“Reliability is a cornerstone of our operations,” said Schneider Executive Vice President and Group President of Transportation and Logistics Jim Filter. “Fast Track gives shippers peace of mind with unmatched speed and consistency, supported by our professional drivers and robust nationwide network of company-owned assets.”

Already proven with time and service-sensitive automotive freight moving from Mexico to Kansas City, Chicago and beyond, Fast Track is expanding to more lanes to meet growing demand for just-in-time and expedited shipping.

Key features include:

• High performing lanes that offer faster transit and superior service standards.
