Schneider recognizes over 200 drivers for outstanding commitment to safety
GREEN BAY, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Safety isn't just a priority at Schneider; it's the cornerstone of the company's culture and operations. Today, Schneider National, Inc. (NYSE: SNDR), a premier multimodal provider of transportation, intermodal and logistics services, celebrates 220 drivers who have achieved unparalleled safety milestones, exemplifying its core value of Safety First and Always.
Schneider drivers cumulatively travel over 9 million freight miles every day, ensuring essential goods are delivered across the country. What makes these journeys truly remarkable is the commitment to safety that company drivers demonstrate day in and day out. Their dedication has enabled Schneider to achieve significant reductions in United States Department of Transportation reportable accidents, attaining an all-time low accident frequency in 2024 and showcasing its safety leadership within the industry.
Honoring extraordinary achievements
This year, the transportation leader proudly recognizes and rewards the exceptional contributions of its drivers who have helped keep the roads safe:
98 drivers received the Consecutive Safe Driving Award, celebrating 10 or more consecutive years without a preventable accident or significant lost-time injury.
92 drivers earned the Million Mile Award for transporting freight over 1 million miles accident-free.
Five drivers reached the incredible milestone of 4 million safe miles.
Greg Swift became only the third driver in Schneider history to reach 5 million safe miles.
30 drivers were inducted into the prestigious Haul of Fame on June 12, honoring those with 3 million safe driving miles or 20 consecutive years of accident-free driving. With this year's class, the Haul of Fame now includes 435 total inductees. To permanently honor the recipients, plaques displaying their names are installed on the Haul of Fame wall at the company's headquarters in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
'These achievements represent more than just milestones — they highlight the strong commitment of Schneider drivers who continually set the standard for safety in our industry,' said Schneider President and CEO Mark Rourke. 'Their professionalism and focus on safe operations, every mile and every day for decades, are what truly set them apart.'
Setting the safety culture
Schneider attributes its safety success to its culture that empowers drivers, provides rigorous training at every stage of their career and includes cutting-edge technology. More specifically, the company has raised the bar with an industry-leading approach to:
Fostering safety-centric values
Schneider's all-time low accident frequency is, in part, the result of a company culture that empowers drivers to make safe choices. Equipment and training are extremely important, but it's the day-to-day interactions and actions that help make a difference as well. From leaders, to drivers, to maintenance technicians, Schneider has a consistent, values-driven approach to operating safely.
Ongoing training
Hands-on onboarding, safety analytics and innovative virtual reality tools help prepare drivers to handle challenging scenarios with confidence. Schneider believes learning is a lifelong endeavor, so whether a driver is new or has years of experience, they receive ongoing training.
Advanced technology
Schneider equips trucks with features like collision mitigation sensors, speed limiters, side guard assist for blind spots and lane departure warnings. Taken together, these innovations can help create a safer experience for drivers and the public alike.

Rayonier Completes Sale of New Zealand Business to The Rohatyn Group
WILDLIGHT, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rayonier Inc. ('Rayonier') (NYSE:RYN) today announced the completion of the previously announced sale of entities holding its 77% interest in the New Zealand joint venture to a special purpose vehicle owned by an investment fund managed by The Rohatyn Group ('TRG'), a global asset manager specializing in emerging markets and real assets, for a purchase price of $710 million. Net proceeds to Rayonier, after adjusting for estimated net debt, working capital, transaction costs, and other closing adjustments, are expected to be $699 million. Rayonier continues to anticipate using at least 50% of the proceeds to reduce leverage and/or return capital to shareholders through special dividends and share repurchases. Remaining proceeds are expected to be deployed opportunistically to fund other capital allocation priorities, including additional share buybacks and/or potential reinvestment into synergistic acquisitions. Rayonier continues to expect a special dividend for 2025 of $1.00 to $1.40 per share, which will be paid in a combination of cash and shares (details to be announced later this year). During the second quarter, Rayonier repurchased ~1.5 million shares for ~$35 million in total. As of June 30, 2025, the company had ~$262 million remaining under its current share repurchase authorization. Rayonier had previously reclassified its New Zealand business to discontinued operations on its consolidated financial statements, and the updated financial outlook provided in conjunction with the company's first quarter results on April 30 excluded contributions from the New Zealand business. 'We have now completed roughly $1.45 billion of dispositions since introducing our asset disposition and capital structure realignment plan in November 2023—significantly exceeding the original $1 billion target,' said Mark McHugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rayonier. 'The success of this plan has allowed us to achieve our new leverage target in a manner that has been accretive to both CAD* and NAV per share, as well as better position Rayonier to create long-term value for our shareholders going forward.' 'We want to extend our gratitude to the team in New Zealand, which has done an outstanding job in managing these highly productive assets, and we are pleased to transfer the stewardship of this business to TRG, a well-regarded manager of forestry assets in the region,' added McHugh. About Rayonier Rayonier is a leading timberland real estate investment trust with assets located in some of the most productive softwood timber growing regions in the United States. As of March 31, 2025, Rayonier owned or leased under long-term agreements approximately 2.5 million acres of timberlands located in the U.S. South (1.75 million acres), U.S. Pacific Northwest (308,000 acres) and New Zealand (412,000 acres). On June 30, 2025, the company completed the previously announced sale of the entirety of its New Zealand assets.

