Schneider’s new intermodal service to link Southeast US and Mexico

Schneider National, a logistics firm, is introducing an intermodal service that will provide continuous rail connectivity between Mexico, Texas, and the Southeastern US.

Schneider Executive Vice President Jim Filter said: “This represents a major leap forward in our industry combining the best-in-class service of two renowned railroads, and it will transform the intermodal landscape.

“Our customers can now enjoy unparalleled efficiency and reliability in their supply chains. It will be especially useful for shippers looking to diversify their transportation solutions and support and fortify nearshoring strategies.”

This new service, set to commence in December, is facilitated by the recent collaboration between CSX and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC).

CSX Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Kevin Boone said: “By leveraging the strengths of our combined networks, we are able to provide customers with unparalleled efficiency, reliability and security in their supply chains. This service strengthens our commitment to delivering sustainable, innovative transportation solutions that support the evolving needs of our customers.”

Schneider, a customer of both CSX and CPKC, aims to offer shippers a competitive edge traditionally reliant on over-the-road transport.
