Section 1—Basic Information for Logistics Companies
This section covers frequently asked questions and essential information about the SmartWay Transport
Partnership and how logistics companies can participate.
What is the SmartWay Transport Partnership?
Launched in 2003, the SmartWay Transport Partnership is a public/private collaboration between the
EPA and the freight industry to improve fuel efficiency, increase environmental performance, and
encourage supply chain sustainability.
Seven types of freight transport companies can join SmartWay.
•	Freight shippers
•	Logistics companies (including 3PLS/4PLS1)
•	Truck carriers
•	Rail carriers
•	Barge carriers
•	Air carriers
•	Multimodal carriers
Companies join the SmartWay Transport Partnership by submitting a Partner Tool to SmartWay. The
SmartWay Tools (1) assess freight operations, (2) calculate fuel consumption and carbon footprints, and
(3) track fuel-efficiency and emission reductions. SmartWay Tools must be submitted each year for the
company to remain a partner in good standing. Tools submitted and approved on time qualify partners
to use the SmartWay Logo.
SmartWay ranks Partners' efficiency and environmental performance and recognizes superior
performance through the SmartWay Excellence Awards.
Why Do Logistics Companies Join the SmartWay Transport Partnership?
The SmartWay Transport Partnership provides logistics companies with ways to reduce the
environmental impact of their freight operations and address costs. Designed with and for the freight
sector, the SmartWay Transport Partnership delivers solutions to marketplace needs and challenges.
With access to the latest in EPA-tested technologies and peer-provided success stories, carriers that join
the SmartWay Transport Partnership can gain a better understanding of their environmental footprint
and assert their corporate leadership.
Additionally, SmartWay Partners are associated with an internationally recognized and respected brand
that symbolizes cleaner, more efficient transportation choices.
Logistics companies that join SmartWay move significant amounts of freight with SmartWay Carriers.
The higher efficiency of carriers in SmartWay compared to non-SmartWay carriers gives SmartWay
logistics companies an opportunity to improve corporate freight efficiency, reduce their carbon
footprint, and voluntarily advance freight sustainability for themselves and their customers.

-------
Participation in SmartWay helps SmartWay Logistics Partners
•	identify opportunities to improve efficiency,
•	demonstrate efficiency to customers and stakeholders,
•	evaluate and compare carrier performance, and
•	determine the company's transportation carbon footprint.
SmartWay provides logistics companies with free Tools that help assess and compare various freight
transportation options with detailed reports and analyses that support better business decision making.
How Do Logistics Companies Join the SmartWay Transport Partnership?
Logistics companies join SmartWay by submitting a SmartWay Logistics Tool (hereafter known as the
"Logistics Tool," or simply, the "Tool.")
Logistics companies that submit Tools that are approved by EPA are known as "SmartWay Logistics
Company Partners."
When a logistics company submits a Logistics Tool to EPA, they agree to the requirements stipulated in
the SmartWay Logistics Company Partnership Agreement-notably, that they will measure and report
the emissions performance of their company annually and provide supporting documentation to EPA
upon request.
All SmartWay Logistics Company Partners agree to complete and submit the SmartWay Logistics Tool to:
•	define business unit(s) composition
•	characterize company activity
•	individually benchmark multiple business units
•	track annual changes in performance
Upon approval of a Logistics Tool submission, a logistics company will be identified as a SmartWay
Logistics Partner on EPA's website, on the SmartWay Partner List, and in a database used to identify
companies that meet SmartWay's annual requirements. The carrier will also receive information on
how to access its current SmartWay registration document.
How Do I Join if My Parent Company Has Multiple Business Units?
Companies that join the SmartWay partnership should include all of their business units in their
submission. If a company wishes to list multiple business units in the Logistics Tool, they should list
these business units as their customers can hire them. Internal fleets invisible to a customer should not
be listed separately. Companies will be listed at the Company level in the SmartWay Partner list on the
SmartWay website, and each individually defined fleet will appear as a separate entity in the SmartWay
Carrier Data file that customers use to identify which fleets they do business with in the Logistics Tool.
SmartWay Logistics Partner Tool Quick Start Guide | Page 7

