The following summary highlights certain information contained elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference into, this reoffer prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. We urge you to read this entire reoffer prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes and other documents incorporated by reference into this reoffer prospectus, before making an investment decision.
OUR COMPANY
We are a leading transportation and logistics services company providing a broad portfolio of premier truckload, intermodal and logistics solutions and operating one of the largestfor-hire trucking fleets in North America. We believe we have developed a differentiated business model that is difficult to replicate due to our scale, breadth of complementary service offerings and proprietary technology platform. Our highly flexible and balanced business combines asset-based truckload services with asset-light intermodal andnon-asset logistics offerings, enabling us to serve our customers’ diverse transportation needs. Since our founding in 1935, we believe we have become an iconic and trusted brand within the transportation industry by adhering to a culture of safety “first and always” and upholding our responsibility to our associates, our customers and the communities that we serve.
We are the second largest truckload company in North America by revenue, one of the largest intermodal transportation providers in North America by revenue and an industry leader in specialty equipment services ande-commerce fulfillment. We categorize our operations into the following reportable segments:
• | Truckload – which consists of freight transported and delivered with standard and specialty equipment by our company-employed drivers in company trucks and by owner-operators, executed through eitherfor-hire or dedicated contracts. |
• | Intermodal – which consists ofdoor-to-door, container on flat car service by a combination of rail andover-the-road transportation, in association with our rail carrier partners. Our intermodal service offers vast coverage throughout North America, including cross-border freight through company containers and trucks. |
• | Logistics – which consists ofnon-asset freight brokerage services, supply chain services (including third-party logistics) and import/export services. Our logistics business typically provides value-added services using third-party capacity, augmented by our assets, to manage and move our customers’ freight. |
We also engage in equipment leasing and provide insurance to support owner-operators, which combined with our limited Chinese truck brokerage and logistics operations, account for our remaining operating revenue.
Our portfolio consists of approximately 10,500 company and 2,850 owner-operator trucks, 37,900 trailers and 18,100 intermodal containers across North America and approximately 19,300 enterprise associates. We serve a diverse customer base across multiple industries represented by approximately 16,000 customers, including nearly 200 Fortune 500 companies. Each day, we transit over 8.9 million miles, equivalent to circling the globe approximately 360 times. Our logistics business manages nearly 23,000 qualified carrier relationships and, in 2016, managed approximately $2 billion of third-party freight. Our portfolio diversity, network density throughout North America and large fleet allow us to provide an exceptional level of service to our customers and consistently excel as a reliable partner, especially at times of peak demand.
We believe we offer one of the broadest arrays of services in the transportation and logistics industries, ranging from dry van to bulk transport, intermodal to supply chain management and first to final mile “white glove” delivery. We believe we differentiate ourselves through expertise in services that utilize specialty equipment, which have high barriers to entry. With our recent acquisitions of Watkins and Shepard Trucking, Inc. and Lodeso, Inc. we have established a national footprint and expertise in shippingdifficult-to-handle consumer items, such as furniture, mattresses and other household goods, which based on internal research conducted by management have been in the forefront of the transition in consumer purchasing patterns to thee-commerce channel. Our comprehensive and integrated suite of industry leading service offerings allows us to better meet customer needs and capture a larger share of our customers’ transportation spend. Customers value our breadth of services, demonstrated by 21 of our top 25 customers utilizing services from all three of our reportable segments.

The following graphic demonstrates the breadth and diversity of our service offerings:
In 2007, we launched Quest, a multi-year, comprehensive business processes and technology transformation program, using technology from our strategic development partner, Oracle Corporation. As part of this transformation, we created aquote-to-cash technology platform, which we refer to as our Quest platform, that serves as the backbone of our business and seamlessly integrates all business lines and functions. Ourstate-of-the-art Quest platform allows us to make informed decisions at every level of our business, providing real-time data analytics to optimize network density and equipment utilization across our entire network, which drives better customer service, operational efficiency and load optimization. We also realigned our organization to give our associates a direct line of sight toprofit-and-loss responsibility both within their business lines and across the organization. This organizational change combined with our Quest platform empowers our associates to proactively pursue business opportunities that enhance profitability while maintaining high levels of customer service. We believe our over $250 million investment in technology and our related organizational realignment over the past several years have enabled us to improve our profit margins and put us in a favorable position to expand our profit margins and continue growing our business.

