What Schneider National does

Truckload, intermodal and logistics carrier operating a large company-owned truck fleet across North America.

Spreads exposure between freight bought at market rates and dedicated contracts in which it runs trucks and drivers for a single customer at agreed rates, so income is steadier than for pure spot carriers. Intermodal moves freight by rail in its own containers, and a brokerage arm uses outside carriers. The Schneider family trusts keep control through a separate class of shares.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