-------
SmartWay highly recommends developing your list of business units before
beginning your data entry process. Any business unit that a shipper could
hire directly should be listed	oarate business unit in your Logistics
Tool submission.
The best strategy is to have a clear idea of how to define your companies
before filling out the Tool.
What Data Do I Need to Gather to Complete the Logistics Tool?
To participate in SmartWay, logistics companies need to gather the following essential information to
complete the Logistics Tool:
•	The official company name, EXACTLY as you would like it presented on the EPA website
•	Company contact information
•	Contact details for your Working Contact
•	Contact details for an Executive Contact (cannot be the same as the Working Contact)
•	A comprehensive list of business units, including:
o Business unit details, such as:
¦	Standard Carrier Alpha Codes (SCACs)
Motor Carrier Numbers (MCNs)
¦	US DOT Number
¦	National Safety Codes (NSCs)
¦	Business Unit Type
o Business unit focus (e.g., logistics provider, freight forwarder, freight broker, truck
carrier, or rail freight broker)
o Operation categories
•	Data sources for all data to be entered
•	SmartWay ID number (if this is not your first Tool submission)
This data must be provided for all of your company's fleets. This data reflects the amount of freight
carried by each carrier, the distance that freight is carried, and the fuel consumed to carry the freight.
SmartWay Logistics Partner Tool Quick Start Guide | Page 8

-------
What is Included in the SmartWay Logistics Company Partnership
Agreement?
To join the SmartWay Transport Partnership as a Logistics Company, you must agree to the language on
the "Partnership Agreement for Logistics Companies." When you begin working within the Tool, you will
be asked to check a box stating that you agree to the terms of the Partnership Agreement. This
agreement must be renewed annually.
Please review this language with the appropriate personnel within your organization before completing
or submitting a Tool to EPA. Your company's Executive Contact must approve this agreement.
Partnership Agreement for Logistics Companies
With this agreement, your company joins EPA's SmartWay Transport Partnership and commits to:
1.	Measure and report to EPA on an annual basis the environmental performance of your fleet(s)
using EPA's SmartWay Logistics Tool. (Existing fleets must report the 12 months of data for the
prior year ending December 31. Newly formed companies require a minimum of 3 months of
operational data.)
2.	Allow EPA to post performance results on the EPA SmartWay website/database.
3.	Agree to submit supporting documentation to EPA for any data used to complete this Tool and
agree to EPA audit of this data upon request by EPA.
4.	Treat individual corporate data as sensitive business information.
In return, EPA commits to:
1.	Promote company participation in the Partnership by posting Partner names on the EPA SmartWay
website and in related educational, promotional, and media materials. EPA will obtain express
written consent from the Partner before using the Partner's name other than in the context of
increasing public awareness of its participation as described here.
2.	Provide companies with industry-wide performance benchmark data as this data becomes available
to EPA.2
3.	Assist Partners in achieving emission and fuel usage reduction goals (subject to Federal Government
Appropriations).
General Terms
1.	If the Partner or EPA defaults upon this agreement at any point, the agreement shall be considered
null and void.
2.	Either party can terminate the agreement at any time without prior notification or penalties or any
further obligation.
3.	EPA agrees not to comment publicly regarding the withdrawal of specific partners.
4.	EPA reserves the right to suspend or revoke Partner status for any Partner that fails to accomplish
the specific actions to which it committed in the SmartWay Transport Partnership Agreement and
subsequent annual Agreements.
5.	The Partner agrees that it will not claim or imply that its participation in the SmartWay Transport
Partnership constitutes EPA approval or endorsement of anything other than the Partner's
commitment to the program. The Partner will not make statements or imply that EPA endorses the
purchase or sale of the Partner's products and services or the views of the organization.
2 Individual corporate data will be treated as sensitive business information.
SmartWay Logistics Partner Tool Quick Start Guide | Page 9

