With a Schneider Dedicated fleet, you can have all the advantages of a private fleet, without the challenges, including driver recruitment and retention, insurance, overhead, assets and cost. Best of all, you'll be able to concentrate on your core business, instead of fleet logistics and operations.
Service – Dedicated fleets consistently have higher service levels than other modes because of the exclusive nature of the capacity – Schneider Dedicated has a 99+% service rating, among the highest at Schneider National.
Capacity – Dedicated provides guaranteed capacity – specific trucks and drivers are assigned exclusively to your business, so you have as much capacity as you need, when you need it.
Value – In most cases, dedicated service provides you with a better overall supply chain value than other modes, whether you need long-haul or short-haul capability:
- A long-haul dedicated network can be less expensive than one-way if loaded ratio is high enough (usually around 90%)
- For short haul (typically less than 250 miles), if the dedicated fleet can be engineered for higher utilization, it can be more cost effective than one-way minimum rates
When you have short haul opportunities, Dedicated can save you on daily minimums usually incurred with one-way shipments. Make as many short-haul deliveries as you need.
For long-haul shipments when you have enough capacity, we can dedicate a fleet of trucks to you, reducing your empty miles with our other freight. We can also flex up and down with your capacity needs.
We can bring any kind of special equipment to bear in order to solve any transportation challenge you may have.
Schneider National has a dedicated bulk capability.
We are one of the top five refrigerated shippers in the country, and can handle both single- and multi-temperature configurations.
We have cross-docks in the six major markets and can offer break bulk and local delivery capabilities.
