Schneider Expands Regional Service To Northeast

Schneider National, a provider of transportation, logistics and intermodal services, headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has expanded its services by adding a new regional service in the Northeast Region.

According to Schneider, the regional service will now be available to shippers in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont. This expansion brings the total number of regional-serviced states to 48.

In addition, CHEP Equipment Pooling Systems, a provider of pallet and container pooling services, has added the company's regional offering to its mode mix, which was primarily long haul. The regional support from the company allows CHEP to focus on its business.

The company said that its customer service representatives in the Northeast know the region and short-haul routes. With drivers assigned to consistent routes, customers can work with the same people on a consistent basis which is similar to the service account that have existed in its portfolio of services for years.

Marc Rogers, senior vice president and general manager of Schneider Van Truckload, said: “Our Northeast Regional service, which specializes in shipments that are 500 miles or less, is the perfect complement to our Long Haul, Expedited, Dedicated and Intermodal services and ensures that Schneider National can offer a tailored program for each customer’s needs.”

Bill Wade, vice president of logistics at CHEP Equipment Pooling Systems, said: “Schneider National is an integral part of our long-term plans and our business network in the Northeast. The company’s reputation and dependability were important factors in our decision to work with Schneider.”
