Averitt's Road to Sustainability

Use technology that gathers data and measures FUEL EFFICIENCY on an individual tractor level.

Use leading-edge software to PLAN ROUTES EFFICIENTLY and alert drivers to the most cost-effective fueling locations.

Use an automated vehicle ID program that lets drivers bypass weigh stations – REDUCING UNNECESSARY IDLING .

Equip tractors and trailers with LED LIGHTS to reduce light bulb failures and replacements.

Use “Eco-roll” and coast modes to let tractors coast on downgrades and stay in cruise control mode on level grades to MAXIMIZE MPG .

Offer both truckload and intermodal services to provide outstanding transit times and more FUEL-EFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION .

THAT’S JUST THE BEGINNING We continue to move forward on the road to responsibility. Whether it’s through smarter energy use, environmental advocacy, or eco-friendly technology, we never stop finding new and better ways to ensure the impact we make on our environment and in our communities is a positive one.

Improve AERODYNAMICS through such modifications as roof fairings, cab extenders, skirt packages, and more.

CAPTURE 100% of the Freon when servicing our tractor A/C units and recycle accordingly.

Utilize engines with the latest technology in exhaust, gas, and soot regeneration to REDUCE EMISSIONS .

Use LOW-VISCOSITY LUBRICANTS and engine oils for less frequent maintenance service and fewer waste products.

Use automatic transmissions with predictive cruise and coast modes for level grades and downgrades to help INCREASE MPG .

RECYCLE all scrap metal created from in-house maintenance and body work on tractors and trailers.
