The move expands the company’s intermodal
services and gives customers a differentiated rail offering
Schneider (NYSE: SNDR), a premier multimodal provider of
transportation, intermodal and logistics services, completed the
transition of its western rail operations to Union Pacific Railroad
(NYSE: UNP), making it the largest company driver dray fleet on the
rail network.
Schneider’s intermodal operations on Union Pacific transitioned
seamlessly as the companies collaborated closely over the last year
to align operations, technology, sales and customer teams in
preparation for the service change. There was no disruption to
Schneider’s customers during the transition. The move is also a
pivotal step in the carrier’s plans to double its intermodal size
by 2030 and continue to reduce its carbon footprint.
The supply chain leader has one of the largest intermodal fleets
in North America, including more than 28,000 company-owned
containers which accompany a fully deployed company-owned chassis
fleet. Schneider now has access to more rail lanes as well as
direct connections on transcontinental freight due to the
partnership between the Union Pacific and CSX networks.
“We believe the move in the West means we can offer our
customers a distinct differentiator in the market,” said Schneider
Executive Vice President and Group President of Transportation and
Logistics Jim Filter. “The combination of more coast-to-coast
connections and being the first fully asset-based carrier with
company drivers, company-owned containers, and company-owned
chassis to operate on the railroad will result in more consistent
service and less time in transit. We see huge benefits with Union
Pacific to successfully deliver a positive service experience for
our customers and drivers.”
Schneider and Union Pacific are working collectively to improve
driver efficiency at terminals, further reducing delays in transit.
The railroad’s additional lane options and consistent rail
departure frequency provides customers with more options, better
reliability, and ultimately greater control over the supply
chain.
“This is the beginning of a partnership built on a shared
commitment to provide more sustainable intermodal services and
reduce our carbon footprints,” said Union Pacific Executive Vice
President of Marketing and Sales Kenny Rocker. “We look forward to
future growth as we leverage Union Pacific’s extensive network and
Schneider’s innovative logistics offerings to provide unparalleled
customer service.”
“In addition to offering our customers more possibilities, the
transition to Union Pacific is a crucial piece in furthering our
sustainability goals,” said Filter.
Moving freight by rail has significant environmental benefits.
One ton of freight can be moved 500 miles by rail on the equivalent
of a single gallon of fuel. Working with Union Pacific provides a
reduction in idling time and increased route optimization that
leads to a cut in vehicle emissions. Additionally, Schneider
announced in 2022 that it would be adding 92 battery electric
vehicles to its intermodal operations in southern California,
giving customers even more ways to cut emissions.
