Our Environmental Goal

We recognize the importance of addressing climate change. That's why we've announced a new goal to reduce our carbon emission intensity by 32% by 2034*. We'll focus on three key areas to reach this target: incorporating alternative powered equipment into our fleet, expanding the use of biogenic fuels, and improving fuel economy (diesel powered miles-per-gallon “MPG”).

Energy Efficient Equipment

We maintain a fleet with an average truck age under three years, which allows us to utilize equipment with the latest emission-reduction technologies, tractor aerodynamics, direct drive transmissions, idle reduction technologies and automated manual transmissions with predictive cruise control.

Exploring Alternative Energy

Biodiesel and renewable diesel are fundamental to our fuel purchasing. We're also evaluating renewable natural gas, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and battery electric trucks. We believe testing and advocating for environmental stewardship contributes to progress in this space.
