Title:  Schneider man, Schneider man, does whatever a Schneider can...
Description:  Schneider National Carriers was an early adopter of intermodal, along with JB Hunt, putting sizeable volumes of TOFC on the rails by the mid 90s. I can recall going to the Santa Fe at Willow Springs and KC to find that we had our own section, and the other dedicated lot was Schneiders. Where JB got into containers early-they already had around 15000 by the time I started driving there in 1995-Schneider was a little slower to get into that form, though once they realized the cost advantage of double stacking, they were in. We see one of their newer boxes on a northbound CSX train on the Lineville Sub. What I don't understand is why it's on the top, and not the JB box!!
