Schneider National, a provider of transportation, logistics and intermodal services, is consolidating its network of primary rail providers and simplifying its container-trailer pool operations to improve intermodal service.
Schneider Intermodal will utilize BNSF Railway and CSX Intermodal as primary rail providers; BNSF will serve as the primary Western rail provider, and CSXI will serve as the primary Eastern rail provider.
The new agreements provide Schneider customers with preferential loading, capacity and operational interfaces that will increase accessibility and efficiency of rail moves.
Schneider will maintain secondary relationships with other Class I railroads to reach markets not served by BNSF and CSXI.
Schneider is moving to one standard intermodal container for rail moves for customers. The use of a single Schneider-owned container will simplify container pools while creating operational efficiencies in areas of network management and operations. Trade on flat car will continue as a Schneider intermodal offering for those who value a premium faster intermodal transit.
