“The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) applauds the renewal of your SmartWay partnership and looks forward to working with you to achieve your freight efficiency goals,” said Langston Jones, Partner Account Manager Assisting the EPA SmartWay Transport Partnership under a Cooperative Agreement with SSAI.
Adam Mook, Compliance Department Manager for Logistics Plus, added, “Our partnership with SmartWay the past decade is another confirmation to our customers and carriers that Logistics Plus is doing its part for environmental sustainability.”
