Fleet Owner's Green Fleet of the Year: Saddle Creek Transportation

April 8, 2014

For many fleets, the possibility of switching from diesel to natural gas is intriguing, and in some specialized applications like refuse collection, natural gas-powered trucks are already common.  For most trucking operations though, especially ones involving Class 8 payloads and long distances, natural gas is still a question mark. To Saddle Creek Transportation, though, natural gas is more than an experiment, and for that, the trucking arm of Saddle Creek Logistics has been named the 2014 Fleet Owner Green Fleet of the Year. The Green Fleet of the Year is co-sponsored by WIX Filters. For more on Saddle Creek's natural gas strategies and successes, click here.
