We continually seek out and implement power and waste reduction technologies and techniques” said Greg Koepel Roehl Transport Vice President. “Our initiatives extend well beyond our equipment to our facilities and teammates too” he added.

The SmartWay Program a public-private partnership between the EPA and transportation-related companies celebrates 10 years as a market-driven initiative that empowers businesses to move goods in the cleanest most energy-efficient way possible while protecting public health and reducing the impacts of climate change.
