800 times. These accomplished drivers now join an exclusive group of only a dozen others who have previously reached this significant mark in the company’s history.

“Whether they’re first-time award recipients or seasoned safe driving award winners, we appreciate each driver’s dedication to our values,” said Schneider President and CEO Mark Rourke. “In particular, we commend Jon Shackleford, Michael Barnette, Daniel Dailey, Curt Fields and Wayne Lovinella, who each achieved an astounding four million safe driving miles. Drivers serve as ambassadors of both Schneider and the customers we represent, and these superstars represent excellence in action.”

Million Mile Driver

The Million Mile Driver Award is earned by Schneider drivers who have transported freight over 1 million miles and remained accident free. Safe miles accumulate annually based on shipment miles driven without preventable accidents. In 2023, 92 drivers either joined the ranks or reached a new milestone, including the five who reached the impressive mark of four million safe miles.

Consecutive Safe Driving

Additionally, 82 drivers earned a Consecutive Safe Driving Award by remaining accident-free for a milestone number of years. This award recognizes drivers who have reached at least 10 consecutive years without a preventable accident, and it is given for each five-year increment thereafter.

Haul of Fame

Drivers who accumulated three million safe driving miles or 20 consecutive years of safe driving without a preventable accident earn the exclusive honor of being added to Schneider’s Haul of Fame. To permanently honor the recipients, plaques with their names are installed on the Haul of Fame wall at the Corporate Business Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This year, 32 drivers met the criteria for the first time or had their plaques updated to reflect a higher-level award.

As of the end of 2023, Schneider boasts nearly 1,000 active company drivers who have received either the Million Mile Driver Award or the Consecutive Safe Driving Award. Their commitment to safety continues to set the standard in the industry.
