SCHNEIDER TESTS NEW TEAM ROTATION PLAN
Schneider National, based in Green Bay, Wis., is testing its new Home Run program.
It is a work rotation that consists of “pods” of three drivers or driver teams living near each other and sharing two tractors. In any given week, two teams will be driving and one team resting, so that each team gets as much as 17 weeks at home per year.
