Schneider National, Inc. announced the company is expanding intermodal service by moving its primary western United States rail partnership to Union Pacific beginning in 2023. Schneider has one of the intermodal fleets in North America with over 25,000 containers and plans to double the company's intermodal size by 2030. The company celebrated 30 years of intermodal service in 2021.

According to Schneider, the carrier saves 700 million pounds of CO2 annually by working with railroads that can move a ton of freight up to 500 miles on a single gallon of fuel. Schneider will have the company driver dray fleet of any intermodal carrier hauling freight on Union Pacific and the first carrier with both company-owned containers and chassis. With the combination of Schneider's eastern partnership with CSX, the transition will create more direct transcontinental connections for the company's customers.
