Schneider National has implemented peak season surcharges for its intermodal business ahead of schedule, indicating strong demand from customers. EVP Jim Filter noted that these surcharges, introduced six to eight weeks earlier than usual, are also being discussed with truckload clients. The company reported a 5% year-over-year revenue increase in its intermodal segment, driven by volume growth. This trend reflects broader market dynamics, where shippers are adapting to global trade complexities and tariffs by frontloading shipments, leading to increased demand and potential operational challenges for carriers.