Schneider was founded in 1935 by Al J. Schneider in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and further developed under the leadership of his son, Donald J. Schneider. Schneider’s deeply-rooted culture embodies several core values:
• | Safety First and Always |
• | Integrity in Every Action |
• | Respect for All |
• | Excellence in What We Do |
We put these values into practice through the Schneider “Value Triangle” of operational excellence. A guiding tenet of our business for over a decade, our “Value Triangle” provides a key reference for our associates to consider when making business decisions at each level of the company, including the needs of our customers, our associates and our business and its shareholders. We believe managing and balancing these often competing interests compels us to weigh the collective benefits to all of our stakeholders for every business decision.
OUR INDUSTRY
Truckload
Trucking is the primary means of serving the North American transportation market and hauls approximately 70% of freight volume within the United States, which is embodied in a common phrase used within our industry: “if you’ve got it—a truck brought it.” Trucking continues to attract shippers due to the mode’s cost advantages relative to air transportation and flexibility relative to rail. Truckload growth is largely tied to U.S. economic activity such as GDP growth and industrial production and moves in line with changes in sales, inventory and production within various sectors of the U.S. economy. Truckload volumes are also positioned to benefit from secular trends ine-commerce retail, which is expected to grow at a 13% CAGR from 2014 to 2019 according toe-Marketer. Based on estimates by the American Trucking Associations (ATA), the U.S. trucking industry generated approximately $726 billion in revenue in 2015 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2016 to 2022.
The U.S. truckload industry is large and fragmented, characterized by many small carriers with revenues of less than $1 million per year, less than 50 carriers with revenues exceeding $100 million per year and 10 carriers with revenues exceeding $1 billion per year, according to 2015 data published by Transport Topics, an ATA publication. According to Department of Transportation (DOT) data, there were over 550,000 trucking companies in the United States at the end of 2015, approximately 90% of which owned 10 or fewer trucks.
Regulations and initiatives to improve the safety of the U.S. trucking industry have impacted industry dynamics. We believe the recent trend is for industry regulation to become progressively more restrictive and complex, which constrains the overall supply of trucks and drivers in the industry. Examples of recently enacted and

Table of Contents
upcoming regulations and initiatives include the Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA) initiative (2010), Hours of Service (HOS) rules (2013) and mandatory use of electronic logging devices to enforce Hours of Service (HOS) rules (2015), hair follicle (2016) and sleep apnea screening (upcoming), installation of speed limiters (2016) and phase 2 emission standards (2016). We believe small carriers will likely be challenged to maintain the utilization required for acceptable profitability under this regulatory framework.
Domestic Intermodal
Domestic intermodal transportation involves the transportation of freight in a53-foot container or trailer, combining multiple modes of transportation (rail and truck) within the United States, Canada and Mexico. Eliminating the need for customers to directly handle freight when changing modes between rail and truck, intermodal transportation holds significant productivity, cost and fuel-efficiency advantages when moving mass freight. Domestic intermodal volumes are largely driven byover-the-road conversions from truckload to intermodal and from the volume of overseas imports into the United States, such as from China. Our management estimates the North American intermodal and drayage market to be $22 billion. According to the Association of American Railroads (AAR), intermodal has grown from 27% of all railcar loads in 1990 to 49% in 2015. Domestic intermodal accounts for 50% of total intermodal volume according to the Intermodal Association of North America (IANA). With fuel costs likely to increase in the long-term, fuel efficiency regulations set to tighten and labor shortages in the trucking industry, the intermodal market is well-positioned to take on freight capacity as trucking markets face external pressures.
