Schneider National, Inc. has announced a new intermodal service connecting Mexico and Texas with key destinations across the Southeastern United States. This continuous rail service, scheduled to begin in December, aims to provide shippers with a reliable alternative to traditional road transport, especially on the Mexico-Southeast route. The new lane results from a recently established collaboration between rail carriers CSX Corporation and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC).
The new service will not only improve transit times but also increase rail capacity in the region, making it a competitive alternative to trucking. By leveraging this partnership, Schneider’s new service will offer shippers in Mexico, Texas, Florida, and Georgia an intermodal solution, with added benefits over road transport, such as efficient border crossings and minimized risk of freight loss.
“This new interchange we are establishing with CSX is going to provide new competitive services and solutions to customers like Schneider, reaching additional rapidly growing markets. By providing more efficient options and routes for Schneider’s current and future customers, we are bringing new capacity to supply chains and taking trucks off the road,“ said CPKC Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer John Brooks.
