Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
General GENERAL
Nature of Operations

In this report, when we refer to “the Company,” “us,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” or “Schneider,” we are referring to Schneider National, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Schneider is a transportation service organization headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin and has three reportable segments focused on providing truckload, intermodal, and logistics solutions.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements and footnotes do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Financial results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods presented.

COVID-19

The Company has taken steps to mitigate the potential risks posed by COVID-19. We provide an essential service to our customers and have taken additional measures to keep our associates safe and minimize unnecessary risk of exposure to COVID-19, including precautions for our associates and owner-operators who work in the field. We have implemented work from home policies where appropriate and imposed travel limitations on employees.

Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures included in its financial statements and accompanying notes and assesses certain accounting matters that require consideration of forecasted financial information.
Due to limited visibility into future freight demand and ongoing uncertainties, we are unable to predict the impact COVID-19 will have on our future financial position and operating results.

Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which reduces complexity in accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for us as of January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and plan to adopt as of January 1, 2021.

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

We adopted ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which was effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to be complete. This guidance offers optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to transactions, including contract modifications, hedging relationships, and the sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

We adopted ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which amends ASC 350, as of January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. This standard aligned the capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the existing capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
We adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is codified in ASC 326, as of January 1, 2020. The guidance replaced the incurred loss model with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses over the life of the financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, as well as considerations of current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This new model for estimating our expected credit losses was implemented for our trade accounts receivable (Note 2, Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance), net investment in leases (Note 3, Leases), and available-for-sale debt securities (Note 6, Investments), and did not result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements or disclosures upon adoption.

Receivables [Abstract]  
Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE
Our trade accounts receivable is recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue adjustments. The allowance is based on an aging analysis using historical experience, as well as any known and expected trends or uncertainties related to customer billing and account collectability. The adequacy of our allowance is reviewed at least quarterly, and reserves for receivables not expected to be collected are established. In circumstances where we are aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded to reduce the net receivable to the amount we reasonably expect to collect. Bad debt expense is included in other general expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The following table shows changes to our allowance for doubtful accounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Excluded from the amounts below is the portion of the allowance recorded for revenue adjustments, as that portion is not credit-related nor due to a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations.

Leases [Abstract]  
Finance Leases LEASES
As Lessee

We lease real estate, transportation equipment, and office equipment under operating and finance leases. Our real estate operating leases include operating centers, distribution warehouses, offices, and drop yards. Our finance leases include office equipment, warehouse equipment, and truck washes. The majority of our leases include an option to extend the lease, and a small number include an option to terminate the lease early, which may include a termination payment.

Additional information related to our leases is as follows:

As Lessor

We finance various types of transportation-related equipment for independent third parties under lease contracts which are generally for one year to five years and accounted for as sales-type leases with fully guaranteed residual values. Our leases contain an option for the lessee to return, extend, or purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for the guaranteed contract residual amount. This contract residual amount is estimated to approximate the fair value of the equipment. Lease payments primarily include base rentals and guaranteed residual values.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the investments in lease receivables were as follows:

Before entering into a lease contract, we assess the credit quality of the potential lessee through the use of credit checks and other relevant factors, ensuring that their inherent credit risk is consistent with our existing lease portfolio. We monitor the credit quality of our lease portfolio weekly by tracking amounts past due, days past due, and outstanding maintenance account balances, including running subsequent credit checks as needed. The following table presents our net investment in leases, which includes both current and future lease payments as of September 30, 2020 by amounts past due, our primary ongoing credit quality indicator, and lease origination year.

Our lease receivables are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an aging analysis to reserve amounts expected to be uncollectible. The terms of the lease agreements generally give us the ability to take possession of the underlying asset in the event of default. We may incur credit losses in excess of recorded allowances if the full amount of anticipated proceeds from the sale or re-lease of the asset supporting the third party’s financial obligation, which can be impacted by economic conditions, is not realized.
Accrued interest on leases is included within lease receivables on the consolidated balance sheets and was not material as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Leases are generally placed on nonaccrual status (nonaccrual of interest and other fees) when a payment becomes 90 days past due or upon notification of bankruptcy, death, or other instances management concludes collectability is not reasonably assured. The accrual of interest and other fees resumes when all payments are less than 60 days past due. At both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our net investment in leases on nonaccrual status were not material.

