Late Model Equipment - By operating late model equipment we are able to take advantage of increased fuel efficiencies as well as reduction in emissions.

Efficiency Incentive Program - A compelling incentive program to encourage our drivers to partner with us in the initiative to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by implementing better driving habits. We support this strategy by providing transparent access into fuel economy data to all employees.

Auxiliary Power Unit & Bunk Climate Control - The use of APU and bunk climate control devices greatly reduces the need for engine idle while ensuring the safety and comfort of our drivers.

Local Impact Initiatives - We are actively engaged in managing our local impact on the environment through recycling programs, proper disposal of core parts and the use of waste oil heaters.

Continuous Process Refinement - We are always looking for cutting edge ways to increase efficiency and reduce environmental impact. We are testing super single tires, low drag trailers, adjusting equipment specifications, fuel additives, nitrogen filled tires and a host of other options to become more efficient.

Back Office Efficiency - Through the use of electronic document archival tools we are reducing paper waste. Data center virtualization enables us to significantly reduce power consumption and cooling requirements. |
