GREEN BAY, Wis. – (June 29, 2010) – Schneider National, Inc., premier provider of transportation, logistics and intermodal services, has been named the 2009 Carrier of the Year by Kimberly-Clark (NYSE: KMB).

“Schneider is our go-to carrier, providing our entire organization with the service and value we require,” said Steve Harmon, vice president of transportation for Kimberly-Clark. “This past year alone, they exceeded our stringent service expectations for all 23 of our most critical strategic customers.”
