GREEN BAY, Wis. — Start with a fleet traveling a mind-boggling 10 million miles each day. Add a 35-plus-year track record of investing in equipment, processes and technology to run one of the most energy-efficient fleets in the industry. Top it off with being named a six-time EPA SmartWay Awards of Excellence winner and it’s easy to understand why the transportation, intermodal and logistics company known for orange has proven it also has an affinity for another color: green.

Schneider was recently recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for outstanding environmental performance and proven efficiency of freight management operations with a SmartWay Excellence Award. Reserved for the top 2 percent of SmartWay’s 3,000 members, it is the EPA’s highest recognition for organizations that significantly reduce the environmental impacts of the freight sector.

A charter member of the EPA’s voluntary SmartWay program, Schneider exceeded the EPA’s 2014 fuel reduction and environmental performance goals to earn the recognition, with a 22 percent reduction in carbon dioxide, 39 percent reduction in nitrogen oxide and 30 percent reduction in particulate matter year-over-year.

If they are ma king all those reductions year after year after year.........



Shouldn'tthey be absorbing stuff back out of the atmosphere at this point?
 
Let's not forget that their trucks idle so the drivers stay comfortable. My company is smaller, much smaller, we pull brand new fuel efficient trailers, new reefers, brand new trucks that have all that epa crap on them, and all trucks are equipped with idle shutdowns and APU for driver comfort. Where's our award, or is this something you pay for...
