Schneider proud to sponsor Drowsy Driving Prevention Week®

Carrier promotes safety by teaming up with The National Sleep Foundation

GREEN BAY, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Schneider (NYSE: SNDR), a premier multimodal provider of transportation, intermodal and logistics services, is proud to announce the company will be an official sponsor of the National Sleep Foundation’s Drowsy Driving Prevention Week®.

The 15th annual Drowsy Driving Prevention Week kicked off this week, days after most Americans turned their clocks back an hour, disrupting their sleep schedules.

Schneider is an industry leader in safety, with a commitment to safety first and always. The company is focused on providing its drivers with the training and information to do their job safely, protecting themselves and the motoring public.

“Anyone getting behind the wheel has a responsibility to those around them to be alert and focused. Drowsy Driving Prevention Week reminds everyone to get the sleep they need, especially before driving,” said Schneider Vice President of Safety, Driver Training and Compliance Tom DiSalvi. “Getting proper sleep is of the utmost importance before driving.”

The National Sleep Foundation recommends 7-9 hours of sleep per night for most adults, especially the night before hitting the road.

“By getting the sleep you need you can help keep yourself and others safe on the road,” said DiSalvi.

This year’s campaign theme Sleep First, Drive Alert emphasizes the National Sleep Foundation’s goal to have every driver get the proper amount of sleep before they get behind the wheel of a vehicle.

For over 30 years, the National Sleep Foundation, a nonprofit organization, has been the voice of sleep health for the public – educating people about the importance of sleep and its effect on overall health and well-being.
