The Truck Carrier Tool Technical Documentation explains more about the methodological structure and technical aspects of the Tool and the data entry process; this guide will focus primarily on the essentials for completing the Tool. Upon opening the 2018 Tool, you will see a Welcome screen, followed by five screens which orient you to the Tool. 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, and the SmartWay Partner Tool Schedule for 2019. 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 thatyou agree to the terms of the Partnership Agreement. AUTO-POPULATION As you progress through the Tool, you will see an "Auto-Population" screen. This screen allows partners and applicants to input their SmartWay ID and automatically load the information for the initial steps of the Tool (Partner Name, Contact Information, and for established Partners, Fleet Information), based on the prior year's submittal or, for applicants, information entered through the online SmartWay Carrier Application.2 The Auto-Population option can save time and ensure naming consistency for your contacts and fleet(s) from year to year. A popup screen will appear displaying all the contact and fleet data uploaded for your review before proceeding. Corrections and revisions may be made on the HOME screen if needed. If you do not have a SmartWay ID, or prefer to enter this data manually, you may skip this step. DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR 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 thatyou have data from January of the calendar year through December of the same year. If you have not been in operation for a full year, you must collect a minimum of three months' data for input into the SmartWay Tool. In your next update year, you will be expected to submit a full year's data. 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. INTRODUCTORY SCREENS DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR SECTION 1: SPECIFY OFFICIAL PARTNER NAME You may access the SmartWay carrier application at http://app5.erq.com/smartwavonramp/onramp/index.cfm?CFID=708106&CFTQKEN=14c13f056f84b32c-C1172202- F7AC-091B-019982BF6AE1A5 ED. SmartWay Quick Start Guide | Step 1 5 EPA 420 B 19 001 | January 2019 | SmartWay Transport Partnership | epa.gov/smartway ------- ^\xSmartWay U.S. Environmental Protection Agency » You must specify your company's official Partner Name under Section 1 of the HOME screen, exactly as you want it to appear on the SmartWay website. Your company will be listed exactly as you've entered in Section 1. 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. DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR SECTION 2: ENTER CONTACT INFORMATION The SmartWay Tool asks for: V- 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 V- An Executive Contact4for participation in awards and recognition events A Sustainability Contact (optional)5 for information on company sustainability programs and outreach Additional contacts (optional): Additional contacts may include anyone who is not the Working, Executive, or Sustainability 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, in order to proceed. SmartWay recommends developing an internal succession plan to make sure that your Truck Carrier Tool submission schedule is maintained, in the event that a Working Contact is reassigned, or leaves the company for any reason. If you selected the auto-populate option you still MUST review the Contact Information summary screen that pops up upon completion of this step, and revise any entries on the HOME screen as needed. DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR SECTION 3: CHARACTERIZE YOUR FLEETS The Truck Carrier Tool tracks fleet-level operations. Most carriers will only need to create one fleet 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. 5 The Sustainability Contact may be the same as the Working or Executive Contact, but not the same as any Other Contacts. SmartWay Quick Start Guide | Step 1 6 EPA 420 B 19 001 | January 2019 | SmartWay Transport Partnership | epa.gov/smartway ------- ^\xSmartWay U.S. Environmental Protection Agency » If you have multiple fleets that can be hired by customers individually, you should create multiple fleet records in the Tool and characterize their operations individually. You should not include internal company fleet definitions or designations—only separate fleets as they would be identified and hired by your customers. There are five screens in the Fleet Characterization section of the Tool: V- Identify Fleets: For each fleet that a customer can hire, you will be asked to establish names for each of your fleets. Each Fleet Name will begin with your Partner Name and will include a Fleet Identifier. Use a Fleet Identifier that is recognizable by your customers. V- Fleet Details: You will need to confirm control of the fleet. "Control" means that you operate/route the vehicles, regardless of ownership status, and you must confirm that you have at least 95% control of the fleet to include it in the SmartWay Truck Carrier Tool. You will also be asked to provide SCAC, MCN, DOT or NSC numbers (for fleet identification), and define the fleet as "for-hire," "private," or "dedicated". If you have questions, please call the SmartWay helpline at (734)-214-4767. V- Operation Categories: You will need to provide a reasonable estimate of the fleet's split between truckload, less- than-truckload, drayage, package delivery, and expedited operations. V- Body Types: You will need to provide a reasonable estimate of the fleet's split between the following body types: ¦ Dry van ¦ Refrigerated (Reefer)6 ¦ Flatbed ¦ Tanker ¦ Intermodal chassis containers (pooled and owned) ¦ Heavy/Bulk hauler ¦ Auto carriers ¦ Moving ¦ Utility7 ¦ Special hauler (e.g., Hopper, Livestock, and other specialized carriers) V- SmartWay Category: The SmartWay Category designation for each of your fleets will be shown on the fifth screen, based on your selections on the Operation and Body Type screens. For example, SmartWay Categories include ^ If you specify reefer