Schneider Extends Intermodal Contract with CSX
Schneider National said Tuesday it signed a new, multiyear agreement with CSX Transportation under which the railroad will serve as one of Schneider’s primary rail providers.
The agreement sets the stage for CSX providing sustained, long-term service within the Eastern United States as Schneider’s intermodal freight volume continue to increase.
CSX became Schneider’s primary Eastern rail provider in 2008, and since then the two have continued to enhance their performance to deliver “truck-like” service to shippers.
The deal provides Schneider’s customers with capacity and access to preferential loading in some circumstances to increase accessibility and efficiency of rail moves.
“The expansion of our relationship with CSX will create a strong foundation for Schneider Intermodal’s continued growth,” said Bill Matheson, Schneider’s president of intermodal services.
Schneider National, Green Bay, Wis., is ranked No. 6 on the Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
