Schneider Adds Montreal Intermodal Shipping Lane

GREEN BAY, WI — One of North America’s largest freight transportation providers has added a new shipping lane, based on the old adage that the quickest way from one point to another is a straight line.

Schneider recently began a new intermodal lane via Montreal for shippers in Canada and the Southeastern U.S.

After offering freight services in Montreal for nearly five years, the Wisconsin-based company said it expanded its intermodal service to customers in the area who often struggle to find enough capacity, especially to the southern U.S.

With a solid Montreal dray driver base and established ramp operations through the CSX rail network, Schneider is now offering service to markets in Florida and Georgia, eliminating the Great Lakes reroute.

“We saw a desire for capacity, especially for our customers in Montreal who would ship containers northeast via intermodal to fill in tough service lanes,” said Jim Filter, Schneider senior vice president of intermodal. “This additional lane opens up possibilities for current and new customers to ship product quickly and more efficiently to the Southeast instead of by truck and trailer.”

The new lane runs along the U.S. East Coast to Florida. Schneider also opened service lanes from Montreal to Ohio and St. Louis.
