Schneider National provides update on transition to CPKC rail network

Schneider National (SNDR) said its strategic transition to the CPKC rail network is paying off for customers using the increasingly in-demand trade routes through Mexico, as Schneider reports the average trip from Mexico to Chicago is up to three days faster than the industry average of seven days. Schneider is the only carrier that operates a single-rail cross-border intermodal solution. The company has rapidly grown its intermodal market share of cross-border freight between the United States and Mexico, while setting industry benchmarks in speed, security and reliability on the CPKC rail network. “Our cross-border objective isn’t just to move goods – it’s to move them smarter, faster and more securely,” said Schneider Senior Vice President of Intermodal Michael Baumgardt. “Decreasing shipping time by even a few days matters to our customers because the faster products can get on the shelves, the faster those items can land in the hands of consumers. No one matches our speed, our security or our reliability in this current environment.”
