     Becoming a SmartWay Transport Shipper Makes Good  Business Sense
          Improve Your Savings by Improving your Environmental
          Performance:
          SmartWay Transport Partners use freight carriers that are improving
          their own fuel efficiency while shippers are improving the efficiency
          of shipping and receiving operations. This translates to money saved
          and reduced environmental impacts from your freight shipping. As a
          SmartWay Transport Partner, you will have the information necessary
          to make beneficial decisions regarding carrier selection.

          Quantify your Environmental Achievements:
          Emission reductions may be valuable on the open market through
          trading and credit programs already in development nationally and
          internationally.  EPA's FLEET Performance Shipper Model allows you
          to track and manage your greenhouse gas emission reductions from
          freight activities.
                          "Businesses have an opportunity and
                          a responsibility to do what they can to
                          protect the environment. It's important