-------
6. Submittal of this SmartWay Logistics Tool annually constitutes agreement to all terms in this
Partnership Agreement. No separate agreement need be submitted.
What Software and Hardware is Required for Completing the SmartWay
Logistics Tool?
The Logistics Tool was designed in "Microsoft Excel Forms." Completing the Logistics Tool requires the
following software and hardware:
•	A 2003 or later version of Microsoft Excel
•	Excel security level set at Medium or lower
•	A PC running Windows XP or a newer operating system, or a Mac that is running the
Windows XP operating system (the Tool does not currently work using the Mac
operating system)
•	A minimum of 15 megabytes of free disk space. More disk space may be required based
on the number of companies you define in your Tool
•	Adequate memory (RAM) to run Microsoft Office
•	A monitor resolution of at least 1,024 x 768
NOTE: The Excel web application in MS Office 365 (the cloud-based version of the Office operating
system) does not currently support the macros used in the SmartWay tools. Therefore, SmartWay
tools do no function properly in Office 365 at this time.
Please check with the user guides for your computer, online support, or your company's IT department
to make sure your system is set up to use the Logistics Tool.
We encourage you to make sure that your virus software is up to date, and to scan your PC before
putting data in the Logistics Tool.

-------
Section 2— Overview of Data Collection Requirements
This section will explore the data needed for completing the required sections of the Logistics Tool.
Worksheets are provided in the Appendix of this guide to help you prepare your data before entering it
into the Logistics Tool.
Introductory Screens
Upon opening the 2016 Logistics Tool you will see a Welcome screen. Next you will find several
Introduction screens. If you are not familiar with the Tool, or if you wish to review the basic
organization and functions of the Tool, these screens can help you become oriented. The Assistance for
New Users screen appears first, and allows users to view an orientation video. Additional screens may
be accessed from this screen, including Tool selection guidance, data collection needs, Tool help and
navigation, the SmartWay Partner Schedule for 2017, and a link to the SmartWay website. These are
general information screens and may be skipped if you are already familiar with the Tool. However,
upon proceeding you MUST select the box at the bottom of the Partnership Agreement screen,
indicating that you agree to the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
Before proceeding to the Home screen you will see an "auto-population" screen. This screen allows
partners to input their SmartWay ID and automatically upload the information for the initial steps of the
Tool (Partner Name, Contact Information, and, for existing partners, Logistics Business Unit
Information), based on the prior year's submittal or, for new partners, information submitted through
the online Partner Application. This option can save time and ensure naming consistency for your
contacts and business unit(s) from year to year. If you do not have a SmartWay ID, or prefer to enter
this data manually, you may skip this step.
Establishing Your Data Collection Year
Before beginning your data collection, identify the last calendar year for which you have full annual (12
months) data. This means that you have data from January of the calendar year through December of
the same year. If you are submitting for the first time and do not have a full year of operational data,
please collect a minimum of three months' data for input into the SmartWay Tool. In your next update
year, you will be required to submit a full year's data.
SmartWay Logistics Partner Tool Quick Start Guide | Page 11

-------
Specify Official Partner Name
Your Partner Name is the official name that your customers would recognize for your company—in
other words, the name someone hiring you would look for.
You must specify your company's official Partner Name, exactly as you want it to appear on the
SmartWay website.
For example, if you enter:
•	ABC Company
•	ABC Company, Inc.
•	ABC COMPANY LLC
Your company will be listed exactly as you've entered above. Therefore, it is important to pay special
attention to proper capitalization, abbreviations, annotations, and punctuation.
If you selected the auto-populate option please review the Partner Name as it appears on the screen,
revising it as necessary.
Enter Contact Information
The SmartWay Tool asks for:
•	General company information such as location, web address, phone number, etc.
•	A Working Contact3 for any questions about your company's participation and Tool submissions
•	An Executive Contact4 for participation in awards and recognition events
•	Additional contacts (optional): Additional contacts may include anyone who is not the Working
Contact but may be involved with SmartWay (e.g., press/media contact, fleet manager, etc.).
Note that you MUST have at least two contacts listed in the contact information section of the Tool, and
the Working and Executive Contacts must be different. SmartWay recommends developing an internal
succession plan to make sure that your Logistics Carrier Tool submission schedule is maintained, in the
event that a Working Contact is reassigned, or leaves the company for any reason.
3	The Working Contact is the individual designated by the Executive Contact to directly interface with SmartWay regarding specific tasks
involved in the timely submission of the Tool. The Working Contact is responsible for coordinating the assembly of information to
complete/update company data; completing and updating the Tool itself; maintaining direct communication with SmartWay; and keeping
interested parties within the company apprised of relevant developments with SmartWay.) NOTE: To ensure that emails from SmartWay/EPA
are not blocked, new working contacts may need to add SmartWay/EPA to their preferred list of trusted sources.)
4	The Executive Contact is the company executive who is responsible for agreeing to the requirements in the SmartWay Partnership
Agreement, overseeing the Working Contact (as appropriate), and ensuring the timely submission of the Tool to SmartWay. The Executive
Contact also represents the company at awards/recognition events. This person should be a Vice President or higher-level representative for
the company.
SmartWay Logistics Partner Tool Quick Start Guide | Page 12

