Shared Truckload Eliminates 16,000 Metric Tons of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in 2020

By using technology to move trucks on a direct route, freight shippers are finding more and more that sustainable shipping not only benefits the earth but also their bottom lines.


Shared Truckload: Freight for a Better World

Flock Freight’s mission is to relentlessly eliminate waste and inefficiency.

By using their technology to move trucks on a direct route, they are reducing the carbon intensity of freight, one shipment at a time.

How Shared Truckload Reduces Emissions and Streamlines an Industry:

  1. Shared truckload shipments do not pick up and deliver along inefficient LTL routes, reducing greenhouse gas emissions up to 40%
  2. Because shared truckload shipments only load and unload once, energy isn’t wasted on forklifts and other equipment needed to transload the freight
  3. Removing the need for carbon-intensive LTL hubs means that space can be used for other things, like parks or new businesses
  4. 99.9% of shared truckload shipments move damage-free, meaning you’re eliminating the environmental risks of remanufacturing and shipping duplicate goods
  5. FlockDirect is the only way to guarantee a shared truckload experience
  6. In 2020, their goal is to reduce carbon emissions from the trucking industry by 5,000 metric tons of CO2 through a shared truckload
