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
