Shipping Facts

According to statistics compiled The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in cooperation with other U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)*, 29% of all trucks on US highways and roads run empty. This results in 15 Billion gallons of fuel wasted each year at a cost of $30 Billion. Perhaps even more worrying is the cost to our environment. In terms of the US Carbon footprint, 149 million tons of Carbon are being needlessly released into the atmosphere due to the wasted fuel.       29% of all trucks on US roads and highways run empty.       Empty trucks cost the economy $30 Billion.       149 million tons of Carbon emissions are released each year due to this waste.
