Schneider National Inc. next month will launch a new intermodal service providing continuous rail transport between points in Mexico and Texas and points in the U.S. Southeast on CSX and Canadian Pacific Kansas City.
The lane is the result of a recently announced connection between CSX and CPKC. A customer of both railroads, Schneider will provide shippers that have traditionally relied on over-the-road transport in the Southeast, Schneider officials said in a press release.
The new service will connect growing markets in Mexico and Texas with Florida and Georgia. Intermodal service with CPKC across the U.S. Southeast-Mexico border route provides shippers with a seamless border crossing, eliminating potential delays and exposure to freight loss, Schneider officials said.
Once across the border, freight can be transported to Georgia and Florida via CSX.
“This represents a major leap forward in our industry combining the best-in-class service of two renowned railroads, and it will transform the intermodal landscape,” said Schneider Executive Vice President and Group President of Transportation and Logistics Jim Filter. “It will be especially useful for shippers looking to diversify their transportation solutions and support and fortify nearshoring strategies.”
