TQL is tackling climate change through three efforts: partnering with industry experts, reducing empty miles and food waste, and promoting less carbon intensive modes and services. We’re dedicated to minimizing our environmental footprint by partnering with sustainability focused organizations. Last year, in collaborating with SmartWay, an EPA program, we moved over 370,000 loads more sustainably through their certified carriers. Supported by the American Chemistry Council and Together for Sustainability, who help set industry standards, we take great care in transporting materials that could pose environmental risks if mishandled, like chemicals. We also have our own in-house programs that reduce waste. We’re finding more ways to make sure Through our operational food salvage process and our charitable Moves that Matter program, we redistributed 630,000 pounds of food in 2022. Wasted food isn’t our only focus. Empty Miles are freight waste! They are miles driven without any freight. We’re on our way to eliminating 45 million empty miles by 2025 by combining the power of our carrier network and proprietary technology. While we’re reducing truckload empty miles, we’re also proud to offer Intermodal services, which have a significantly reduced carbon footprint than trucks. Connect with us to learn more about how you can partner with TQL to drive sustainable solutions. We can make a greater impact together.
