What is the SmartWay Transport Partnership
Trucking companies are becoming more and more environmentally conscious as well as fiscally conscious. These days the two go hand in hand with rising fuel costs. The SmartWay Transport Partnership as it pertains to the trucking industry is a program that provides the trucking industry with EPA certified vehicles that are equipped and outfitted at the point of sale with equipment that significantly reduces fuel usage and makes trucks operate more efficiently. Being a SmartWay partner not only identifies the trucking company or truck manufacturer as someone who cares about the future of the environment but it also shows the management of that company is searching for ways to operate more efficiently and to reduce overall costs.
A movement that several years ago was criticized as something put together by “environmentalist wackos ” has now become good business and well accepted in the transportation industry.
