With the number of tractor trailers required to support our economy, emissions control is becoming a significant issue and socially conscious companies face increasing pressure as to how they plan on or are helping to reduce emissions as part to of their overall carbon footprint reduction.

I was reading an article in USA TODAY ?on page 3A of the May 26th 2011 edition By Larry Copeland titled Traffic emissions blamed in 2,200 deaths. The article sited a study by The Harvard Center for Risk Analysis that states congestion in the USA?s 83 largest urban areas last year led to more than 2,200 deaths and a related public health cost of $18B. WOW!

There certainly is a lot to think about here.

We look forward to and appreciate your comments.
