Transtex, a leading manufacturer of aerodynamic solutions for trailers, presented the award in recognition of Averitt’s continued use of EDGE Trailer Skirts and EDGE Top Kits. These devices reduce aerodynamic drag on trailers, helping lower fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
As a result of its commitment, Averitt has achieved the following cumulative savings and environmental benefits:
- 69,322 metric tons of CO2 reduced
- 6,809,672 gallons of diesel fuel saved
“Responsible growth means doing the right thing for our associates, our customers, and our communities,” said Gary Sasser, Averitt’s chairman and chief executive officer. “We are honored by this recognition from Transtex, as it reflects our long-standing commitment to sustainability and innovation. We’ll continue to explore new ways to reduce our environmental footprint and operate more efficiently across our entire network.”
