As the urgency to combat climate change intensifies, one of the significant initiatives is to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This means that within the supply chain, every truck move counts. There is power in streamlining a company’s transportation to reduce the number of unnecessary truck moves and reduce its corresponding CO2 emissions.

You can derive your CO2 emissions by looking at how much freight you transport, the distance that freight travels, and the specific mode of transport used.  According to the Environmental Defense Fund, a 300-mile truck transport of a 20-ton freight will emit one metric ton of CO2 to the environment.
