Here’s how safe Schneider drivers actually are

Safety isn’t just a buzzword at Schneider. It’s a way of life, and the statistics prove it.

During the last year, Schneider drivers drove enough safe (accident-free) miles to go to the moon and back — 3,496 times. Dwell on that for a second.

Amazingly, that number isn’t even representative of the whole fleet. Not even close. It only accounts for drivers in the Million Mile Club and those who have received Consecutive Safe Driving honors for at least 10 safe years in a row. Imagine how many more figurative trips to the moon and back were made by the other 84 percent of Schneider’s safe fleet. Again: 3,496 times safely to the moon and back, just last year, by the top 16 percent of the fleet. Mind blowing.

Most motorists can’t even fathom a million miles, so let’s put it in perspective. Say you have a 10-mile commute to work each day, 20 miles there and back. With weekends, holidays and a few vacation days thrown in, let’s say you make that round trip 250 days a year. Now, maintain that commute schedule for 200 years and you have a million miles.

Obviously most motorists drive more than just their commute, but the point remains: if you perfectly followed the above theoretical example (and lived longer than anyone on the planet), you’d match an achievement already reached by 1,233 Schneider drivers.

Maybe even more incredibly, 1,247 Big Orange drivers have driven for 10 or more consecutive years without a preventable accident or any injury that results in 24 hours or more off work.

That includes urban driving, winter driving, construction zone driving and rush hour driving. You name the hazard, the terrain, the situation — Schneider Consecutive Safe Driving award-winning drivers have conquered it safely, for at least 10 straight years.

There you have it: proof that safety isn’t just a Schneider buzzword. Considering Schneider has more than 11,000 truck drivers who collectively travel an average of 7.6 million miles every day — every single day — safety has to be a way of life.