The table below provides additional information on our sales-type leases.

We finance various types of transportation-related equipment for independent third parties under lease contracts which are generally for one year to five years and accounted for as sales-type leases with fully guaranteed residual values. Our leases contain an option for the lessee to return, extend, or purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for the guaranteed contract residual amount. This contract residual amount is estimated to approximate the fair value of the equipment. Lease payments primarily include base rentals and guaranteed residual values.

Before entering into a lease contract, we assess the credit quality of the potential lessee through the use of credit checks and other relevant factors, ensuring that their inherent credit risk is consistent with our existing lease portfolio. We monitor the credit quality of our lease portfolio weekly by tracking amounts past due, days past due, and outstanding maintenance account balances, including running subsequent credit checks as needed.

Our lease receivables are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an aging analysis to reserve amounts expected to be uncollectible. The terms of the lease agreements generally give us the ability to take possession of the underlying asset in the event of default. We may incur credit losses in excess of recorded allowances if the full amount of anticipated proceeds from the sale or re-lease of the asset supporting the third party’s financial obligation, which can be impacted by economic conditions, is not realized.
Accrued interest on leases is included within lease receivables on the consolidated balance sheets and was not material as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Leases are generally placed on nonaccrual status (nonaccrual of interest and other fees) when a payment becomes 90 days past due or upon notification of bankruptcy, death, or other instances management concludes collectability is not reasonably assured. The accrual of interest and other fees resumes when all payments are less than 60 days past due.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the estimated price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, which is referred to as the exit price. Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value fall into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2, and 3) as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).

Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The table below sets forth the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820.

(1)Marketable securities are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active and are, therefore, classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. We measure our marketable securities on a recurring, monthly basis. See Note 6, Investments, for additional information on the fair value of our marketable securities.

The fair value of the Company's debt was $318.7 million and $368.5 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The carrying value of the Company's debt was $305.0 million and $360.0 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of our debt was calculated using a fixed-rate debt portfolio with similar terms and maturities, which is based on the borrowing rates available to us in the applicable year. This valuation used Level 2 inputs.

The recorded value of cash, trade accounts receivable, lease receivables, and trade accounts payable approximates fair value.
Our ownership interests in PSI and MLSI discussed in Note 6, Investments, do not have readily determinable fair values and are accounted for using the measurement alternative in ASC 321-10-35-2.

Debt Securities, Available-for-sale [Abstract]  
Investments INVESTMENTS
Marketable Securities

Our marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value in current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. While our intent is to hold our securities to maturity, sudden changes in the market or our liquidity needs may cause us to sell certain securities in advance of their maturity date.

With the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the guidance on reporting credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities was amended. Under this new guidance, credit losses are to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct write-down to the security. As a result, any unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets, unless we determine that the amortized cost basis is not recoverable. If we determine that the amortized cost basis of the impaired security is not recoverable, we recognize the credit loss by increasing the allowance for those losses. Cost basis is determined using the specific identification method.

When adopting this standard, we elected to continue to present the accrued interest receivable balance associated with our investments in marketable securities separate from the marketable securities line in the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2020, accrued interest receivable associated with our investments in marketable securities was not material and is included within other receivables on the consolidated balance sheets. We have elected the practical expedient provided under the guidance to exclude the applicable accrued interest from the amortized cost basis disclosure of our marketable securities. We have also elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on our accrued interest receivable and to write off accrued interest receivable by reversing interest income when it is not considered collectible.

The following table presents the maturities and values of our marketable securities as of the dates shown.

