Drive smarter, drive greener: Sustainable transportation for Earth Day

Moving Smarter, Moving Greener: Sustainable Transport for Earth Day

Every year on April 22, the world celebrates Earth Day, a global movement dedicated to protecting our planet. At Perlitch Transport, sustainability isn’t just something we think about once a year — it’s a core value woven into daily operations. It’s not just a trend; it’s an essential part of how we move freight: efficiently, responsibly, and with purpose.

In an industry that plays a critical role in global supply chains, we believe in making meaningful strides to reduce our environmental impact while continuing to deliver the reliability and efficiency our partners count on.

Sustainability in Transportation: Our Commitment to a Cleaner Planet

Here’s how we’re driving change in the transportation industry as a SmartWay Certified carrier:

SmartWay Certification – By partnering with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), we ensure our trucking operations meet rigorous fuel-efficiency and emission-reduction standards. This means less pollution, lower fuel consumption, and a smaller carbon footprint in every shipment.

Optimized Routes – By leveraging advanced route planning with our TMS software, we minimize empty miles, reduce fuel waste, and cut unnecessary emissions. Fewer empty trucks on the road mean a cleaner environment for everyone.

Fleet Upgrades – We invest in modern, fuel-efficient vehicles equipped with the latest technology, which helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions. By upgrading our fleet, we’re not only improving sustainability but also enhancing safety and reliability.

Eco-Conscious Office Practices – For us, sustainability doesn’t stop on the road. We implement green office initiatives, from reducing paper waste and recycling to encouraging energy-efficient practices in our facilities. We believe that when practiced consistently, small actions create a significant impact.

Why Sustainability Matters in OTR Transport

The trucking industry contributes significantly to global emissions, but we believe there’s a better way forward. At Perlitch Transport, we’re committed to moving freight responsibly without compromising on quality or efficiency. Embracing sustainable trucking supports a healthier planet and helps businesses achieve their corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals — building cleaner supply chains and driving toward a greener future.
