Jim Filter, Schneider’s executive vice president and president of transportation and logistics, will succeed Rourke as the company’s president and CEO. Filter, who has been with the company for 27 years, is also expected to be appointed to the board at a later date.
The company said Monday that Michael Baumgardt has been named executive vice president of the intermodal and logistics units. Baumgardt has been with the company in various leadership roles since 2001, most recently serving as senior vice president and general manager of intermodal.
Schneider’s intermodal and logistics segments generated $2.4 billion in combined revenue over the last 12 months.

Wells has been president of Schneider subsidiary Cowan Systems since November 2024, when Schneider announced it would acquire the carrier. Wells has been with Cowan for 27 years and served as chief operating officer from 2019 to 2024.
Scheider’s truckload business generated $2.5 billion in revenue during the last 12 months.
“As we look ahead to a new chapter, I am confident the tightly aligned structure we are announcing today will help us remain nimble, maintain close relationships with our customers and continue building a stronger, more agile Schneider for the future,” said Filter. “Our strategy empowers accountable leaders and engaged teams to accelerate growth and drive efficiency.”
