Schneider rolls back fleet speed; Opens Cnd logistics HQ
5/9/08

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Schneider National said that its entire fleet of more than 10,000 trucks will be voluntarily governed at 60 mph.

It's only a three-mph reduction from the limit the carrier was held to before, but the difference is still significant for a fleet of that size, says Chris Lofgren, president and CEO of Schneider National.

The effort will reduce the fleet's consumption of diesel fuel by more than 3.75 million gallons per year and reduce truck CO2 emissions by 83.25 million pounds per year.

"Operating an energy-efficient fleet, conserving fuel and minimizing our environmental impact have always been a part of how we conduct business," says Lofgren.

Meanwhile, the company's counterpart, Schneider Logistics, recently expanded its brokerage services with the opening of a new regional logistics center in Toronto.
The new addition is Schneider's first RLC outside the United States.
"Many of our U.S.-based customers also ship in Canada, so adding an RLC in Toronto was a logical next step in helping provide them with top-quality service abroad," said Mitch Weckop, general manager of transportation for Schneider. http://www.todaystrucking.com/news.cfm?intDocID=19579&CFID=3319793&CFTOKEN=82132362
