ABF Receives SmartWay Excellence Award
ABF Freight has received a 2018 SmartWay Freight Carrier Excellence Award. Each year, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes the top freight carriers for superior environmental performance and additional
actions to reduce freight emissions. ABF Freight has been a SmartWay partner since 2006 and received a
SmartWay Excellence Award in 2014. Since 1976, ABF Freight has been conserving fuel and reducing emissions
by voluntarily limiting the maximum speed of its trucks. Since 1994, all new ABF Freight trucks include computerized
engine shut-offs to automatically reduce idling, which further reduces fuel consumption and limits emissions.
The 40 award recipients were chosen from over 3,700 companies and organizations participating in the SmartWay
program. They were honored October 29 during the 2018 American Trucking Associations Management
Conference & Exhibition in Austin, Texas.
