Schneider to Provide Dedicated Service for Emerson Electric
Schneider National said it will take over the transportation operations of Emerson Electric Co., an appliances and electronics manufacturer.
As part of the agreement between the companies, Schneider will provide Emerson with a dedicated fleet, including about 300 drivers, by the end of the year, Schneider said in a statement Wednesday.
The fleet will replace Emerson’s own transportation division, a fleet that was established in 1962 and operated 170 trucks, Schneider said.
Schneider plans to hire many of Emerson’s drivers to work in the dedicated Emerson fleet, the carrier said.
Emerson, St. Louis, manufactures appliances, tools, electronics and telecommunications equipment, among other items.
Schneider is ranked No. 9 on the Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
