Sustainability in freight is routing discipline: fewer deadhead miles, smarter capacity, and carrier partners investing in cleaner equipment.
We reduce our footprint by prioritizing SmartWay-certified carriers across our network. Carriers are screened for fuel efficiency and emissions performance before they ever enter our active pool.
Empty miles and partial loads are waste. We optimize routing, consolidate LTL freight, and coordinate multi-stop shipments to cut unnecessary truck movements on every lane we operate.
Sustainability starts with who we work with. Our vetting screens for safety, compliance, and environmental standards. Carriers who do not meet our bar do not haul our freight.
Sustainability in logistics is not just good for the environment, it is good for business. We build environmental responsibility into every part of how we operate: the carriers we work with, the routes we plan, the loads we consolidate, and the data we share with our partners.
We do not treat sustainability as a checkbox or a marketing statement. It lives inside our carrier vetting, our routing decisions, and our commitment to transparency, because the logistics industry has a real role to play in reducing emissions, and Gateway intends to lead.
Anyone can claim to be sustainable. Gateway holds the certifications to prove it.
