Schneider rolls out new service for time-sensitive intermodal freight

Schneider National (CCJ Top 250, No. 6) has debuted a new solution designed for shippers with time-sensitive and high-service freight needs.

Schneider Fast Track is a premium service the carrier says combines Schneider’s asset-based truckload and intermodal capabilities with strategic rail partnerships "to create a network of some of the fastest, most consistent intermodal lanes in the industry, selected specifically for their proven competitive differentiation and transit consistency."

Previously available for time and service-sensitive automotive freight moving from Mexico to Kansas City, Chicago and beyond, Fast Track is now expanding to more lanes to meet growing demand.

“Fast Track is engineered for precision,” said Senior Vice President and General Manager of Intermodal Michael Baumgardt. “We designed this solution to meet the demands of shippers who can’t afford delays, offering speed, control and confidence across every mile.”

The company claims the service has already shown two days faster transit than competitors on key U.S. and Mexico lanes; a more than 95% on-time performance, backed by priority rail placement and dedicated planning; and lower costs, increased efficiency and enhanced security.

“Reliability is a cornerstone of our operations,” said Schneider Executive Vice President and Group President of Transportation and Logistics Jim Filter. “Fast Track gives shippers peace of mind with unmatched speed and consistency, supported by our professional drivers and robust nationwide network of company-owned assets.”
