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 pick up and deliver along efficient routes, reducing greenhouse gas emissions for LTL freight by up to 40%.
Because shared truckload shipments only load and unload once, they don’t waste energy on forklifts or other trans-loading equipment.
Removing the need for carbon-intensive LTL hubs means there’s more space for planet-friendly amenities, like parks.
Shared truckload shipments incur significantly less damage than LTL freight, reducing the environmental risks of remanufacturing and reshipping broken goods.
We erase the remaining impact of FlockDirect shipments by supporting Carbonfund.org carbon offset projects. When shippers book FlockDirect at point of sale, we buy carbon credits to offset that shipment’s remaining fuel emissions — at no extra cost to the customer.
In 2021, our goal is to reduce carbon emissions from the trucking industry by 20,000 metric tons of CO2e through FlockDirect.
