Schneider National, Inc (NYSE: SNDR), a leading provider of multimodal transportation, logistics and intermodal services, has launched Schneider Fast Track, a premium offering tailored for shipments requiring accelerated transit times and elevated service standards. Fast Track integrates Schneider’s large asset-based truckload and intermodal network with key rail partnerships to create some of the fastest and most dependable intermodal routes available today. These corridors have been selected based on performance consistency, speed and competitive advantages, allowing shippers to shift just-in-time, inter-plant and customer-critical freight from highway to rail while maintaining truck-like reliability and gaining additional capacity and cost benefits.
Early adoption of Schneider Fast Track is already showing measurable success for shippers. The service is delivering faster transit times—cutting up to two days off comparable intermodal options on key domestic and cross-border lanes. This accelerated performance is creating new opportunities for businesses with time-sensitive supply chain requirements.
In addition to faster transit, the service is maintaining a strong service standard with more than 95% on-time performance. This result is supported by priority rail placement and a dedicated planning approach designed to consistently keep freight moving.
Customers using Fast Track are also experiencing operational and financial benefits. The offering is helping reduce transportation spend, increase efficiency and strengthen cargo protection, giving shippers the speed and performance of truckload while retaining the cost and sustainability advantages of intermodal.
“Reliability sits at the heart of our business,” said Jim Filter, Executive Vice President and Group President of Transportation and Logistics at Schneider. “Fast Track delivers confidence with unmatched consistency and speed, backed by our professional drivers and a nationwide fleet of company-owned assets.”
The service is already supporting urgent automotive freight traveling from Mexico to major U.S. hubs including Chicago and Kansas City. As market demand increases, additional Fast Track lanes are being added to expand reach and create more capacity options for shippers.
Fast Track offers several key features, including high-performance lanes, priority rail handling, optimized drayage and expedited recovery practices to help prevent disruption. Shippers also gain around-the-clock visibility, flexible nationwide coverage and enhanced protection backed by a 99.99% theft-free record across the U.S. and Mexico in 2024.
“Fast Track is built for accuracy and control,” said Michael Baumgardt, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Intermodal. “It’s created for shippers where delays are simply not an option, offering dependable speed and complete oversight throughout the move.”
