"It's an honor to be recognized for our efforts to drive sustainability in the transportation space," Waggoner said. "As a leader in our industry, Echo is uniquely positioned to demonstrate how successful sustainable transportation solutions can be. Through environmentally conscious transportation, such as Intermodal and Retail Consolidation, we're able to minimize carbon emissions while saving time and money for our clients."

Echo offers solutions for all major modes, including services which naturally lower carbon emissions. One example is Retail Consolidation, which consolidates shipments bound for the same location into one load, enabling a more direct delivery process while limiting the number of trucks on the road. This also cuts down on product handling while improving on-time and in full (OTIF) performance. Learn more about Retail Consolidation: Retail Consolidation | Echo Global Logistics.

"Echo has been a longtime leader in sustainable transportation solutions," said Jay Gustafson, Executive Vice President of Brokerage Operations. "As a partner in the EPA SmartWay program, we're able to track and report emissions for carriers, ensuring we not only minimize carbon outputs, but also identify direct delivery routes and lower fuel costs."
