Schneider National Adds Regional Service in the Northeast

Schneider National, Inc., a premier provider of transportation, logistics and intermodal services, announced today that it has completed the rollout of its Regional plan with the addition of Northeast Regional service. Available to shippers in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont, the expansion brings the total number of regional-serviced states to 48.

“As customers continue to explore ways to improve their supply chains, they’re finding that regional service is a smart solution for the total length of haul,” said Marc Rogers, senior vice president and general manager of Schneider Van Truckload. “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.”

According to Rogers, the launch of the final expansion was accelerated due to high customer demand after its Regional service began in 2008. He also noted that an attention to different operational needs by region —including offering higher pay to drivers willing to take on the challenge associated with driving in the congested Northeast — have fueled the company’s efforts to find professional, reliable and safe drivers.