-------
Logistics Business Unit Characterization
The Logistics Tool tracks business unit-level operations. Most logistics companies should create one
business unit; i.e., one line.
However, if you have multiple business units that can be hired by customers individually, you should
create multiple business unit records in the Tool and characterize their operations individually. You
should not include internal company fleet definitions or designations—only separate business units as
they would be identified and hired by your customers.
There are three screens in the Business Unit Characterization section of the Tool:
•	Identify Logistics Business Units: For each business unit that a customer can hire, you will
be asked to establish a name. Each business unit name will begin with your Partner Name,
and will include a business unit identifier. Use a business unit identifier that is recognizable
by your customers.
•	Logistics Business Unit Details: For each business unit, you will be asked to provide SCACs,
MCN, DOT, and/or NSC numbers (optional-for fleet identification); define the business unit
as "for-hire," "private," or "dedicated."
•	Business Focus: For each business unit, you will need to specify the percent of overall
activity for each business focus category (e.g., logistics provider, freight forwarder, freight
broker, truck carrier, or rail freight broker).
Data requirements for these three screens are described in greater detail below.
"Identify Logistics Business Units" Screen
For each logistics business unit, you will need to specify:
•	Company Name: On the SmartWay website, each of your business unit names will begin with
the name of your company. This company name will be whatever you enter in the Company
Name field on the "Identify Logistics Business Units" screen. By default, the Company Name for
your first business unit on the screen is automatically populated with the first 50 characters of
the Partner Name that was entered on the Home screen. You should specify the Company Name
so that it appears EXACTLY as it you want it to show within each business unit name. (For
example, if your company's name includes "Inc." or "Ltd.", you may choose not to include that in
your fleet names.) Please pay special attention to proper capitalization, abbreviations, and
punctuation. Remember that this name will be automatically inserted at the start of each of
your business unit names on the SmartWay website.
•	Business Unit Identifier: Please make sure to specify each business unit identifier exactly as
you want it displayed on the SmartWay website, including proper capitalization, any
abbreviations, and punctuation. Remember that it will automatically be combined with your
SmartWay Logistics Partner Tool Quick Start Guide | Page 13

-------
Company Name. NOTE: If you have only one business unit, you may leave the Business Unit
Identifier field blank, in which case your business unit name will simply be your Company Name.
NOTE: Define your business units based on the ability of your customers to choose them. If a business
unit includes a mix of TL and LTL, you will indicate the percentages of each. If customers can choose to
hire your TL business unit, your LTL business unit, or your dray business unit separately, then each
should be regarded as a separate business unit.
"Logistic Business Unit Details" Screen
For each business unit, you will need to specify:
•	Standard Carrier Alpha Codes (SCACs): The Standard Carrier Alpha Code is a unique 2- to 4-
character alphabetic code used by the transportation industry to identify transportation
companies. If you cannot remember your SCACs, please contact the National Motor Freight
Traffic Association before proceeding (see http://www.nmfta.org/Pages/ContactUs.aspx.) You
can enter multiple SCACs by separating them with commas in the Tool. This field is optional and
may be left blank in the Tool.
•	Motor Carrier Numbers (MCNsl: The Motor Carrier Number is a 5-, 6- or 7- digit number
provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. This field is optional and may be
left blank in the Tool.
•	US DOT Number: This number is assigned to commercial vehicles hauling cargo in interstate
commerce by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. DOT numbers are strictly
numeric and can be up to 7 digits in length. This field is optional and may be left blank in the
Tool.
•	National Safety Code (NSC) Numbers: These are carrier identification numbers issued to fleets
with Canadian registration.
NOTE; Entering SCACs, MCNs, DOT, and NSC numbers are optional;
however, if you have this information you are encouraged to supply it to
help SmartWoy Shippers and Logistics companies identify you.
• Business Unit Type: Business Unit Type is defined as the service type for your business unit.
There are three options accepted by the Tool—"For-Hire," "Private," and "Dedicated". If your
company has only one business unit, your "Type" selection will reflect your company's
operations as a whole. If there are multiple business units, define each unit's type separately.
SmartWay Logistics Partner Tool Quick Start Guide | Page 14

