SCHNEIDER OFFERS ACCELERATE MOBILE APP ENABLING 

DRIVERS TO PICK, MANAGE THEIR OWN FREIGHT 

Everyone is finding innovative 

ways to make mobile devices 

work harder to increase performance 

and productivity in their 

businesses. 

Recognizing the power of mobile, 

Schneider, one of the nation’s largest 

truckload carriers, has created Accelerate, 

an optional mobile app designed for 

owner-operators who want to maximize 

the efficiency and profitability of their 

businesses. 

Since its launch last year, owner-operators 

who lease their businesses with 

Schneider have found the app invaluable, 

said Shaleen Devgun, executive vice 

president and chief information officers at 

Schneider. 

Accelerate provides numerous features 

on mobile devices, including: 

• Load Board. This feature enables 

owner-operators and fleet owners to pick 

their own freight from Schneider’s freight 

base, manage their freight and plan tours 

to maximize revenue. 

• Find My Trailer. Leveraging Schneider’s 

network of approximately 38,000 

GPS-connected trailers, the Find My Trailer 

feature maps the location of the closest 

available trailer with pinpoint accuracy, a 

time-saver for owner-operators locating a 

trailer. 

• Settlement Statement. This feature 

provides owner-operators with access to, 

and a clear view of, mileage and accessori-

als, plus the percentage of revenue associated 

with each load. 

• Selected Load Detail. Information on 

selected loads is at the owner-operators’ 

fingertips, including pickup and drop information, 

appointment times, references, 

commodities and rates. 

Owner-operators are reminded to log 

out of the app and turn off their phones 

before getting behind the wheel. 

“Accelerate provides owner-operators 

with mobile access to our industry-leading 

Quest platform,” Devgun said. “The 

features in this release allow owner-operators 

to maximize revenue while enabling 

freedom to manage their businesses using 

a mobile app that promotes safety, our 

number-one core value. Ultimately, Accelerate 

enhances their overall business rela- 


TECH 

tionship with Schneider.” 

The app is currently 

available for download in 

the Google Play store for 

Android users and Apple 

App Store for iPhone and 

iPad users. Schneider 

will continue to add new 

features and functions, 

expanding the resources 

that Accelerate offers inside 

and outside the cab. 

Owner-operators can 

visit schneiderowneroperators.com 

for more information 

on the carrier. 

They can also watch a 

short video that shows 

the app’s features and services at youtube/

The Rolling Strong health and wellness mobile app 

for IOS and Android devices offers many features. 

Rolling Strong, a provider 

of driver wellness programs 

for transportation companies 

and their drivers as well as 

owner-operators, has formed a 

partnership to provide healthcare 

services to truck drivers 

using the eTrueNorth network 

of local pharmacies through 

the Rolling Strong health and 

wellness platform. 

“This partnership will take 

the traditional on-site screening 

process that wellness companies 

typically coordinate and 

provide a new level of accessibility 

by giving professional 

drivers a screening and health 

services destination while on 

the road,” said Stephen Kane, 

Rolling Strong’s president. 

“Screenings will not only be 

provided through our mobile 

network, but the information 

is stored for the driver in their 

Rolling Strong personal health 

portal, giving them an opportunity 

to work with our CDL 

wellness coaches to prepare 

for their next DOT medical 

exam.” 

With the addition of eTrue- 

North to the Rolling Strong 

mobile app and health and wellness 

platform, drivers can take 

advantage of healthcare screening 

services at local pharmacies 

across the U.S. eTrueNorth
