Shared truckload: Freight for a better world
Lower your company’s environmental impact with carbon neutral shared truckload shipping. Every time a shipper books our guaranteed shared truckload service, FlockDirect, at the point of sale, we reverse the impact of that shipment with carbon credits — for free.
Here’s how we offer our carbon neutral shared truckload service: FlockDirect
Shared truckload shipments do not pickup and deliver along inefficient LTL routes, reducing greenhouse gas emissions up to 40%.
Because shared truckload shipments only load and unload once, energy isn’t wasted on forklifts and other equipment needed to transload the freight.
Removing the need for carbon-intensive LTL hubs means there’s more space for planet-friendly amenities, like parks.
99.9% of shared truckload shipments move damage-free, thereby eliminating the environmental risks of remanufacturing and shipping duplicate goods.
We erase the remaining impact of FlockDirect shipments by supporting Carbonfund.org carbon offset projects. When shippers book FlockDirect at the point of sale, we buy carbon credits to offset that shipment’s remaining fuel emissions — at no extra cost to the shipper.
In 2021, our goal is to reduce carbon emissions from the trucking industry by 20,000 metric tons of CO2e through FlockDirect.