-------
"Business Focus" Screen
For each business unit, you will need to specify the percent of overall activity for each Business Focus
Category:
•	Logistics Provider: Logistics providers are non-asset based third parties that provide multiple,
bundled logistics services. They may be involved in material management, transportation
management, inbound and outbound freight, inventory management, 4PL activities,
warehousing, cross dock, kitting, packaging, and sub assembly processes.
•	Freight Forwarder: Freight forwarders are documentation specialists and consolidators of
freight such as LTL (less than truckload) and LCL (less than container load). Freight forwarders
normally provide pickup and delivery for domestic and international shipments, and provide the
property transportation for a compensation or fee basis.
•	Freight Broker: A freight broker buys and sells transportation services and normally works on
behalf of a carrier or shipper.
•	Truck Carrier: Truck carriers operate their own managed fleet (owned or leased). These fleets
can be for-hire or private/dedicated. Refer to "Choosing the Right Tool for your Business Units"
in Part I of this guide to determine if you should complete the SmartWay Truck Tool for the
Truck Carrier portion of your operations.
•	Rail Freight Broker: Freight broker specializing in rail mode services.
Please use Worksheet #2 in Appendix A of this document to help you prepare your company's business
unit characterization information.
Download Latest SmartWay Carrier Data File
To ensure that the Logistics Tool gives you the most current list of SmartWay carriers to select from, you
must select the	button on the Home screen. Anew
box will appear next to the button indicating the "Date of Current Carrier File." You are now ready to
select carriers and enter activity data for each business unit.
You will not be able to input the required logistics fleet data in Step 5 without this file. You must have
an active Internet connection to perform this step.
SmartWay Logistics Partner Tool Quick Start Guide | Page 15

-------
Data Entry for Business Units
Now that you have defined your logistics business units, you will be asked to provide additional
information for EACH business unit separately.
Select Business Unit for Data Entry
On the Home screen, you will now see all the business units you created listed in the window below
item # 5: Data Entry.
There will be a status message after each business unit, indicating whether or not the data entry for that
business unit is complete. The following information may appear beside a business unit name:
•	Not checked - Data has not been entered yet.
•	Incomplete - Some data is still missing and/or inconsistent.
•	Complete - All data requirements have been met and validation has occurred.
In addition to the status indicators above, you may also see one of two qualifiers: "Errors" or
"Warnings."
•	Errors will prevent you from generating the metrics reports under the View Your Data Reports
section and must be addressed before you can submit your Tool to EPA.
•	Warnings will still allow you to proceed and submit your data to EPA. However, it is strongly
recommended that you carefully review each warning message before sending your data to EPA
so that you can anticipate questions that may come from a Partner Account Manager as a result
of your data being outside the expected ranges. The method addressing errors and warnings is
described for subsequent input screens in the following sections.
To add data to a particular business unit, highlight the business unit name and then double-click. You
will then proceed to the Tool Data Entry Screens.
Input Carriers Screens
To begin, you will need to identify the carriers included in each of your logistics business units. The
Instructions tab describes the three ways to populate the Tool with business unit information. The
Match My Carriers function allows Logistics Partners to find and match SmartWay carriers based on a
wide range of criteria, including their own internal carrier identification, such as carrier ID codes, to
records in their Tool submission from a prior year. You may also enter new codes for matching in future
years. Your company-specific match data is not shared with other companies. This matching process is
explained in detail on the Match My Carriers screen.
If you have a large number of carriers (e.g., as a large 3PL with 100 or more carriers), you may wish to
develop your carrier details separately and upload your data in a single file using the Outside Data
Import method. Alternatively, if your logistics business unit has a limited number of carriers, you may
specify your carriers one at a time using the Manual Input SmartWay Carriers Entry method. These
three methods are described in detail in the Logistics Tool Data Entry and Troubleshooting Guide.
SmartWay Logistics Partner Tool Quick Start Guide | Page 16

