Schneider National has officially launched Schneider Fast Track, a high-service intermodal rail solution tailored for shippers with time-sensitive and high-service freight needs.
Fast Track combines Schneider’s existing truckload network with strategic rail partnerships, creating a streamlined intermodal service that delivers “truck-like” speed while leveraging the cost and capacity efficiency of rail.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Up to 2 days faster transit than competing intermodal options on core U.S.–Mexico lanes.
- 95%+ on-time performance, thanks to priority rail placement, dedicated planning, and optimized drayage.
- Lower costs + more security, offering intermodal reliability without sacrificing service quality; Schneider even touts 99.99% theft-free cargo record in U.S. & Mexico (2024).
- 24/7 tracking and proactive communication, via a specialized “Center of Excellence” to monitor and manage shipments.
- Flexible coverage, leveraging both rail and truck capacity across the Schneider-owned asset base.
According to Schneider, this service is already proving its value in just-in-time manufacturing, inter-plant freight, and customer-critical operations. Jim Filter, EVP at Schneider, emphasized that Fast Track gives shippers “peace of mind with unmatched speed and consistency.”
