Schneider expands middle mile configuration to its van truckload and intermodal assets

Green Bay, Wisconsin-based Schneider National, a provider of truckload, intermodal and logistics services, recently announced it is broadening its middle- mile configuration to include its Van Truckload and Intermodalowned asset, in a move geared to optimize the movement of freight through its 24 terminal networks across the contiguous 48 United States.The company said that with the middle mile providing connectivity from and between local last-mile terminals, it plays as significant a role as its first- and last-mile counterparts. When Schneider acquired Watkins & Shepherd Trucking in 2016, it paved the way for the company to become a key player in the first to final mile delivery of over-dimensional goods for omnichannel retailers and manufacturers. And it now has access to more than 10,700 trucks and 22,000 intermodal containers.