-------
Regardless of the method you choose, you will need to first identify the mode of transport for the
carrier. Six carrier mode selections are available, including:
•	Rail
•	Truck
•	Multimodal
•	Logistics
•	Barge
•	Air
(Note: By selecting "AN" on the Tool's Manual Input SmartWay Carriers screen, you may search across
all carriers, regardless of mode.)
Next, you may also specify a SmartWay Category for the Truck mode. Truck SmartWay Categories
include:
•	Auto Carrier
•	Dray
•	Expedited
•	Flatbed
•	Heavy/Bulk
•	LTL Dry Van
•	Mixed
•	Moving
•	Package
•	Refrigerated
•	Specialized
•	Tanker
•	TL Dry Van
SmartWay Category selections are not currently available for other modes but may be added in the
future. (Note: Multimodal selections list "Multimodal" as the SmartWay Category.)
After identifying the mode (and SmartWay Category, if available), you should identify each carrier's
specific fleet name, as listed in the SmartWay Carrier Data file, along with any associated SCACs, DOT
numbers, MCNs, and NSCs. The Carrier Data File must be downloaded from the SmartWay website by
selecting the button under Step 4 on the Logistics Tool Home screen. This data can then be viewed on
the Manual Input SmartWay Carriers screen or offline using Microsoft® Excel.
In certain cases, a carrier may have multiple fleets associated with its operations. The Manual Input
SmartWay Carriers screen allows you to filter carrier fleets by SCAC, MCN, DOT number, NSC, and/or
address if needed.
After identifying your SmartWay carriers, you must then go to the Manual Input Non-SmartWay
Carriers screen to enter the number of non-SmartWay carriers used by the current business unit. Only
include carriers used during the reporting year. Enter the total number of non-SmartWay partners within
the current business unit and check the box to confirm that all the non-SmartWay carriers in this
SmartWay Logistics Partner Tool Quick Start Guide | Page 17

-------
business unit have been added. If this business unit has non-SmartWay carriers, select the carrier
mode(s) the non-SmartWay carrier(s) belong to. For truck carriers, specify the appropriate carrier type
(e.g., non-SmartWay Dray). If you are not sure of the appropriate truck carrier type, select the
"General" option.
Activity Data Screen
First provide a detailed text data source description for the sources used to estimate your mileage and
ton-mile data for your carriers by selecting the Describe Data Source button. Be sure to indicate how
you calculated the values, and where this data was obtained. For example, you may use PC Miler,
carrier reports, or accounting/purchasing records to determine miles. Payload and ton-mile estimates
may be based on bills of lading or other internal records.
Next you must specify a Data Availability option for each carrier. There are four Data Availability
options:
a.	Enter ton-miles and total miles (preferred option)
b.	Enter ton-miles and average payload
c.	Enter total miles and average payload
d.	Enter total miles only5
Ideally, when entering information for a carrier, you should use Data Availability Option a. If this is not
possible, please choose the method that uses the most accurate data at your disposal. In this way the
Tool will utilize the most accurate data available for the ton-mile and mile comparison metrics, as well as
for the emissions footprint calculations.
After specifying the Data Availability Option, record your activity data. Enter the data to the nearest
whole number.
Data Availability Option a - Enter total ton-miles and total miles. Total miles correspond to truck miles,
railcar miles, air miles, or barge miles, as appropriate. For rail carriers, DO NOT enter train miles, and for
barge carriers, DO NOT enter miles for the entire string of barges - enter the sum of miles for each
individual railcar and/or barge load.
Data Availability Option b - Enter total ton-miles along with your estimated average payload (per truck
railcar, etc. as appropriate) in short tons (2,000 lbs).
Data Availability Option c - Enter total miles along with your estimated average payload (per truck,
barge or railcar, as appropriate) in short tons (2,000 lbs).
Data Availability Option d - Enter total miles.
5 Option d is available for TL/Dry Van, Refrigerated, Flatbed, Tanker, Moving, Dray, and Auto carrier categories only.