The team focuses on properties in lower-risk geographies where commercial forestry and agriculture are well-developed and good title, high-quality management, and adequate infrastructure are available. For more information, please visit Forward-Looking Statements – Certain statements in this press release regarding anticipated financial and other benefits of Rayonier's business strategies, including the sale of the entities holding its interest in the New Zealand joint venture, the anticipated use of proceeds, and other similar statements relating to Rayonier's future events, developments or financial or operational performance or results, are 'forward-looking statements' made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as 'may,' 'will,' 'should,' 'expect,' 'estimate,' 'believe,' 'intend,' 'project,' 'anticipate' and other similar language. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements that may have been made in this document: Rayonier's ability to realize the anticipated benefits from the sale, the cyclical and competitive nature of the industries in which Rayonier operates; fluctuations in demand for, or supply of, Rayonier's forest products and real estate offerings, including any downturn in the housing market; entry of new competitors into Rayonier's markets; changes in global economic conditions and world events, including the war in Ukraine and heightened tensions in the Middle East; business disruptions arising from public health crises and outbreaks of communicable diseases; fluctuations in demand for Rayonier's products in Asia, and especially China; the uncertainties of potential impacts of climate-related initiatives; the cost and availability of third party logging, trucking and ocean freight services; the geographic concentration of a significant portion of Rayonier's timberland; Rayonier's ability to identify, finance and complete acquisitions; changes in environmental laws and regulations regarding timber harvesting, delineation of wetlands, and endangered species, that may restrict or adversely impact Rayonier's ability to conduct its business, or increase the cost of doing so; adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and other catastrophic events such as hurricanes, wind storms and wildfires, which can adversely affect Rayonier's timberlands and the production, distribution and availability of its products; interest rate and currency movements; Rayonier's capacity to incur additional debt; changes in tariffs, taxes or treaties relating to the import and export of Rayonier's products or those of its customers and competitors; changes in key management and personnel; Rayonier's ability to meet all necessary legal requirements to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust ('REIT') and changes in tax laws that could adversely affect beneficial tax treatment; the cyclical nature of the real estate business generally; the lengthy, uncertain and costly process associated with the ownership, entitlement and development of real estate, especially in Florida and Washington, which also may be affected by changes in law, policy and political factors beyond Rayonier's control; unexpected delays in the entry into or closing of real estate transactions; changes in environmental laws and regulations that may restrict or adversely impact Rayonier's ability to sell or develop properties; the timing of construction and availability of public infrastructure; and the availability and cost of financing for real estate development and mortgage loans. For additional factors that could impact future results, please see Item 1A - Risk Factors in Rayonier's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and similar discussion included in other reports that we subsequently file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC'). Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and Rayonier undertakes no duty to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law. You are advised, however, to review any further disclosures Rayonier makes on related subjects in its subsequent reports filed with the SEC. *Non-GAAP Financial Measures – To supplement Rayonier's financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ('GAAP'), Rayonier has presented certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures, including 'cash available for distribution.' This non-GAAP financial measure is derived by excluding certain capital spending (excluding timberland acquisitions and real estate development investments) and work capital and other balance sheet changes from cash provided by operating activities. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from this non-GAAP financial measure is a matter of management judgment and depends upon a number of factors in reliance on the exception provided by item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Rayonier is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measure without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, Rayonier believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. This non-GAAP financial measure is a preliminary estimate and is subject to risks and uncertainties. Rayonier's definition of this non-GAAP measure may differ from any similarly titled measure used by others. This non-GAAP measure should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
