Armstrong & Associates' Evaluation: Schneider Logistics' major vertical emphasis continues to be in automotive spare parts for U.S.-based auto manufacturers. However, it has significantly expanded its freight brokerage operations. This expansion has improved profitability and revenues which grew 30% last year. Schneider also acquired a transloading/deconsolidation operation and has moved into distribution center operations. Schneider's dedicated contract carriage operations are large in North America and new emphasis is being placed on their expansion. Schneider Logistics' freight payment services handle $7 billion per year.