body types in your fleet you must also provide your estimated reefer fuel use in the Activity section of the Tool. 7 The Utility category encompasses class 2b to 8b vehicles that do not carry typical commercial freight. Examples include garbage, recycle, service, work, dump, landscape, cement, bucket, boom, ambulance, armored, fire, farm, wrecker and other similar trucks. Because these trucks do not carry traditional freight payload, the user should self-define their payloads so as to make the emissions per payload efficiency useful to the user. SmartWay will not use the emissions per payload results for the utility category. Users may experience yellow or red warning labels on the Activity screen due to the unique nature of Utility "payload." In the case of red alerts, simply input text defining your special conditions in the required text boxes that appear. SmartWay Quick Start Guide | Step 1 7 EPA 420 B 19 001 | January 2019 | SmartWay Transport Partnership | epa.gov/smartway ------- ^\xSmartWay U.S. Environmental Protection Agency » Truckload/Dry Van, LTL, Mixed, etc. Your fleet's performance will be measured against other carriers with the same category designation, so please ensure you have characterized your fleet correctly before proceeding. Once you have defined your fleets, create the data entry forms for your fleet by selecting the Create Fleet(s) button, available on the SmartWay Categories tab. DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR SECTION 4: FLEET DATA In Section 4 of the Truck Carrier Tool, you will enter detailed activity and fuel consumption data for each of the fleets you identified and characterized in Section 3. General Information Screen Requirements This screen asks you to provide information for six key indicators, including fuel types used. Question 1 asks you to indicate your fleet's percent operation in the U.S. and Canada. Acceptable metrics include miles, fuel consumption, or any reasonable quantitative means of allotting the approximate percentage of operations in the two countries. Next, you must select the fuel types found in this fleet in question 2. You will be asked to define all fuels the fleet used from a list of: 1. Diesel/biodiesel: petroleum diesel and/or biodiesel made from any renewable feedstock 2. Gasoline/Ethanol: conventional and reformulated gasoline, and 85% ethanol (E85) 3. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG): also known as LP Gas, Liquid Propane Gas, and propane 4. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) 5. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) 6. Electric: vehicles exclusively using battery electric power 7. Hybrid: vehicles with hybrid electric or hydraulic hybrid powertrains, using either gasoline or diesel NOTE: Once you check these boxes, the appropriate fuel type tab (along the top of the screen next to the General Information tab) will become active. Please complete the screens for each fuel type you select. Question 3 asks you to determine your short-haul split vs. long-haul split. You will be requested to estimate the percentage of your fleet's operations that are short haul or long haul. A short haul is defined as any haul less than 200 miles; a long haul is defined as any haul in excess of 200 miles. Percentages should be reasonable estimates. SmartWay Quick Start Guide | Step 1 8 EPA 420 B 19 001 | January 2019 | SmartWay Transport Partnership | epa.gov/smartway ------- SmartWay U.S. Environmental Protection Agency » In Question 4, you will be asked to indicate if you broker-out some portion of your company's total freight volume, and if so, to specify what percent of your total loads shipped last year were brokered. If you indicate that more than 5 percent of company's total freight volume is brokered out, you will receive a warning that you should consider using the Logistics Carrier Tool or the Multimodal Carrier Tool instead of the Truck Carrier Tool. You may choose to contact your Partner Account Manager (PAM) or the SmartWay helpline if this occurs. For Question 5, check to box if your fleet operates in the Northeast United States. This information is voluntary and not required for Tool submittal. This question asks about your activities in the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) member states. The OTC is a multi-state organization created under the Clean Air Act, responsible for advising EPA on transport issues and for developing and implementing regional solutions to the ground-level ozone problem in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. OTC member states include Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia. If you operate in these states, please specify if you were asked to join SmartWay by the OTC. If so, you should then indicate what percentage of your operation is based in the OTC, what the percentage estimate is based on (miles, gallons, or other) and the percentage value. NOTE: For fleets categorized as Less-than-truckload/Dry Van, data for the average number of loads per truck and weight per load are now required in Question 6. Pay close attention to how these values are defined and estimated - the tool will validate these estimates by comparing them against the payload data entered later on the Activity screen. FUEL-SPECIFIC SECTIONS: ENGINE MODEL YEAR & CLASS, AND ACTIVITY INFORMATION SCREENS This section looks at truck classes and engine model years. Under each fuel-type tab (Diesel, Gasoline, LPG, LNG, CNG, Electric, and Hybrid) there are up to three screens requiring data inputs: 1. the Engine Model Year & Class8 screen 2. the Activity Information screen 3. the PM Reduction screen will appear for diesel vehicles if you specify diesel trucks with pre- 2007 engines on the Engine Model Year & Class screen To complete these screens, you will need to have the following data on hand V- the number of trucks in each fleet split out by engine model year and truck class V- total miles by vehicle class revenue miles by vehicle class 8 For electric trucks, this screen is known as the "Motor Model Year and Class Screen".