Gross realized gains and losses and net unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on our marketable securities were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Additionally, we did not have an allowance for credit losses on our marketable securities as of September 30, 2020 or any other-than-temporary impairments as of December 31, 2019, and our total unrealized gains and losses were not material as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Ownership Interest in Platform Science, Inc.

In 2018, the Company made a strategic decision to invest in PSI and acquired an ownership interest in exchange for granting them a non-exclusive license to our proprietary telematics mobile software that was developed to enable enhanced driver productivity and ensure regulatory compliance. Our ownership interest is being accounted for under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities using the measurement alternative and is recorded in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets. During the first half of 2020, remeasurement events occurred which required the Company to revalue its interest in PSI. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, no events have occurred that would indicate that the value of our ownership interest in PSI has changed. The Company recognized pre-tax gains of $8.8 million on its investment in PSI in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which were recorded within other income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value of our ownership interest as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $12.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and our ownership percentage was 12.6% as of September 30, 2020.
Ownership Interest in Mastery Logistics Systems, Inc.

On July 2, 2020, Schneider entered into a strategic partnership with MLSI, a transportation technology development company, which included an agreement that allows the Company to purchase a non-controlling interest in MLSI in two tranches. Schneider and MLSI are collaborating to develop a Transportation Management System using MLSI's SaaS technology which Schneider has also agreed to license. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, we paid MLSI $5.0 million for the initial tranche, and, in return, received shares of preferred stock of MLSI which represents a 5.3% ownership in MLSI. This investment is being accounted for under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities using the measurement alternative and is recorded in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2020, no events have occurred that would indicate that the value of our investment in MLSI has changed.

Subsequent Event - Additional Investment in Mastery Logistics Systems, Inc.

On October 14, 2020, the Company invested an additional $5.0 million in MLSI in exchange for preferred stock of MLSI. This additional investment completed the second tranche of the agreement and increased our total investment in MLSI to $10.0 million and our non-controlling ownership interest to 10.1%.

The agreement also provides a sublimit of $100.0 million to be used for the issuance of letters of credit. We had no outstanding borrowings under this agreement as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. Standby letters of credit under this agreement amounted to $3.9 million and $3.8 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and were primarily related to the requirements of certain of our real estate leases.

We also have a Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “2018 Receivables Purchase Agreement”) that allows us to borrow funds against qualifying trade receivables at rates based on one-month LIBOR up to $200.0 million and provides for the issuance of standby letters of credit through September 2021. We had no outstanding borrowings under this facility at September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, standby letters of credit under this agreement amounted to $70.3 million and were primarily related to the requirements of certain of our insurance obligations.

In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items. This rate is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and best estimates of nontaxable and nondeductible items of income and expense.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into U.S. federal law the CARES Act aimed at providing emergency assistance and health care for individuals, families, and businesses affected by COVID-19 and generally supporting the U.S. economy. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions related to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company took advantage of the cash deferral program available for payment of federal and state income taxes through the second quarter of 2020 and continues to take advantage of the cash deferral program available for payment of employer social security taxes. The deferred income tax payments were paid to the respective tax authorities in the third quarter of 2020. On August 8, 2020, President Trump signed an executive order, Deferring Payroll Tax Obligations in Light of the Ongoing COVID-19 Disaster, which gives employers the option to defer the employee portion of social security payments for certain individuals. Schneider is currently not electing to use the deferral option under this executive order.

We record liabilities for claims against the Company based on our best estimate of expected losses. The primary claims arising for the Company through its trucking, intermodal, and logistics operations consist of accident-related claims for personal injury, collision, and comprehensive compensation, in addition to workers' compensation, property damage, cargo, and wage and benefit claims. We maintain excess liability insurance with licensed insurance carriers for liability in excess of amounts we self-insure which serves to largely offset the Company’s liability associated with these claims, with the exception of wage and benefit claims for which we self-insure. We review our accruals periodically to ensure that the aggregate amounts of our accruals are appropriate at any period after consideration of available insurance coverage. Although we expect that our claims accruals will continue to vary based on future developments, assuming that we are able to continue to obtain and maintain excess liability insurance coverage for such claims, we do not anticipate that such accruals will, in any period, materially impact our results of operations.

