Schneider Sets Fuel-Hauling Service

Truckload carrier Schneider National said Monday it has added fuel-hauling capabilities to its bulk hauling division.

The addition stemmed from the emergency fuel supply chain Schneider managed for the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Transportation during Hurricane Katrina recovery, the company said.

“Schneider hauled over 1.5 million gallons of diesel and provided drivers, supervision and dispatch services for the Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts,” said George Grossardt, vice president and general manager of Schneider’s bulk division.

Schneider’s fuel-hauling services will be offered in the Gulf Coast region and the upper Midwest, and it will explore expanding its fuel-hauling capacity to eastern states as well.
 
Schneider, ranked No. 8 on the Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers, also has logistics and intermodal operations.
