                                 Schneider National, Inc.

                                        As the largest truckload carrier in the United States, Schneider National
                                        employs 15,000 drivers who travel approximately 1.4 billion miles per
                                        year. The company carries any type of product—from automotive
                                 products to manufacturing products—throughout the continental 48 states, parts
                                 of Canada, and Mexico. Additionally,  Schneider is the largest truckload carrier
                                 in Canada, with over 500 units near Toronto.

                                 Schneider incorporates many energy efficient techniques into its business  —
                                 from aerodynamics to idling reduction. Transmissions and engines are
                                 maintained in optimum condition.  The entire fleet has aerodynamic tractors and
                                 trailers, saving nearly 28 million gallons of fuel worth approximately 80 million
                                 dollars.  In addition, speed management strategies are  used, such as limiting
                                 speed to a maximum of 65 mph. Using speed management strategies,
                                 Schneider has saved approximately 13  million gallons of fuel, resulting in
                                 savings of roughly $39 million dollars. Also, engines have a two-minute idling
                                 limitation.  Schneider offers its driver incentives for decreasing their speed and
                                 idling time.  Direct fired heaters are used in 80% of the trucks and battery
                                 operated cooling systems are also used in a portion of the fleet.  Six thousand
                                 trucks in the Schneider fleet idle an average of 5% of the time during the winter
                                 months. The fleet idling average is 17%.  Schneider estimates that 1500 hours
                                 of idling and 3600 gallons of fuel are saved per tractor per year. Through idle
                                 reduction strategies, Schneider has  saved approximately  11 million gallons of
                                 fuel, or nearly $31 million dollars.

                                 According to Dennis Damman, director of engineering, environmental
                                 responsibility is important to Schneider, which is why the company has invested
                                 extensive resources into these technologies.  "Schneider is aggressive in
                                 adopting new
                                 technologies and
                                 increasing energy
                                 efficiency,"  states
                                 Damman.