At September 30, 2020, our firm commitments to purchase transportation equipment totaled $139.1 million.

In October 2017, the representative of the former owners of WSL filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery which alleges that we have not fulfilled certain obligations under the purchase and sale agreement relating to the post-closing operations of the business, and as a result, the former owners claim they are entitled to an additional payment of $40.0 million. A trial date has been set for January 2021. We believe that we have strong defenses to this claim. A judgment by the Court against us could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

In September 2020, the Company recorded a $13.1 million charge as a result of an adverse tax ruling in a dispute with the IRS over the applicability of excise taxes on certain tractors refurbished during tax years 2011 through 2013 and no longer in service. The charge includes interest and is included within operating supplies and expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting SEGMENT REPORTING
We have three reportable segments – Truckload, Intermodal, and Logistics – which are based primarily on the services each segment provides.

The CODM reviews revenues for each segment exclusive of fuel surcharge revenues. For segment purposes, any fuel surcharge revenues earned are recorded as a reduction of the segment’s fuel expenses. Income from operations at the segment level reflects the measure presented to the CODM for each segment.

Separate balance sheets are not prepared by segment, and, as a result, assets are not separately identifiable by segment. All transactions between reportable segments are eliminated in consolidation.

Substantially all of our revenues and assets were generated or located within the U.S.
The following tables summarize our segment information. Intersegment revenues were immaterial for all segments, with the exception of Other, which includes revenues from insurance premiums charged to other segments for workers’ compensation, auto, and other types of insurance. Intersegment revenues included in Other revenues below were $11.9 million and $20.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $59.1 million and $66.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Restructuring RESTRUCTURING
On July 29, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a structured shutdown of its FTFM service offering within its Truckload reportable segment which was substantially complete as of August 31, 2019. The restructuring activity was recorded within our Truckload reportable segment. Pre-tax losses of our FTFM service offering were $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $34.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The activity associated with the shutdown is presented separately on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income within restructuring—net and is summarized below on a cumulative basis since July 29, 2019. Restructuring activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was not material.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, assets held for sale, net of impairment, within our Truckload segment were $23.5 million and $63.5 million, respectively, of which $14.0 million and $33.4 million related to the shutdown of our FTFM service offering, respectively. Assets held for sale, net of impairment, are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Nature of Operations
Nature of Operations

In this report, when we refer to “the Company,” “us,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” or “Schneider,” we are referring to Schneider National, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Schneider is a transportation service organization headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin and has three reportable segments focused on providing truckload, intermodal, and logistics solutions.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements and footnotes do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Financial results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods presented.
COVID-19
COVID-19

The Company has taken steps to mitigate the potential risks posed by COVID-19. We provide an essential service to our customers and have taken additional measures to keep our associates safe and minimize unnecessary risk of exposure to COVID-19, including precautions for our associates and owner-operators who work in the field. We have implemented work from home policies where appropriate and imposed travel limitations on employees.

Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures included in its financial statements and accompanying notes and assesses certain accounting matters that require consideration of forecasted financial information.
Due to limited visibility into future freight demand and ongoing uncertainties, we are unable to predict the impact COVID-19 will have on our future financial position and operating results.
Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted and Recently Adopted
Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which reduces complexity in accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for us as of January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and plan to adopt as of January 1, 2021.

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

We adopted ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which was effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to be complete. This guidance offers optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to transactions, including contract modifications, hedging relationships, and the sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

We adopted ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which amends ASC 350, as of January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. This standard aligned the capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the existing capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
We adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is codified in ASC 326, as of January 1, 2020. The guidance replaced the incurred loss model with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses over the life of the financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, as well as considerations of current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This new model for estimating our expected credit losses was implemented for our trade accounts receivable (Note 2, Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance), net investment in leases (Note 3, Leases), and available-for-sale debt securities (Note 6, Investments), and did not result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements or disclosures upon adoption.
