Both the entities worked together over the last year to align technology, sales, operations, and customer teams in a bid to brace up for the service change.

It is also part of Schneider’s strategy to double its intermodal size by 2030 besides continuing to lower its carbon footprint.

As a result of the partnership between the Union Pacific and CSX networks, Schneider can now access more rail lanes and direct connections on transcontinental freight.

Schneider transportation and logistics group president and executive vice president Jim Filter said: “The combination of more coast-to-coast connections and being the first fully asset-based carrier with company drivers, company-owned containers, and company-owned chassis to operate on the railroad will result in more consistent service and less time in transit.”
