Measure Your Performance

SmartWay Logistics Companies measure, benchmark, and improve their performance on an annual basis. Logistics company performance is based on evaluating how much of the freight your company ships is carried by benchmarked SmartWay Carriers versus non-SmartWay Carriers.

You must submit a completed and accurate SmartWay Logistics Company Tool to EPA by the due date listed on this page to be a SmartWay Logistics Company in good standing and to be eligible for partner recognition.

Online Logistics Tool

Partners access their Logistic Tool online in the SmartWay Partner Portal. The tool contains guidance on each page to help you complete and submit your tool. This webpage also contains additional guidance to help you complete your tool submission as well as many useful links and documents.

View Carrier Performance Rankings

SmartWay Logistics Companies improve their overall performance by using more and better SmartWay Carriers to move their freight. All SmartWay Carrier Partners are ranked by their performance levels. EPA provides a table with all carriers' relative performance rankings to help SmartWay Shippers and Logistics Company Partners quickly assess the performance of prospective and current carriers in various categories.

You can also view detailed reports and other information about partner performance via the SmartWay Portal.

Watch Training Webinars

EPA provides webinars and other training opportunities to help carriers learn how to get more value from the SmartWay Program.

Resources to Introduce Your Carriers to SmartWay

EPA has created several tools to help you share the benefits of SmartWay with your carriers.

  • Carrier education templates: This page includes several documents and templates to help you introduce your carriers to the benefits of registering with the SmartWay program.
  • Web graphics to link to SmartWay's website: Place one or more of these four Web graphics on your website to draw your audience's attention to key SmartWay resources. You can also develop your own graphics to highlight specific SmartWay Web content.

Improve your Performance

By collaborating with their carriers, suppliers, shippers and other partners, logistics companies often find that they can move and deliver their goods more efficiently and quickly in the supply chain network. Other important benefits include gains in overall supply chain performance, sustainability, and customer satisfaction. The resources below identify a range of strategies that SmartWay logistic companies can use to achieve these benefits.

Take a moment to review the A Glance at Clean Freight Strategies, resources for shippers found on the SmartWay website. Resources that are especially complimentary of two strategy bulletins on this list include Load Optimization for Shippers (pdf) (220K, April 2019, EPA-420-F-19-014) and Route and Network Optimization for Shippers (pdf) (204K, April 2019, EPA-420-F-19-016).

Share Your Achievements

EPA encourages SmartWay Partners to share their achievements and participation in the SmartWay program with their customers, clients, stakeholders, and stockholders. There are several ways Partners highlight achievements:

Best Practice Guidance: Read this page for guidance on how to communicate your participation in the Partnership.

Featured Partner Profiles: EPA frequently develops profiles of SmartWay Partners that provide examples of effective freight supply chain sustainability measures.

  • If you have a strategy, policy, or solution to a significant freight sustainability challenge that you would like to share with your industry, email your interest (smartway_transport@epa.gov) with the subject line "Interested in becoming a Featured Partner" to be considered.
