We are a SmartWay partner!
The SmartWay® Program is a public-private initiative between EPA, large and small trucking companies, rail carriers, logistics companies, commercial manufacturers, retailers, and other federal and state agencies. Its purpose is to improve fuel efficiency and the environmental performance (reduction of both greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution) of the goods movement supply chains.
SmartWay aims to accelerate the availability, adoption and market penetration of advanced fuel efficient technologies and operational practices in the freight supply chain, while helping companies save fuel, lower costs and reduce adverse environmental impacts. EPA helps SmartWay Partners move more goods, more miles with lower emissions and less energy.
We are long standing members of DACA ! DACA is a club of selective regional freight carriers of which we are a member . Not any carrier can just join. You have to be voted in and meet certain criteria. DACA was formed on November 17, 1971. A dozen transportation executives from around the country, interested in distribution and consolidation, sat down in a Dallas hotel and formulated the guidelines for an organization that eventually came to be known as Distributors and Consolidators of America. Ira P. Jones, a long-time Texas trucking executive of Southwest Freight Distributors in Dallas, TX, was the guiding force in DACA’s infancy. He envisioned a bright future for the consolidation and distribution of a variety of goods, primarily for the retail trade.
Today, Rich Eberhart as President of Southwest Freight continues on as a former DACA President, helping to guide the organization with continued success and expansion of its members providing transportation, warehousing and logistics throughout North America and now internationally. In addition, John Wagner, of Wagner Cartage was one of the founders and today, his son, John Wagner, Jr. continues in the DACA membership as Wagner Industries.
