Schneider National Debuts Its Own Chassis Fleet

January 15, 2014
Schneider National Inc.

The move gives the company "complete control of assets used in an intermodal move, and makes our service even more efficient for shippers," said Bill Matheson, president of intermodal services. The lightweight design of the equipment, at 500 pounds less per unit, allows customers to fit more product into each load.
