Environmental Strategy
Lean, Mean & Green
As a transportation provider, we have a corporate responsibility to reduce our carbon footprint. We have partnered with Smartway Transport to lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduce air pollution and increase fuel efficiency.
Environmental performance is a shared commitment and requires the cooperation of all parts of society. We are determined to continue to provide leadership within our sphere of influence.
We have initiated clean air strategies to honor our commitment to the environment:
- Late model tractors
- To lower emissions and maximize fuel efficiency
- Aerodynamic trailer skirts
- To minimize drag and improve air flow
- Low-viscosity lubricants
- To reduce friction and energy losses, lowering the amount of wasted fuel
- Automatic tire inflation system
- To extend tire life and ensure proper tire pressure to improve efficiency
- ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE
- Reduce paper waste and promote a paper-free work environment
- APUs
- Auxiliary Power Units provide an energy efficient alternative to relying on the truck engine for providing electrical power. Reduces fuel use and maintenance frequency
- Company-wide recycling programs