The intermodal market is comprised of service providers of differing asset intensity, with customers being served by eithernon-asset intermodal marketing companies (IMCs) or asset-light network intermodal providers such as Schneider. While IMCs are the most prevalent intermodal solution provider, asset-light network intermodal providers offer differentiated higher-value solutions to customers given the reliability, geographic breadth and high service levels of company assets (trucks, containers and even chassis) compared tonon-asset IMCs.
The domestic intermodal segment is highly consolidated, where the top three intermodal providers operate over 50% of the U.S. dry van domestic container fleet, according to management estimates. Network density, size and scale are critical barriers to entry in the intermodal market. Increasing sophistication and complexity of shippers’ needs require network density and the ability to deliver reliable capacity. According to AAR, railroads have been spending record amounts in recent years to maintain and improve their infrastructure and equipment, which we believe supports growth of the intermodal industry and improves the efficiency and reliability of the railroad component of our intermodal service.
Logistics
The logistics industry is a large, fast-growing and fragmented market that represents an integral part of the global economy. As supply chain complexity increases, corporations have elected to focus on innovation, design, sales and marketing of their products rather than supply chain operations. Increased material costs coupled with enhanced global competition impose margin pressure on manufacturers, requiring the outsourcing of noncore transportation logistics to supply chain specialists who offer a combination of scale, strong technology platforms and lower costs. Additionally, more shipments of inputs and products will be transported using multiple modes and technical expertise, driving shipper preferences for logistics providers with an asset-based network to complement their third-party capacity. Transportation asset owners often provide logistics services to meet excess demand and provide customers with greater breadth of services.

Each of the Selling Shareholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Class B common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
Our Class B common stock is approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If the Selling Shareholder is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the Selling Shareholder will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
Shares to be offered or resold by means of this reoffer prospectus by the Selling Shareholders may not exceed, during any three-month period, the amount specified in Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this reoffer prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act rather than pursuant to this reoffer prospectus.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Sections 180.0850 to 180.0859 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law (the “WBCL”) require a corporation to indemnify any director or officer who is a party to any threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit arbitration or other proceeding, whether formal or informal, which involves foreign, federal, state or local law and that is brought by or in the right of the corporation or by any other person. A corporation’s obligation to indemnify any such person includes the obligation to pay any judgment, settlement, forfeiture or fine, including any excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, and all reasonable expenses, including fees, costs, charges, disbursements, attorney’s fees and other expenses except in those cases in which liability was incurred as a result of the breach or failure to perform a duty that the director or officer owes to the corporation and the breach or failure to perform constitutes: (i) a willful failure to deal fairly with the corporation or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director or officer has a material conflict of interest; (ii) a violation of criminal law, unless the person has reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; (iii) a transaction from which the person derived an improper personal profit; or (iv) willful misconduct.
An officer or director seeking indemnification is entitled to indemnification if approved in any of the following manners: (i) by a majority vote of a disinterested quorum of the board of directors, or if such quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of two or more disinterested directors; (ii) by independent legal counsel; (iii) by a panel of three arbitrators; (iv) by an affirmative vote of disinterested shareholders; (v) by a court; or (vi) with respect to any additional right to indemnification granted, by any other method permitted in Section 180.0858 of the WBCL.
Reasonable expenses incurred by a director or officer who is a party to a proceeding may be reimbursed by a corporation at such time as the director or officer furnishes to the corporation written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has not breached or failed to perform his duties and a written undertaking to repay any amounts advanced if it is determined that indemnification by the corporation is not required.
The indemnification provisions of Sections 180.0850 to 180.0859 of the WBCL are not exclusive. A corporation may expand an officer’s or director’s right to indemnification (i) in its articles of incorporation or bylaws; (ii) by written agreement between the director or officer and the corporation; (iii) by resolution of its board of directors; or (iv) by resolution of a majority of all of the corporation’s voting shares then issued and outstanding.
As permitted by Section 180.0858 of the WBCL, the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws contain indemnification provisions that are substantially similar to the statutory indemnification provisions. Additionally, the Company has purchased director and officer liability insurance.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) | The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: |
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initialbonafide offering thereof. |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(b) | The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act), that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(c) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
