Schneider National Inc. has been selected by Shell Oil Products U.S. (SOPUS) to provide an integrated transportation, transportation management and freight payment solution for two of
SOPUS' largest distribution and manufacturing facilities in the United States.
SOPUS Products is a subsidiary of Shell Oil Co., a wholly owned member of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Cos.
SOPUS selected Schneider as part of its new regional-based strategy for greater flexibility, reduced costs and a more competitive position in the marketplace. Using its broad portfolio of services, Schneider created a customized solution to align with this strategy.
"The expanded relationship with SOPUS offers an exciting opportunity to integrate Schneider services to help them optimize operations and ultimately achieve a more competitive position in the market," said Dan Van Alstine, senior vice president of sales at Schneider National Inc. "With our expertise, SOPUS can leave shipping complexities to us and focus on growing its business."
Specifically, SOPUS selected a blend of Schneider One-Way and its network of certified third-party carriers through Schneider Transportation Management to transport packaged lubricants, including motor oils, greases and other products, for its four manufacturing and distribution facilities in Houston, Texas and Roxanna, Ill., near St. Louis. Schneider is also providing routing guide execution, load tendering, reporting and freight payment services.
