At Dovtail, we help reduce empty miles by creating more efficient freight opportunities — lowering emissions for both shippers and carriers. We're committed to supporting our customers' decarbonization efforts through tailored logistics strategies and transparent carbon footprint reporting.
Smarter Driving
At Dovtail, we aim to set the standard for efficiency in freight. Minimizing empty miles is one of the most impactful and achievable ways to reduce the environmental footprint of truckload operations.
SmartWay
Dovtail is a proud partner of SmartWay, the EPA program focused on reducing emissions and improving efficiency across the freight transportation sector. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we actively encourage our partner carriers to join SmartWay and align with our shared environmental values.
Fuel Efficiency
To reduce the climate impact of our operations, Dovtail is actively investing in low- and zero-emission vehicles. In select markets, we’ve introduced electric vans for last-mile deliveries, with plans to expand this fleet.
Smarter Planning / Drop Trailers
Drop trailers are trailers that carriers leave at a shipper’s location for loading or unloading at a later time. This approach allows carriers to move on to other shipments without delay, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by minimizing idle time and empty miles.
