Are you concerned about your company’s carbon footprint when you ship freight? If so, you can take action by choosing to become a SmartWay Transport Partner Shipper. SmartWay is a program developed by the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce transportation-related emissions, reduce fuel consumption and improve the air quality for future generations.
As a SmartWay Shipper, you quantify your current environmental performance level according to SmartWay standards and then track your progress toward achieving better environmental performance. You can further improve by committing to ship at least 50% of your goods using SmartWay Logistics Partners. Further actions can include SmartWay shipper strategies such as “no-idling” policies at docks and modifying business practices at distribution centers and warehouses.
TQL is a SmartWay Transport Logistics Partner because we are committed to promoting greater energy efficiency and air quality within the freight transport sector. As a SmartWay Logistics Partner, we assist freight carriers in making better choices for their businesses and the environment and enable our shippers to move more freight with SmartWay Transport Carrier Partners to help improve your transportation footprint.
