Schneider is set to launch a new Intermodal service providing continuous rail service between points in Mexico and Texas and points in the Southeastern United States. Service on the new route will begin in December.

The lane is a result of recently announced connection between CSX Corp. and Canadian Pacific Kansas City ( (CPKC).

As strategic customer of both CSX and CPKC, Schneider National, Inc. ( SNDR), a premier multimodal provider of transportation, intermodal and logistics services, will provide this competitive advantage to shippers, who have traditionally relied on over-the-road transport in the Southeast.

This new service will connect growing markets in Mexico and Texas with Florida and Georgia. Unlike truck transportation on this Southeast-Mexico cross-border route, intermodal service with CPKC provides a seamless, efficient border crossing, eliminating potential delays and exposure to freight loss.
