    Fuel

    By leasing their trucks to Schneider, and because they are hauling freight for one the largest trucking companies in North America, owner-operators and fleet owners get advantages with respect to fuel, such as discounts and other tools to help reduce costs at the pump.

    Fuel Surcharge Revenue
    • All-In Revenue Program (Van and Tanker owner-operators): Under this program, the fuel surcharge component is already included in your all-in rate.
    • Percentage Program (Van owner-operators): Owner-operators who choose this program receive 100% of fuel surcharge as posted on Schneider’s Choice Portal at the time the load is selected.
    • Mileage Program (Drayage owner-operators): Owner-operators on this program receive a straight fuel surcharge mileage rate based on the weekly Department of Energy (DOE) fuel average for the region in which the freight is hauled.
    Fuel discounts

    Schneider owner-operators and fleet owners can save thousands in fuel costs each year by using Schneider's truck stop network with at-the-pump discounts that are competitive with fleet discounts.

    Current fuel discounts include:

    • $.360 gallon discount at Pilot and Flying J

    • $.055/gallon discount at Kwik Trip, Petro, Love's and Travel Centers of America
    • $.10 additional discount on fuel purchased in California, Oregon, Arizona and Washington at Pilot and Flying J.
    Schneider-issued fuel card

    Schneider’s fuel card may help you better manage your cash flow. Purchase fuel and the cost will be taken out of your weekly settlement, rather than out of pocket. You still pay the fuel tax (IFTA), but Schneider will track and report your fuel tax records.

    Fuel optimizer

    Schneider’s free and optional fuel optimizer tool identifies the lowest-price fuel stops along your route so you know you’re getting the a great price every time you refuel.
