As companies are re-evaluating their supply chains, Schneider
National, Inc. (NYSE: SNDR), a premier multimodal provider of
transportation, intermodal and logistics services, is well
positioned to help shippers create flexible growth opportunities,
find efficiencies and take advantage of industry leading
offerings.
In the first half of 2023, foreign direct investment related to
nearshoring in Mexico increased by 47% according to the Mexico
Institute for Competitiveness. This trend is driven by companies
that are switching from distant production hubs to locations closer
to the final consumer, called nearshoring, allowing them to thrive
on proximity and cost optimization. Nearshoring also allows
companies to achieve operational efficiency while maintaining
control over projects in terms of cost-effectiveness, logistics and
risk mitigation.
Schneider, which has been operating in Mexico for the last 32
years, recently relocated to a new office in the Polanco District
of Mexico City. This move makes it even easier for the company to
meet with customers and prospects from a centralized location.
“It’s much easier and quicker for shippers to move their freight
across the border than the ocean, and that’s been a real learning
for them over the past few years,” said Schneider Chief Commercial
Officer, Group Senior Vice President and General Manager of
Logistics Erin Van Zeeland. “When companies diversify the
transportation modes they use to move their freight – such as
combining Intermodal, Truckload and Dedicated – they are able to
experience better on-time service, seamless transportation and a
higher level of security for their freight.”
Schneider provides customers with strategic cross-border
transportation solutions by analyzing their freight needs and then
collaborating to help them implement the best solutions including
Intermodal, Van Truckload, Dedicated, Expedited, Bulk, Brokerage
and more.
Last year, Schneider expanded its cross-border capabilities by
becoming a strategic intermodal carrier on CPKC’s flagship
north-south route. Schneider’s rail partnership with CPKC creates
more options for customers and furthers efficiency by increasing
reliability, security and capacity.
“Today, reliability is more important to customers than ever,
and our relationship with CPKC allows us to provide faster transit
times with more consistent service and a higher level of security
while still delivering on-time,” said Schneider Senior Vice
President and General Manager of Intermodal Michael Baumgardt.
“Customers are also showing a strong commitment to improving their
environmental impact, and they are looking for greener solutions to
transport their goods with responsible providers that can offer a
variety of services to cover their needs. Schneider can do all that
and more.”
Rail freight transportation facilitates fuel savings, with one
ton of freight being shipped up to 500 miles on the equivalent of a
single gallon of fuel. Schneider’s north-south zero-handoff route
with CPKC saves approximately 3,400 pounds of CO2 emissions and 157
intermodal gallons per trip compared to existing over-the-road
routes.
