The collaboration leverages Norfolk Southern’s 22-state rail footprint, which is currently undergoing a series of capital investments aimed at staying ahead of rising customer demand. According to the companies, the initiative focuses on critical gateway capacity and terminal expansions designed to streamline the movement of goods across the region. Michael Baumgardt, Schneider’s executive vice president of intermodal and logistics, noted that the alliance provides shippers with a scalable alternative to traditional over-the-road transportation. While the companies confirmed the agreement on Thursday, they have not disclosed the specific financial terms of the deal.
