No Comments

THOMASVILLE, N.C. (Oct. 3, 2016) - Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. was honored with a SmartWay Excellence Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the second consecutive year.

This award celebrates Old Dominion as an industry leader in freight supply chain environmental performance and energy efficiency.

"Working with the SmartWay program, Old Dominion has adopted technologies across our fleet to reduce our emissions impact while maintaining our premium service commitment to customers," said David Congdon, vice chairman of the board and CEO, Old Dominion Freight Line. "We're proud that our work has been recognized, alongside the other strong companies chosen for this honor."

Old Dominion is one of 42 truck carriers to receive this distinction, representing the best environmental performers of SmartWay's more than 3,500 partners. The carrier Excellence Awardees were honored at the American Trucking Associations Management Conference and Exhibition in Las Vegas, NV, on Oct. 3.

"As the SmartWay program completes its 12th year, EPA recognizes its top carrier partners for their commitment to an efficient and environmentally responsible freight transportation supply chain," said Christopher Grundler, EPA's office director of Transportation & Air Quality. "We all depend on the freight sector, and these award-winning SmartWay carriers have demonstrated that it is possible to compete in this space while placing an emphasis on environmental integrity, allowing for reduced fuel costs which increase revenue while also lowering greenhouse gas emissions."

Old Dominion has been a SmartWay Transport partner since 2008. The partnership is 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.
