Hurricane Milton

Update: 10/9/24

Our thoughts are with all those who are in the path of Hurricane Milton, and we wish for their safety and well-being.  

Forecasters expect the storm to impact Florida’s west coast late Wednesday (10/9/24). As the storm path develops, we have a team preparing and closely monitoring the weather. Schneider’s number one core value is safety, and as such, are coordinating with drivers and associates to ensure their welfare during this storm.    

The needs of our customers are also top of mind.    

  • Schneider will communicate with you directly if there is a delay or disruption in shipment.  
  • If you are planning any contingencies such as facility closures or adjusting freight pick up or delivery dates/times, please contact your Schneider representative with those details.  

With nearly 90 years of weather seasons behind us, Schneider has the network and experience to weather any storm. We will continue to keep your freight moving as quickly and safely as possible. If you have any questions, please work directly with your Schneider representative.   

Please continue to monitor this page for updates.   

Network capacity after a storm or disruption may be localized initially, but longer-term impacts are nationwide.

Please keep in mind that because of these widespread storms and disruptions, inbound shipments are affected across the nation – even in areas where the weather or disruption may not be an issue.
