I have been in the industry for 25+ years and have seen many changes. The one thing that has been consistent throughout the years is that the driver is the most important part of the supply chain that brings the goods to the people across this great land. We are excited to bring new drivers in to a company where they will truly be valued and treated like a person instead of just a number.
We know we have great opportunities and a lot to offer drivers and can't wait to bring them into our family. I used to catch a ride to college on one of my dad's trucks; heading over with a load of ice cream going to Georgia and catching a ride back with a load of chickens to northwest Iowa. I've always appreciated the hard working people that move America.

This is a great place to work,they treat you like family and when I say they look after the drivers I mean they do. Great mony and you feel loved. They call you by your name and you feel part of the team. I've driven for quit a few companies and this is the best one. All companies should take note to this one

I have been here for well over a year now and I can honestly say this is the best company I have worked for! Unless I was to go local I don’t see myself going anywhere anytime soon. I have a good relationship with my dispatcher. They run me very hard but legal. .62 cpm at the time of this review, My miles generally range between 2800 to 4000, less on a home week. Pay usually ranges for me from 1200 to 1700 net after taxes, deductions and Insurance (Single). The equipment is well maintained and taken care of. I have only had an issue with a dropped trailer 3 or 4 times in a year and it was usually

Been here a while with no issues. Dispatchers run you hard, but legal in my experience. Have a feeling some of these negative reviews stem from people not fully understanding HOS and sitting on duty for 3 hours in a dock instead of splitting, etc.
I average 3000 miles a week, home on time, and haven’t been babysat by any office staff. Not sure what the guy meant by ‘expecting too much out of potential drivers’. Their requirements are to have basic physical capability and be able to chain up and run a truck efficiently. Not sure why people would come to a 48 state reefer company out of NW

I've spent over 2 years here and will retire here. Great equipment. All disk brakes in tractors and trailers. The safety of the people out there, and the driver is important. I have friends in every department here. I went over the road to better my life. It was a long, hard journey from where I came from. When I came here, I had a Dream. That was about it. I came from poverty and hunger. Driving a truck was a job to me. I didn't understand credit at all. I now have career and credit to go along with my dreams.

Had a great recruiter. Company itself though holds itself to much too high of expectations for potential drivers. The recruiting process started out simple, and then ended in them clambering through everything in my entire life, family history, etc lol. In the end, I said the heck with it because they obviously expected the world's perfect driver as a new hire, and what they offer will never bring that. Went somewhere else where they were glad to have me, and make way more than what they offered. I only gave 2 stars because the recruiter was legitimate in trying to get me hired, and likely would

I've been with Schuster since July 22, 2020 and I'm VERY happy driving for them. I've been a trucker since October 1991 and I've been around. I do "Over The Road" for them and they work with me so I feel I'm always moving but not overwhelmed. The equipment need a few trips to the shop "off and on" and now everything is great. Great equipment especially compared to other companies. Like any other place if the previous driver didn't right things up you'll have too. They have large tractor shop, a large trailer shop and a wash bay. They continuously keep the trailers clean every time they come in

I've worked here for about a month now, they've got the best equipment of any company I've worked for. You can tell the tractors are well kept, the trailers are high end and reliable and the respect from dispatch that drivers get is top notch too. I would recommend any long haul driver looking for a new gig to consider Schuster. I plan to stay for many years, I wish I had found this place a couple years ago.

Very good company, I worked here for a year. They put you in brand new equipment and they take care of their drivers. Great pay also, I never had a problem until they tried to get me to run an overweight load and that’s when our relationship went left. I love the small company feel and Shawn P. Is amazing, I love her.

Not sure why are the bad reviews. Probably from the driver not doing his/her job correctly. I worked their 2 different times. Never had any problems. Made plenty of money. I was getting 2800 to 3000 miles a week. They take good care of their trucks. Office and shop staff were always nice to me. It's just this simple, get hired on with a company, do your part and they will treat you well.
