Green and Sustainable Freight Shipping

You may already know that the freight industry is one of the biggest greenhouse gas emissions contributors. This is why we’ve made it our mission to do everything in our power to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible without compromising the service and pricing we offer our customers.

Using our system, as soon as you get your freight quote, you can see the impact you will be making using any specific carrier.

From the average emissions according to the industry standard, to the various levels of CO2 emission savings — you can see them all, indicated clearly on your Freightera quote page.

While some carriers are making a move towards trucks with lower CO2 emissions, the greenest option available when it comes to moving freight on land is by rail.

Rail carriers do still use trucks to get cargo to and from rail yards, but for everything in-between, they use trains.

By transporting freight through Canada, the USA or cross-border, our green carriers have managed to reduce emissions up to 60%.

Over the last year alone we’ve reduced our shippers’ contribution to CO2 emissions by 20% or more.

Using Freightera’s services you will be shipping your freight both greener and cheaper. Albeit a tiny bit slower, rail carriers reduce CO2 emissions by a sizable amount while maintaining, on average, lower shipping prices. One freight train can haul many trucks’ worth of freight at once.
