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 valuable feedback, ensuring optimal results and functionality. Ultimately, the feedback helped create a user-friendly experience that saves owner-operators time and simplifies their path to success. Schneider FreightPower connects Van Truckload owner-operators doing business with Schneider to easy-to-use technology that helps them efficiently operate their businesses and meet their goals.
