About Mark Rourke
Mark Rourke, CEO of Schneider National, discussed the company's 90th anniversary in 2025, attributing its longevity to the foresight of founders Al and Don Schneider and the company's ability to adapt to change. He stated that the company has been resilient through recessions, a depression, and global events, and emphasized the importance of embracing technology and safety advancements to remain relevant. Rourke noted that Schneider is diversified across truckload, intermodal, and logistics platforms, and said the company is focused on positioning itself for the future by bringing these services together for customers. Rourke highlighted Schneider's investment in nearshoring and Mexico, describing it as a "no-brainer" due to the CPKC railroad's service from Mexico to the Midwest and Southeast, where Schneider is the anchor provider. He also discussed the company's progress with battery-electric trucks, noting that Schneider reached one million zero-emission miles with its eCascadia trucks, and described the main challenge as building charging infrastructure. Regarding market conditions, Rourke said that tariff policies have led shippers to bring goods forward or pull back, and he expressed optimism about a potential bottoming in freight demand, though he noted it depends on the category and customer.
