The Des Moines Operating Center relocated

The Des Moines Operating Center relocated to a Pilot (LQU67) June 1, 2007. Operations, One-way, Dedicated, and Driver Business Leaders (DBL) will now be on-site at the Pilot location.

Schneider has a separate entrance on the east side of the building where the office is located. The customer code of AJ488 will remain as the Des Moines operating center code. Directions have been updated. Once the security fence is installed, the code for drivers to get into the gate will be on the direction code information.
The following will be available at the Pilot location:
  • Secured parking for tractors, trailers, and personal vehicles. An area of the lot will be fenced off for Schneider parking and a key code (which will be added to the directions information) will be needed for entry. At this time, the fence is not fully constructed, however a security guard will be on-site until the fence and security is complete. This will NOT be a high value site.
  • All remedials will be available with one Operations Support Representative on-site. No spring or winter training will be offered except on a remedial basis - this includes Safe Track and Iowa CDLs.
  • Free coffee - Drivers will need to come into the office to pick up a coupon for free coffee.
  • Showers will be available. Drivers can obtain a coupon from the Operation group during office hours or by asking a clerk for a coupon (they will supply coupons at the fuel desk for Schneider drivers).

Drivers have until June 27, 2007 to remove personal vehicles from the Des Moines Operating Center parking lot. Operations support will be on-site to assist if needed.
The following driver supplies will be available during the office hours of 7am - 4pm.
