Schneider FreightPower platform offers new opportunities for owner-operators

Schneider National is enhancing how it conducts business with owner-operators with its Schneider FreightPower platform. The newly expanded, updated platform offers owner-operators more access to Schneider’s range of freight options. It also includes easy-to-use functionality and search features designed to provide flexibility and help supercharge the owner-operator's business operations.

The Schneider FreightPower platform offers owner-operators the following opportunities to generate revenue and strengthen their business:

• Increased access to freight: Owner-operators now have access to more of Schneider’s expansive freight offerings, including traditional owner-operator loads and other freight managed by Schneider.
• Enhanced features: Accessible on any device, the platform provides detailed load information, favorite searches, and reload options for better planning and fewer deadheads.
• High drop and hook rate: More than 95% of the freight opportunities available to owner-operators on the platform are drop and hook shipments, which can help them increase their efficiency and productivity.
• Trip planning: Loads posted will now show road miles, a user-friendly change that can help owner-operators perform more accurate trip planning.

“Collaborating with owner-operators is an important component in the success of our business and the reliable service we can provide customers, which is why the network has grown tremendously in the last 25 years,” said John Bozec, Schneider SVP and GM of truckload and Mexico. "We want to invest in tools that support owner-operators in running and growing their businesses. With Schneider FreightPower, they gain access to better load management, increasing their productivity and revenue potential.”

Schneider began testing this new facet of FreightPower with a pilot group of owner-operators already active on the platform. This approach enabled Schneider to collect feedback, ensuring optimal results and functionality.
