Truckload carrier Schneider National said Monday it is hiring 300 truck drivers in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico for its growing dedicated and bulk tanker divisions.

Schneider National Inc., the nation’s largest privately held truckload carrier, said that it plans to hire 2,000 more drivers this year — one of the most aggressive hiring drives in its 75-year history and an expansion that by itself would place the company among the 100 largest for-hire trucking fleets.
