Schneider EDI integration for shippers
A guide for shippers and brokers connecting with Schneider for truckload and intermodal tendering, tracking and invoicing.
Overview
Understanding Schneider integration
Who this is for: Shippers and brokers tendering truckload or intermodal freight to Schneider who want the full load lifecycle automated.
Schneider is one of the largest truckload and intermodal carriers in North America, and it exchanges the standard transportation document set with its customers. A shipper or broker offers a load with a 204 tender, Schneider accepts or declines with a 990, reports movement with 214 status messages and bills with a 210 freight invoice.
Shippers use status messages for track and trace, dock and labor scheduling and carrier performance measurement, and they compare the 214 against the 204 and the 210 before paying. Third-party sources describe common Schneider status milestones such as pickup, in-transit checkpoints and delivery appointment scheduling.
Schneider's specific segment requirements, identifiers and status codes should be confirmed with Schneider during onboarding, since they can differ by service and by the system a shipper uses to tender loads.
